Previous Episode: EPISODE 27: OUR SON’S SECRET GIRLFRIEND

Next Episode: EPISODE 29: “YOU BEGGED ME TO BE A MOTHER”

I asked our 10-year-old son Nico about his secret girlfriend that everyone knew about except me. I bribed him with Nutella and did it before I had to drop him off at school, I figured some sugar and limited time would get him to tell me quickly. His response was priceless and I hope I am showing him that I want to keep the line of communication open without judgement. I am not great at this parenting thing, I think I thought a magical switch would turn on and I would just be the perfect parent, nope. Just like a marriage takes work every day, so does parenting; some days are better than others and, at this point we are living one day at a time. In this episode we discuss what our son finally admitted to me about the girlfriend AND what he wants to do next, spoiler alert, he wants us to meet her! That is a little too real for us right now and I am not sure where to go with that request; I told him it was something we can discuss further in the future. Yes, supposedly her parents know about him and she is allowed to have a boyfriend which makes me feel a little bit better about the situation. Also in this episode, we discuss what the older boys tried to discuss with Capricorn during puberty that actually made him VERY uncomfortable.
