That’s what I have decided 15 year olds are.. just this huge glob of hormones busting at the seams with these legs that allow them to walk around fooling you into thinking they are still the little baby you gave birth to, only bigger and a lot more emotional.
It makes me wonder what the repercussions would be of having my 15 year old son’s genitalia surgically removed and then reattached when he becomes of an age.. you know like maybe 30 or 35? Okay, obviously that is not something I am seriously considering.. but darned if I wouldn’t like to have that as an option right about now.
All of this is on my mind because a friend of mine was telling me about some kids my son’s age getting caught having sex in the school bathroom.. eeww in itself.. but there you have it. So now I’m freaking out.
I wonder, and yes I want to know damn it.. has he already had sex? Would he tell me? I sure wouldn’t have told my mother, but I have a more open relationship with my kids about such things than my mom did with me and my brothers. So I honestly don’t know if he would or wouldn’t.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to sit and discuss sexual conquests with him.. heck I’m not even 100% sure I want to know it from him, but I do want to know that he would discuss it with me if he needed or wanted to, and if he didn’t.. I still want to know. I don’t even care who tells me, I just would like to know. Right now, however, I’m going with the idea that he hasn’t and pray fervently that is true. But that alone brings so many other things to mind, to think about, fret about and obsess over.
We’ve covered the discussions. Sex, results of sex, safe sex, diseases, emotional aspects, urges, willpower, all of it. But beyond the conversation and when it gets down to it, what do you do with a potentially sexually active teenager. How mothers before me have gone through this and survived it.. I have no clue. All I know is that this crap isn’t easy and to be perfectly honest with you, it’s scary as hell.
Let’s look at the options. …read more
