Umm what? This is overkill. Girls aren’t getting pregnant from a phone call.

I think you have to decide and talk about what sexual activity is allowed in your house and not rely on doors and whatever.

How are they getting from point A to B? That would be my concern. Also I’ve also heard that most co-Ed get together at friends houses are not parent-supervised and kids with very lax parents throw parties - with parent-supplied or allowed alcohol. And there is a lot of sex going on!

- source is my 16yo daughter, a goody-two-shoes who doesn’t have a boyfriend and doesn’t get invited to many parties because she tells her mom everything

No bedrooms or basement are you stupid??
Yes they will be able to have sex anywhere you don’t have to make it easy
Make sure he carries condoms in his wallet talk to him every single week

Talk to him about abortion ie if the girl wants one yes that’s ok. make sure he understands what it means to be a father no help from you .

Have you spoken to your son about consent and condoms?

Plenty can happen in a basement between the alone time and hearing your mom coming down the stairs.... Just FYI. No to bedroom door open or not.

This. Also, make sure you have the talk and provide condoms.

It depends on how soon you are ok with being a grandma? Talk to the girls parents, not us.

Next time before they come over provide a large box of condoms - enough for them to make mistakes with - and several tubes of lube… be tactful, in a basket or something with a sweet note about romance. Better they start the right way now before winding up in the backseat of their car being watched by tramps somewhere in Loudon.
