Well, most of the problem has blown over.

I'm not pushing him to date exclusively, I'm just saying he can't act like he is with them until he is on an exclusive basis. I don't care if he sees a bunch of girls, but they won't be coming over and hanging on him and feeding him popcorn and laying thier head on his shoulder and all the rest of this crap until they are on a serious enough level that they are exclusive.

He went to Marcia's yesterday, had a good time, and I picked him up. They "didn't get a chance" to talk to her parents about their relationship, and I didn't say anything to him, but I wasn't happy about that. I kept my mouth shut and listened to how his time over there went.

So far, so good. I told him last week that I've never been the parent of a 17 year old before, this is my first time, and so if it seems like I'm making the rules up as I go along, it's because I am. I told him we'll deal with stuff as it comes. He seemed to think that reasonable.
