annnnnnnnnnnnd now I have to talk to DS1's girlfriend's mother about previously mentioned body part pictures.
have you heard the song Hate my Life?
well, that is me.
Ugh Kris, that is awkward...but at least you care enough to have that conversation. And better she (the girlfriend) learns a lesson now and not it some other instance when the whole school gets a hold of similiar pics.
I'm not looking forward to the tween-teen years. at all.
well, unfortunately it was my child's body part which was the subject of this text message
Kris, I know this is horrific, but I had to admit, that I snorted a little laugh when I read that. I think it was the smily that did it.
ETA: Im feeling bad about this comment, and hope it wasnt taken the wrong way, but in the "I hope you are able to laugh about it later." Crap. I want to delete it, but Im afraid its been read.
Scroll down and read April's response. Far more appropriate.

I only found out b/c I saw a IM chat he was having with someone that was old that mentioned his body part and the fact that he had sent a pic.
I found out while he was out fishing with his dad.
I sent him a text and told him ATT contacted me about inappropriate images being sent from his phone. Yeah, I'm a liar.
He was very apologetic and admitted it straight up. We discussed it.
I had no idea the mother saw it until just a bit ago. I told him he could send a FB message to his gf's mom and ask her if I could take him and gf to movies on wednesday. She responded flat out NO. he says well, when can I see her? She responds well, since you sent her a picture of your ****** I don't think you can see her. She asked him if his mother knew. he said yes. she said have your mom call me and maybe we can work something out.
ugh.
oh dear. Why is she having this convo with him on facebook? So mature.
Just remember Kris, you seem to be the only adult in the room, so, assure her you were shocked and appalled and have dealt with it. Then let her rant and whatever, but dont take the bait.
Not that you asked my advice. But you might end up finding it tempting to want to call her daughter a slut and you should refrain from going there. lol.
please let us know how she reacts. hopefully the gf's mom will understand that this isn't reflective of john's character and that this will be a learning experience for him.
Kris, sorry you had to deal with that but I really do see an up side here. I think it is great that you could talk to your ds and what's even greater is that he didn't get all puffy chest cranky turd on you (or at least calmed down after and listened). I have to warn you though, you have now opened the door and when he gets to be my ds's age, he may tell you things you don't want or need to know. That's when I find it handy to revert back to childhood and say "la, la, la, la, I can't hear you".
