My mom was great with me. She was and still is my best friend. I went to her for EVERYTHING. I would go on dates and my mom would be up waiting to hear if it was good or bad. Did he kiss you? Was it good? I didn't mind sharing. I was 17 when put on the pill. I felt comfortable enough to go to her and talk to her about it. She said she respected the way I came to her to tell her that I thought I was ready instead of just going out and doing it and regretting it later. I didn't get yelled at for it, I didn't get praised at for it, I was told both sides. My mom was def. the best mom and friend I could of asked for. I didn't go out and party. I've never smoked and I drank once after I got married. Kids will do whatever they want believe me. My brother is the complete opposite of me. My parents always had a little bit different of a relationship with him. Not their choice but his. They regret that they let him get so distant from them. He dropped out of high school, smokes, parties, gets in trouble all the time, doesn't have a job, you name it. Just don't let him get distant. It's great that he is like this now. My brother was about 16 when he got distant from my parents. You can't let them get by with everything, but I think you should meet them halfway. It will pay off in the long run.
