What i found in teenage sons room

[Worriedmommaofteenageboy]

Ok I was rearranging and tidying my sons room while he is at his fathers. I was changing his bedside cabinet for a smaller one and in doing so I was sorting and tidying his underwear and socks. I saw a sock that was dirty (the sole) so took it out to throw in the pile of washing, as thought he had shoved it in by mistake. This is where it gets weird, I found a thong inside the sock that's not mine and looks like he was wanted into it!! Ds is 14 and the only other woman it could belong to is his dads wife. I'm now petrified that he's going to be a weirdo or that there is something mentally wrong with him, my anxiety is through the roof and I don't know what to do about it, I don't know what I'm looking for by posting this maybe some reassurance or an explanation as to why he would I dunno ,please help me out

Perfectly normal behaviour I’m afraid.

There’s a lesson there about going in a teenagers room and moving things.

And now you know the rule of parenting teens is to walk past their bedroom door..

Don't dig in your son's drawers! or room!

Are you sure it couldn’t be a girls (friend or girlfriend) thong or one he has ordered online?

I think you are massively invading his personal space. My 15 year old would not appreciate me snooping around his undies drawer.

Why are you rearranging his room when he is not there?

How do you know it could only belong to her?

I agree with a PP. You really should not be looking in your teenage son's drawers.

Close the drawer, walk out and do not go back .

Put it back an ld leave him alone.

He knew I was going rearranging it today as he has had new fitted wardrobes put in his room

I found a thong inside the sock that's not mine and looks like he was wanted into it!!

DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT pick up any single socks in a boy's bedroom. You need hazmat gear and a full training day.

Do nothing, put it back. Never mention it!! Perfectly normal.

It could be from another girl???

I never go in my 17 year olds underwear drawer, I haven't since he was maybe about 12 or 13 and this is why.

Just put it back where you found it and forget about it.

It could only belong to her as we are in lockdown. The only place he goes is his dads she's the only other female in his life

My god don't go rummaging through your son's personal things. A horny teenage boy having a thong hidden in his room isn't a big deal. Put it back where you found it and never mention it.

Tbf, it would have been worse if it had been your thong.

Yeah I think he's at that age where you stop going in his room without him being there and you knocking and definitely stop going through his draws. He has a right to masturbation and privacy. The thongs could have come from anywhere, I'd forget you ever saw them.

Oh good grief, he’s a teenage boy. I could tell you exactly what he probably does with that sock and thong but frankly, his personal space has been invaded enough today.

Rest assured, it’s gross, best not to think about, but it’s perfectly normal.

Bloody hell. Totally normal. Even if it was his dads wife it doesn't mean he was thinking of her or anything. Leave him the hell alone, he's old enough to tidy his own room, stay out of there and give him his privacy.

This is going to make me look at sock puppets in a whole new light.

*wanked

Put it back. Say nothing.

New wardrobes don't mean your mum rearranging the contents of your sock drawer. You overstepped there, OP!

Surely he might have had it since before lockdown (maybe he kept it at his dad's before). He probably imagines that it belongs to his gorgeous girlfriend. Just pretend you never found it.
