My 14 yr old might have gotten his gf pregnant, do I tell her parents?
Update:
So learning more about the situation, they had sex 8 days ago so it’s likely too early to test anyway. They used protection and he was too nervous to even finish so the likelihood of pregnancy is very low. We’ve agreed that from now on when she’s over, they won’t be spending unsupervised time together as much. I talked with my son about it and he said he knew he wasn’t ready and he is not willing to take this risk again. He is very freaked out by the whole situation. She does have another test and will take it again in a week because by then she’ll be 14+ days from the event.
🤦♀️ I am such a careful parent and have always had a great relationship with my kids. We talk openly about anything and everything. I am surprised by this and how naive I was thinking that they weren’t having sex…I assumed they were doing stuff but not this far.
I did talk with her and her reasoning for not telling her mom is pretty simple, they don’t get along and spend zero time together so there’s little to no trust there.
My plan at this point is to have a conversation with the mom and tell her “the kids are approaching their one year anniversary and spend a lot of time unsupervised. I’m concerned that they might be thinking they’re ready for the next step” and if she gives push back on it, I’m totally planning to just lie and say “well I walked in on them the other day and they looked pretty close to it”. I don’t know if that’s the right thing to do but that’s my plan. I really appreciate everyone’s input so far and welcome any more input or criticism on it.
Hello,
My 14 year old and his gf have been together for almost a year. They spend time together every week, go to school together, and recently decided they were ready for sex. I have talked to my son about sex before, when he was 13 and more recently. He bought condoms and they used protection. I wasn’t aware that they thought they were ready for this step. Anyway, fast forward to tonight. She mentioned that she was late for her period but is sometimes late. He asked if I could buy her a pregnancy test. I’ll save the details of that conversion and what I said. Long story short, I bought the test (well a two pack actually). She wouldn’t take the test at our house, which is ok. We dropped her off at home like we normally do. My question is, what is my responsibility to her parents right now? Should I be telling her parents what they’ve confided in me? I feel very uncomfortable having bought her a test. She did tell me that she told her mom she was late and her mom said it can be normal and sometimes stress can trigger it. I don’t think her mom knows that my son and her daughter have had sex. I’m not sure if I need to tell her or how to handle this situation.
