My 15 year old son had a 17 year old girl over yesterday. He is allowed to have female company as long as his door remains open. I called him in here last night to ask him a question about the computer and she followed him in here. Now this is the first time I have ever met this girl was yesterday. She says "Don't worry, he is still fully dressed" and she starts giggling. I looked at her and I said "He better be!" Now, for the teen girls, is this just how ya'll talk now or is this out of the ordinary? Parents of sons...what would you of said/done?

I would say this girl has no respect for parental boundaries. I would speak to my son and let him know this type of behavior is unacceptable in your house and that if this young lady, and I put that loosely, is going to be over again she better mind her tongue. I would want other parents to tell me if my child was disrespectful in their home. Even at 17. She isn't going to make it very far in life with this personality. If it happened again I would directly show my disapproval to the girl, and ask her to leave.

I have a 17 year old son and if someone new make or female showed up and said something stupid; first thing I would have asked for is an apology. I would then explain that I do not liked to be talked to like that at least until I get to know the other person better. If your son and the girl have a problem with that; don't back down. Stick to your guns!

You'd be surprised what kids are like when the parents aren't around. You think you know your kids? Think again. Teenagers of both sexes pressure the other for sex because it is a status symbol. At 14/15 years old, hormones are raging and sex is on the brain. Teach them to practice safe sex and it'll be all right. You can only do so much and you can't watch them 24/7.

I would have said, 'good, cuz no offence but I aint avin no under age funny business goin on in my house, especially when it involves my son, however I'd b a bit suss at the fact that she seems to know what your thinking and giggling about it, id call that potential!!! If all this fails then just try to encourage your son to use protection, no matter what this girl says.

She sounds impolite, no, actually awful. I am twenty three, but have an eighteen year old sister. She will never speak like that to a grown up, especially not the mother of her boy friend. But I do not know what you should do, I have no parenting experience. Good luck!

She sounds a bit of a controller. I believe she would be able to influence your son quite a bit. I would keep the negative remarks out of his ear shot (this will only make him chase her more). If she comes over again, make sure you are involved with them, you know include yourself or them in an activity. Get to know her a bit.

well, I am a parent, kids are smarter than we give them credit for. As a matter of fact, my teenage boys know more than I knew when I was 25. She was just trying to be cute... in front of him, not harm done... let it go. At least she didn't attempt to close the bedroom door.

I am a 16 year old girl so...it sounds like she was just joking around...maybe she thought you were gonna talk about her or something... i don't think you have any thing to worry about.

I would say it is just her personality. I know alot of young people that joke like that. If this is something you are concerned about, I would suggest just talking to your son about it, if you feel like you or him would be uncomfortable about it, maybe find another family member or family friend he trusts to talk to.

I have a teenage son. yes, this is the way teens talk now. I would have said "I know he's glad he is" then i would have looked at him and said " ooh, boy, you would have had hell to pay".
