To be marginally mortified that I did not handle this well....

[MTHead]

I just walked into my 14 yr old DS's room and caught him having a wank (seriously need to follow my own 'knock and wait' policy ).

We stared at each other for what seen about a million yrs (about a second) and I spluttered 'what are you doing?!' DOH!!!! To which he replied 'Nothing!!' and went red so I told him to tidy his room and left .

He is now in the shower ekkkk!

Ha my MIL walked in on DH and a girlfriend doing the deed! She never interrupted us so always thinks of me as a " nice" girl.
My DS 1 is nearly 14, I am not looking forward to the whole issue.

That made me properly LOL in real life. DP grinned when I told him why Just pretend it never happened and follow the knock and wait rule to a tee next time!

You could tell him to push something in front of the door so it doesn't happen again? My sisters and I had to resort to pushing TVs and cupboards in front of the door once we got boyfriend's as Mum would just walk in every hour or so

Don't apologise. Just pretend it never happened, he'll thank you for it. My mum walked in on me doing the same and 20+ years later the memory still makes me cringe in shame. But she never mentioned it again, thank Christ!

I DREAD boyfriend/girlfriend etiquette 1QQ .

Do you think this is a teenage boy thing? DD is 14 and I've started to make alot of noise before going into her room!

Please don't apologize. Just pretend it never happened!!!!!

I'm so glad mine are still little sometimes

I feel for you OP! DS is also 14 but I haven't done this - yet - will try and learn from your mistake

FWIW if it did/does happen to me I think I'd go down the 'never mention it again' route ...

Wank Mitten that's horrific!

bogchicken Oh yes! I will never forget that thread, it was one of the funniest threads I've ever read

Hilarious thread! Wankmitten!!!

Oh no, no, no!

Why did I read this? My son is 12, please tell me they dont start that young

Here you go

wank mitten

Be wary of when/if they call you up to their room, my ex-DP told me of a 'game' his mates used to admit to playing (and boast about how close it was!). They'd be in their room wanking, then would call their Mum so she'd come up and would have to finish off before she opened the door Should've seen it coming considering he admitted to playing soggy biscuit and a variety of similar 'games' whilst in the forces

OMG at that last 'game'!! So funny! May someone out there protect me from the teenage years (I have dd, ds, dd and the oldest is only 7 so a while away yet (I hope))! DS never leaves his willy alone as it is and he's only 5.

I can't knit .

Reminds me of a story a colleague told me years ago (and I can't verify it) of a friend who had a one-night stand and kept the girl's knickers as a souvenir.

The following day he was in his room with his headphones on, music playing, knickers on face, giving himself one off the wrist while thinking about the night before.
When he finished he removed the knickers from his face to find a cup of tea and a plate of biscuits on his bedside cabinet.

Giserable - I think you will find that's an urban myth that has 'happened' to about two dozen people I've met in my life!

OP - I agree with others never mention it again! He probably thinks you are way too old and prudish to have a clue about what he was doing.

Apologise for not knocking and buy him a box of tissues.

O no. I am dreading the teenage boy stage. When my ds was about 3 he was in the bath and suddendly said.
"mummy I have a problem. My willy is too big"
My mature grown up reaction was to laugh.

Apologise for not knocking and forget about it. That's probably all he wants to do.
