As a Mom of two grown sons, I've been there, and I didn't handle any of it nearly as well as you did. At least you know, and he knows that you know, so that part is past you. You're communicating, even if it is awkward and weird. Good luck on your journey down this road. Thank goodness it doesn't last forever. Good post.

"You're grounded for LIFE, I don't care if you just turned 18!!" ;p So... we tried to get to know the girl more, he adjusted all his college plans to go where she was going giving up a scholarship to another school (WHA???) and before Christmas even rolled around she had cheated on him with 2 different people and he was heart broken. Hard lessons they have to learn sometimes and we can't protect them from consequences even though we often wish we could.<br /><br />Hang in there!<br />((HUGS))Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04243241502261974167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-256911450791990581.post-85444885748411499212010-08-01T15:38:34.798-04:002010-08-01T15:38:34.798-04:00You did handle this very well and gave us all a la...You did handle this very well and gave us all a laugh with your imagining the other uses for the condoms.

LOL!<br /><br />I think you handled it perfectly, and I think you are an awesome mom for allowing yourself to remain calm enough to get him to discuss it with you and get him to be honest about it. That's a huge accomplishment with a teenager, I mean wow. You are seriously talented Java!<br /><br />I'm also pretty proud of not just him, but you for the fact that's he's actually using condoms, AND that he practiced. You know what, I'm sure you thought it sounded gross, but I remember being in college and my roommate and I broke open a pack and were trying to figure out how to use them correctly too. She ended up making a balloon animal. And then her mouth went numb from the non-9. Now that was a good story to repeat. LOL LOL It's better than he figured out how to do it the right way on his own so he didn't put it on inside out and then have it break when they did it. This would be the plus side to trying it out. Now what i am wondering is why it took him so many tries to figure it out??? LOL<br /><br />Java, I just know I am going to end up with a herd of little boys and I just don't know if I am going to be as good at it as you are and I really hope your blog is still around in 15 years so I can ask questions!!!<br /><br />And a "neat travel case for a toothbrush"???

HILARIOUS ...I came upon you thru Grammy Girlfriend. HILARIOUS post...altho' about a very serious subject. Your humor brings light to you! As for your son, I am glad you had an open talk about it...even if it did end with him calling you "mother" - LOL! I wouldn't let it go tho', b/c I believe you should reinforce "not in this house ever again if you have to at all anymore!" to ensure that Short doesn't walk in. Also, you may want to talk with him some more about the character of this girl...he's the 3rd!! Ok, and NO clawing eyes out when she's at your house again!!! But, I'm glad he practiced (& yes I openly LOL'd on that one!) so he's not only practicing birth control, but protecting himself from those she's already been with!

I will never forget the day I did my son's laundry and found the dreaded wrapper. Stick a knife in my heart and call me done!<br /><br />But it was nothing compared to when I found out my daughter was having sex. Unprotected sex. It's a scary and complicated world our kids are living in. Even though it is rapidly turning my hair grey....I'm glad my daughter now talks to me about EVERYTHING.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316595488903619354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-256911450791990581.post-56694500215486010282010-07-30T21:52:53.299-04:002010-07-30T21:52:53.299-04:00Oh Java, I'm just catching up on blog posts af...Oh Java, I'm just catching up on blog posts after a busy week and I have to say, I chuckled all through your list of 20 possible uses for a condom! You have quite the imagination!!! :)<br /><br />But seriously, I remember when I found a condom in my younger brother's jeans when I was doing his laundry years ago. Looking back, I think he actually wanted me to find it so he could talk to me about the fact that he and his girlfriend were having sex. Especially since his girlfriend at the time was way more experienced that he was and I think he felt pressured to have sex or else she'd think he was weird. <br /><br />Probably Tall wanted you to find the condom as well since he obviously wanted to talk to you. For me it was really hard to know how to give my younger brother advice because at the time, he was 16 and I was 17!!! Talk about the blind leading the blind. I was still innocent and naive and tried to give him the best advice I could because talking to my parents wasn't even an option. Thankfully Tall has a wonderful mother who is able to give him good advice and guidance. He is blessed to you as a Mom!Rohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03631771953626754039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-256911450791990581.post-23204973485719406622010-07-30T18:54:34.762-04:002010-07-30T18:54:34.762-04:00Came over via Grammy Girlfriend and I'm so gla...Came over via Grammy Girlfriend and I'm so glad I did.
