My youngest DS (15) has started dating a girl of the same age. This is all new to me, as my older children have SN and have never dated, not even shown any interest in a romance of any sort.
DS seems smitten, they're spending every day with each other, going to each other's houses after school and at the weekend. She seems lovely, very polite. It's only a new thing, three weeks, but I'd like to put some boundaries in and not sure what is acceptable.
When they are here, they spend time in DS room, and I believe they do the same at her house. She lives in a townhouse and apparently her bedroom is opposite the living room, but they are allowed to shut the door. I've joked on about keeping the door open here, but not sure if I'm being too harsh. So far the door has been shut. When asked what they've been doing, in a non prying way, they say watching films/anime.
Theyre sitting their GCSEs soon (they go to same school) as well, and I don't want DS spending time with her until 8/9pm every night when he should be revising and doing coursework. She doesn't live local, and we are either picking him up or dropping her off, as her parents don't seem to care how she is getting back or at what time. She's also having dinner here, and I am giving her my portion as I shop on a budget. DS has had a couple of meals there.
DH and I dated from the same age, and I know what we got up to when in his room, but thinking that my child might be doing that is jarring.
