Comment on HELP! How do I help educate my son about his body when I know nothing about boys??

  Tbh if he masturbates with headphones in the same house as his mother, it’s an important lesson to learn to always keep one ear open for potential knocks. 🤭

  Maybe warn him about that so he can avoid the potential trauma

  Emphatically no.

  Text him or something.

  Maybe put a “doorbell” with a light in his room that he can see.

    Might go low-tech and just stick my arm in with a flashlight or something.

      Actually this is probably something good to discuss with him directly. Brainstorming ways of grabbing his attention in a way that respects his privacy together goes a long way toward earning good will, even if you make a mistake later on. Sometimes brain just stops working. My mom has always been good about respecting my privacy, but one day she just opened my door, something she never made a habit of doing and started talking… Right in the middle of some self-care.

      As embarrassed as I was, we were laughing about it the day after. She was excited to tell me something nice is all, and I could trust her apology afterward because of our rapport. How could I stay mad?

      Does his door have a lock?

      I think maybe it should.
