[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]17 year old is almost an adult. You need to start backing off and allowing him more autonomy or he will have no choice but to lie to you.

It is time to start thinking about how you want to relate to him as an adult.[/quote]

With a 16 year old girl whose parents disapprove?  Op’s Son is setting himself up for a discussion in a police station and a sex offender label.

Put  aside the disobeying parents (very bad) and springing the night with a GF (I would say no to a minor who lived under my roof) and the general sneaking around. OP’s son is setting himself up to be accused of ... rape, statutory rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment if the girls mom and dad find out. Especially if she tries to weasel out of responsibility and consequences by lying. [/quote]

This. I say that as a mom of a son and a daughter. I rebelled as a teen and did all sorts of things. You handled this well, OP.  I’m glad you went home. Speak with him today calmly about the real possibility of statutory rape. How long before he turns 18?  You can’t stop what happens during the day but don’t turn a blind eye if he’s living under your roof and you know it’s going on. Take the keys for NYE for lying.  No, I’m not okay with spending the night at boyfriend or girlfriend’s houses. They can do that in college when I don’t know about it. [/quote]
