Pud, I've sometimes got to practically drag my S13 to the front door to say good-bye to his dad when he leaves after his weekly visit. Glad you've got a good relationship with your son. I doubt mine would have had the same conversation with H as he had with me - seems one of his school mates gave him a website to look up, but my son actually asked me if I'd heard of it before he went and looked it up. Good job too, totally inappropriate for a 13 year old. I complimented him on being sensible enough to check with me first (after checking the browser history of course), and then immediately upgraded the parental controls.

S13 still wants to trick or treat this year. He's been told that he's really too old to go, but as he'll be with a group of friends, I'm letting him go this last time. I've got to come up with a costume for myself as well - we do a Halloween potluck at work, including a costume competition. H hasn't dressed up for the costume party they run at the bar he works out in all the time he's worked there - don't know if he will this year, and I don't really care either.
