OMG I’ve had one of the most embarrassing moments of my parenting career! When I got home from work today I saw that the puppy had gotten into the trash. I started picking up the debris and I found a condom.
I jumped to the conclusion that it belonged to my youngest son (will be 18 in a couple weeks). My husband was at work so I sent him a text message letting him know what was going on. My son was at his girlfriends so I called him and told him to come home.
When he got home I tried to remain calm and discuss the issue with him. I went into the morals he was raised with, the fact that his girlfriend is only 16 that I was hurt and angry that he didn’t talk to us. General venting. He genuinely did not seem to know what I was talking about.
In the mean time my husband texted me back. “A condom fell out of the drawer before I left for work this morning. I couldn’t find it and I was running late. Look for the wrapper, if you can’t find it we’ll have to bring the dog to the vet.”
