“No I am apologizing for the way I behaved regardless of the situation. “Is this a joke? You are apologizing to me because I broke the rules?” he said. He looked shocked and slowly shook his head As a parent I have to show restraint even in difficult times, because I would want you to think before you speak. I said many things I meant, but I shouldn’t have said them out loud. “First off, I wanted to apologize for the way I behaved yesterday towards you and your girlfriend. I called him into my room the next day to find out why he made this poor decision once again. I am not comfortable knowing that my son is having sex in his room.
I am more of the if-you-have-time-to-hang-out-then-you-have-time-for-work-and-school mom.
I realized that I didn’t have a conversation with my son about which way he views sex and felt a conversation was in order. I am not the “cool mom.” I am not going to put condoms in a jar and allow girls to come “hang out” with him in his room. Sexual behavior can be animalistic and reckless or done with feelings of love, longevity and respect.
