I worry about him getting into trouble(hes a good kid and rings me to say where he is) hes had lots of chats re birds and bees (you get the drift and I'm not getting a hive ) I find the whole thing one big worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey Lucy Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I feel for you. Mine aren't there yet as they're only 10 and 6 but I know I'll be feeling just like you in a few years time. I'm sure it's entirely natural. You have to trust them x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janepie33 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 1. You are jealous because your baby boy has transferd his affections and you are not his favourite 'girl' any more. 2.You worry because you are a mum and that's your job. 3. YES!! It will get better. I have a 19 year old boy and the first time his girlfriend went out clothes shopping with him I felt very sad as someone else had taken my place. As you said, ES is a good kid and he knows how important it is to let you know where he is. Sounds like you are a great mum and now your hard work is paying off. You will watch your son blossom into a confident young man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Echo Janiepie, its scary but it does get better - ES now is almost 20 and still comes over to see me before going out with lastest girlfriend - you'll always be his best friend - just think one day some other lucky lady will have the joys of picking up his smelly socks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Ditto what Tiggy and Janiepie said, it is a weird feeling but you get used to them growing up and going off and doing their own things eventually. We're constantly going through the ups and downs of young love with our eldest two, its natural. You'll get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 Thanks I do trust him but the girls are far more grown up - and yes i'm jealous- shes young pretty and I'm menopausal with all my bits heading south and nearly 50 - but as I keep telling myself 50 is the new 30 and at her age I hated my body (think ironing board, braces and awful hair ) now I'm curvy and despite moaning about my caesarian belly happy with my body (ok I'd change a few bits if funds we there but they arent so there) - thanks I am glad i am not alone - i find girls a total mystery being a mum of 2 boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Ahh I think you have what I call 'Youth envy'. It hit me at Easter time when i was at a music event and there were all very young talented musicians with the world at their feet. My children have the most adorable young male piano teachers and they are soooo talented i am i am just starting Grade 2 piano at 43!

Yorkshire Pudding Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Oh, to have the combined blessings of a young body with none of the effects of gravity, and the experience of my age! On reflection I quite like having experience, so will have to live with the 40+ body... ES is 11 and about to go to high school. He has a lovely bunch of friends, and we can see the first signs of teenager-dom looming amongst them all. Fortunately, they all reacted to their recent sex ed lessons with something not unlike horror - and I hope he stays that way for a long time yet. 'Minging' was their description! I do sympathise, I don't know how I'm going to feel when the first 'significant other' looms on his horizons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Lock him in his room! That's what I plan to do to my DD when she gets too interested in boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Lock him in his room! That's what I plan to do to my DD when she gets too interested in boys. but then I'd have to listen to 1970s rock full blast - he's discovered his Dad record collection & thinks it's so theres hope for us yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I have 19 yr old twin boys and at some point your son probably will do something that will worry you but DON'T WORRY it will be OK in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
