Overbearing mother alert!!!
Ds (yr 9) has recently made friends with a girl in his year at school. He's started going out to meet her after school and on the weekend. They message each other a lot when he's at home.
He's been perfectly open about the friendship (after a little interrogation from me and is sharing a lot more info with me than I ever did with my own mother!!!).
I've suggested they hang out at our house instead of wandering the village when the weather is shitty but he is mortified by this idea. I've promised I won't embarrass him and will leave them to watch tv downstairs while I hide in my room 
but this is still a stupid idea (in his opinion!!).
Any thoughts? Should I back off and just let him do as he wants? I admit I am a little terrified of this teenage phase...my own was hideous and I don't want Ds' and my relationship to turn out like mine and my mother's.

It's my poor attempt at trying to be funny and not taking things too seriously (esp the cool mum comment!)
I had the same with my Dd14 wouldn't bring the boyfriend home out in all weather I did all sorts promised not to speak to him 9 months they agreed to venture in the garden then to the garden room x same boyfriend nearly two years later can't get them to go outside x be careful what you wish for
Yes and 30 mins before he was meant to!! They ended up going to his friend's house because it was raining so much ...only feeling a little miffed that they didn't come here 
DS was only gone 1.5 hrs. His date had been told to be home within the hour, so short but sweet! He seems to be quite happy with how it went, but when I asked him if they had arranged anything else, he said he wanted to but was too scared to ask 
. I have told him to at least drop her a text to show he is still interested...
