[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been asked to leave the room for a portion of the visit since DC turned 13. I assume it's to ask questions about drugs/alcohol/abuse. Is this not the norm?[/quote]

I leave for her to ask him questions, but I stay for the entire actual exam (even the private part).[/quote]

Yucky. How would you have felt if your Mom/Dad had done that?[/quote]

I spent three years changing his diaper and six years giving him baths. I think he can handle me seeing his twig and berries for thirty seconds a year.[/quote]

Jesus, lady.  You need some boundaries and your kids deserve privacy.  I have teen and older boys.  They ran around the house with no or minimal clothing for years, too.  Doesn't mean that I didn't leave the exam room for their privacy during a doctor's visit when they were teens.  [/quote]

Or to turn it around, I spent years chasing diapers on my DD, bathing her until she was able to do it herself, etc.  I am a father.
I have no need to be in the room when DD is examined.  And she is very open with me, but because I respect her privacy,[/quote]
