I know i tell my mom just about everything. my mom and I are friends and tell a lot to each other. if anything, that's good. it means he considers you very close.

This is a wonderful thing!
You should be proud of yourself, the job you have done in raising a child who has that much trust in his mother!
I am a 40 year old woman and I was lucky enough to have parents I could talk to about anything, incl. my first kiss and...the rest.
I raised both of my boys (19 and 15 now) the same way and I could not even imagine it being any other way. They know that there is nothing, absolutely nothing they could not talk over with their mom (and dad, as a matter of fact, even though my husband had some hard times with this at first, but understands now the importance of it).
Congratulations, Mom, you have done a wonderful job. Keep it up!

He's being open and that's what you want. Try not to show that you are embarrassed and be prepared for other things to come. As long as you know he's safe and can talk to you you're being a good parent. You're the only parent he's ever known so be glad he trusts and confides in you.

Really? Your son is 16, and now you want to have the "Birds and the Bee's" conversation. I think your son is probably very aware of the female anatomy already. Your his mother, sit him down and talk to him, what is so difficult. You don't have to give him a dissertation, just the honest facts. Just reiterate what he most likely already knows. Stress all the negatives regarding unsafe sex. I don't think a "show and Tell" production is necessary.

It can be very normal due to the fact that you are the only adult in his life. Don't view it as a bad thing it's a very good thing that he is able to confide in you. You feeling awkward is a normal feeling and it should go away eventually just give it time.

You're lucky! I wish my son would confide in me. It's like pulling teeth trying to get information out of him. I think the open communication you have with your son is great. Just don't ever let him lose sight of who's in charge.

It's good he feels like he can talk to you about things, but just make sure you are his mom and not his "buddy." Parents who are "friends" to their kids often don't get the respect they deserve and the kids often don't have limits.

yes it's a good thing. this means he really trusts you. be glad because when bigger things come up he will be willing to confide in you.
