....see, I knew it'd all happen at once...Z turns 16 Friday, and goes on his first 'date' to the movies with a girl he's been messaging, and receiving messages from on Sunday......but she's "not his girlfriend" - according to his best mate. I am very proud of him, he plays his cards close to his chest, is quite private in his 'affairs' and doesn't have to brag to his mates, or anyone else about his exploits - it's nice to see teens are 'courting' again and not rushing into things (not all, but some anyway).
I was thrilled to bits for him, my heart soars to think that someday a girl will love each of my sons as much as I do!

Oh you lucky, lucky lady to have a sensible young man. If you have read all my older posts, you will know the "trauma" I am having with 15 yr old step-son and his girlfriend. Although, I did scare the bejesus out of girlfriend the other day when I told her all my preganacies happened while on the pill! I think they may be more careful!! Happy birthday for him Toni xx
Thanks Toni - it would be a whole new ball game with a step son I would imagine! With all of the messages about safe sex (not just for unwanted pregnancies) out there at the moment you wonder why it doesn't sink in - remember the first big AIDS campaign - it still scares me!!!
I have always encouraged my boys to have minds of their own - as I said to them, when you're an old man reflecting on your life do you want to look back and think 'gee I'm glad I made so and so - and such and such happy' - my eldest finds it easy, not caring too much what others think is good in many ways, peer pressure doesn't seem to affect him too much. My young man is a little more easily influenced by friends, and feels the need to 'impress' at times, but we're working on that! I haven't written much about him - yet - his current health situation is a looong story, and hard for me to write at the moment as it's a touchy subject. It's manageable, not terminal illness or anything so devastating but chronic and affecting him psychologically as well.
Much love & blessings to you and your family - Gina xxx
I know with the safe sex messages. The kids seem to be getting complacent. They are thinking they are invincible! My step-son smokes and he thinks that he will be fine. He thinks that this age is the best age to be unhealthy because he can make up for it later! So much to worry about...Toni xx
