Teenager keeps breaking rules about households mixing

[CathTurnbull]

Anyone else have a teen who will not comply? We are in a lockdown area and my son (15) keeps going to his gf’s house. I obviously can’t stop him going out completely, and don’t mind him meeting some friends outside (socially distancing), but he always ends up at his gf’s.

Her mum doesn’t give a toss so there’s no support or compliance from that end. I’ve stopped pocket money but he will not listen.

Anyone else in this situation and what have you tried?

Would you rather they have sex in the park?

Didn't most of us start our sex lives that way? There was no way my parents were going to let me and my boyfriend be alone in their house. I remember sex in the park quite fondly.

If it was the teenager posting we'd be telling them to stick to the rules but there's no point in making a parent who has already tried on multiple occasions to get their child to follow the rules feel bad about not being able to do so. There a number of people of all ages who will only get that the rules apply to them when they are caught by the police and fined but it isn't realistic to expect a parent to purposely get their child with no means to earn money a fine that the parent will end up paying.

OP there is not much you can do apart from the normal mix of stern talking, bribery and punishment. I assume he isn't funding himself so you still have some leverage.
