Google history dilemma

[satsumatime]

Namechanged for this one. DS (17) borrowed my laptop a week or so ago as his wasn't working. Unbeknownst to me he left himself logged in to his gmail account. When I opened Chrome to search for something I didn't realise it was logged into his account (honestly!) and starting typing and it became clear very quickly that he has been googling things like 'cost of abortion pill' and 'how long to take pill after sex'. He has a girlfriend and I have been aware that they have been heading in that direction and have had all the relevant talks with him and he seemed to have taken all this on board. I know of course that accidents do happen but I admit that this has panicked me.

My dilemma is...do I mention that I have seen his google search history.or do I just ignore and hope and pray that they have taken the necessary steps and that have learnt a lesson?

it seems they are doing their best to be proactive about the situation in how they want to deal with it

you could always gently say if he needs to talk about anything then you're there and won't judge/react badly, will just listen and help

You could say you've seen the search history and ask if he needs help with anything youre there and are judgement free, and just want to support/help if needed

You need a condom drawer. When our sons reached the age of sexual activity we told them that in my husbands bedside drawer were condoms for them to help themselves to without any questions from us.

Thank you both. @oopsupsideyourheadisayoopsupsideypurhead although we don't have a drawer, he does absolutely have condoms. That's partly why I was a bit surprised at the searches I think.

@adulthoodisajoke I hope that he knows that he can talk to me about anything, but of course this is not something you necessarily want to talk to a parent about, however approachable/non judgmental said parent might be.

I think maybe I am catastrophising and leaping forwards to the worst case scenario!
