[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you allow it, keep strict supervision over them. It's not just sex or emotions, now. It's social media too.

My son was 14 and a brand new freshman when a girl asked for his snap and then they started "dating." She definitely was the person pushing the relationship to each new level. I knew he was not emotionally mature enough for any of this. But I took it as an opportunity to talk him through it, and to try to ensure he was being both respectful and safe. It only lasted a couple of months and I watched them like a hawk at my house. I had just gotten permission to go back to work after COVID, which I was dying to do. I hate working at home. But stayed home because of this new relationship of his. It only lasted a couple of months, and he broke up with her because they really had nothing in common. I walked him through that, too. No ghosting. Face to face. They are both great people but there really isn't much in common. Nobody's fault, etc.

She got really upset. And started spreading rumors on social media about him that were categorically untrue because I had been there almost every step of the way.  They weren't horrific rumors, but they weren't true, and this social media revenge can be the new reality of relationships gone wrong.

Ick on the mama’s boy syndrome. The evil pursuant female against the poor innocent boy. Please stop on your cluelessness [/quote]

Please take your issues somewhere else.  Anyone with kids in this age ground knows girls are more mature than boys. I have been a woman far longer than I have been a mother and the takeaway here should be I kept an eye on my son like a hawk so he did nothing inappropriate. [/quote]
