My son faked his girlfriend's pregnancy.

I'm not sure if this is a funny story or not, but I look back on it and laugh sometimes. My son turned 17 a week ago. When he was 16 last year he got into a serious relationship with a girl. While I understand that 16 is the age of consent, I also still feel like it's too young. Plus I was a teen parent. So when I found his condoms I took them and put him on a 3 week punishment. I also didn't allow them to go on dates anymore or text over the phone, only call. About two months after that my son came home from school looking distraught. I asked him what's wrong and he showed me a picture of his girlfriend holding a "positive" pregnancy test (It was fake lol) I broke down and asked my son why he let this happen. He said he was sorry, then he told me he's dropping out of school to get another job and help his girlfriend raise the baby. I begged him not to even think of that decision and to wait a couple more months because she might decide to get an abortion. Then my son started chuckling and was like "Did you know there's pregnant women who sell positive pregnancy tests on Ebay? It's crazy" He got the lecture of his LIFE for doing that to me, like he was shaking at the end.

But guys.. I gave him his condoms back and let them go on dates again instantly. They're still together and are always open with me about what they're doing, where they wanna go, etc. Only thing I disapproved of was them wanting a hotel room for prom. No way Jose! 😂
