DS is 15 (year 10) as is his girlfriend of about 3 months. They are allowed in each other's bedrooms provided they leave the door ajar and there are people in the house. This afternoon the door was only open a tiny fraction and I was becoming uneasy about the creaky bed noises coming from inside. Opened the door to find them both under the duvet and semi-clothed.
I was cross and told them both to go downstairs. We were all about to eat anyway and afterwards ds came to me and asked me not to tell his gf's mum who was about to pick her up. I said I'd have to think about it as I felt uncomfortable about not telling her but then agreed I wouldn't. He then told me that they had been about to have sex for the first time - he had a condom ready!!!
Leaving aside how gob-smacked I am at him volunteering this information, I'm now in a quandary over what to do. Obviously I've told him he's too young and I can't condone it. But I'm not stupid and I'm sure they will find opportunities. I therefore want him to be armed with as much information as possible, dispel any myths and be sure that, if there are any mistakes, they don't just keep their fingers crossed. But that seems like giving him the green light.
Any advice please?!
