My son is 16. He has girlfriend who is16. Her mother & I talked alot about each others rules. She doesn't want them to be alone because she is scared what might happen. I understand what she is saying. I told her if my son is invited 2 go anywhere by her daughter that I would be calling her 2 veryify that is really what is going on. It isn't because I don't trust my son. It is because I didn't do it with his sister & she lied every time she had the chance. I trust him & I try 2 explain 2 him why I do it is because didn't do it with his sister & I should have & I learned from it & there for I am doing it right this time with him. He is mad at me now for doing it. I don't see what the big deal is if he is where he says he is going 2 be. I told him I would be doing this and he didn't say anything about it / act mad. But tonight he went 2 her house 2 watch a movie. I called her mom but she didn't answer but I left a message, she didn't call me back. When he got home I told him & he got mad

Since you trust him, just trust him and teach him about safe sex. Otherwise, he will rebel by you being overprotective. My son will be 15 soon and it has not gone that far for him yet but I know when that time comes, I will continue to trust my son, I will have to realize and accept his actions. Sometimes, us moms have to take a chance and let go in a way. I hope this helps. Let them know you are there for him and you trust him. It will work out. Good luck to you!

If he's never given you a reason to not trust him, then don't make him feel like you don't trust him. I have 2 sons, 16 & 23, love them both dearly, but they are as different as night and day. The oldest can and has been a royal pain on a regular basis. The youngest is a Godsend, I think partially because he watched his older brother do so many stupid things, so he figured out he wasn't gonna be that irresponsible. I've had to handle them both differently, based on their individuality. I know it's hard, but you have to let your son have the freedom to make his own responsible choices; at least be less obvious in your checking up on him. It'll show him that you have confidence in his decisions and he'll do his best to not let you down. Best of luck to you! If only kids came with an owners manual............LOL
