[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 119620, member: 2211"] Regarding the girlfriend's parents being so relaxed: They are probably not thinking that their daughter is at an age where sexual activity is a possibility. They are sorely mistaken. At least while they are at your house 1) do what you can to supervise in a non-obnoxious way. 2) Communicate with your son, and 3) communicate with the girlfriend. It's a good thing to get to know her well enough to guage what their feelings are for one another at any given time. Girls tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves and are often easier to read than boys. You can tell when there are sparks-a-flying by how they interact with one another in front of you. *For me and my two girls* the tip off that they were progressing towards sexual intimacy was the impression of a certain level of 'ownership' between them. My difficult child & her then boyfriend seemed to come unhinged if they knew they wouldn't be able to to see one another (they were 15 at this time). Same exact thing with my easy child, except for later on when she began having anxiety attacks because of his possessiveness. Just something to watch. You're doing great! [/QUOTE]
