What i found in teenage sons room

170 replies

Worriedmommaofteenageboy · 23/01/2021 14:56

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

I never know what parents expect to find when they go rooting around in teenagers drawers!
The reality is this could be any girls, lockdown isn't a reason it has to be his step mums. Unless you are suggesting you looked last week and it wasn't there then.

It easily could have been from any girl before lockdown.

@statetrooperstacey

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

Exactly what I was thinking.

Indecisive12 · 23/01/2021 15:17

What size is the thong and what size is his Dads girlfriend? Surely the simplest thing to do is wash it then when you pick him up ask her if it’s hers.

@DynamoKev

Is this serious? Has to be joke, surely.
It's crossed my mind it's a troll thread now. Surely no one would freak out this much over this

Good god no!!!!! If it is hers, the poor boy would be mortified for life!! And you'd have to explain where you found it if it wasn't hers! Please do not do this op, for the love of god

@whenthestarsgoblue

I haven't said a word. It's just me and her at home and we have a pretty open relationship but there are limits!

It's easy to be shocked at things teens know about sex these days, but when I think back to how curious I was at that age, and how different it would have been if the internet and online shopping had been available...

Bluntness100 · 23/01/2021 15:21

Christ I’m surprised at these responses.

I’d be bloody freaked if I thought my son had stolen his step mothers underwear and wanked into it for gods sake, and no that’s not fucking normal teenage boy stuff.

Op, they are right you shouldn’t be snooping but that is besides the point. You also can’t mention this. There is no good way to.

Worriedmommaofteenageboy · 23/01/2021 15:22

Its not a joke, I say weirdo because it has to be his stepmothers is that not weird, should I not be concerned? He's a very innocent 14 year old I just didn't expect it. I'm not saying masterbation is wrong etc, I'm just a bit weirded out with it being his stepmother and trust me it has to be hers thats what has me weirded out

It mat have nothing to do with his step mum. If he has access to his own money its very cheap and easy to buy things on the Internet!

Worriedmommaofteenageboy · 23/01/2021 15:23

It was size 16-18 her size!

Well I’m with you. It’s really fucking weird behaviour if he’s stolen her thong and wanked into it. How close are you to his father? Can you mention it to him?
MintyCedric · 23/01/2021 15:24

Probably opportunity then, rather than anything more sinister.

Worriedmommaofteenageboy · 23/01/2021 15:25

Thank you, its not just me then

Macncheeseballs · 23/01/2021 15:25

Not relevant but thongs gross me out

Bluntness100 · 23/01/2021 15:25

New poster or name changed op?

But that's just an assumption. An assumption OP os clinging to for some reason - which is weird

OP has no way of knowing how long its been there or who it belongs to - unless this isn't the first time she has 'tidied' his sock drawer! Which would also be weird!

Worriedmommaofteenageboy · 23/01/2021 15:26

We would have a strained relationship, so its not something I could bring up to him

Well that's not a surprise!

Name changed im not a troll im a worried mother

Its probably something a friend gave him as a joke present at some point and he has hidden it out of the way. Even if he is using it, a lot of 14 years olds are doing a lot worse. Put it back and leave him to it.

AlbusSeverusMalfoy · 23/01/2021 15:28

@Worriedmommaofteenageboy

It was size 16-18 her size!
Maybe it's his 🤷🏻‍♀️
Indecisive12 · 23/01/2021 15:29

I was joking in my earlier post of return it to her but I do actually think you need to check with his Dad if it’s hers as yeah it’s weird!
I also think you have to speak to him about it. Masturbation is normal, wanking to your step mums stolen underwear isn’t type of thing.

Indecisive12 · 23/01/2021 15:29

How long as his dad been with his girlfriend?

luxxlisbon · 23/01/2021 15:29

I honestly think it is way weirder that you examined it so closely and looked at the size label!
