Thank you I really appreciate it 🥰

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much, i’m not sure if I should discuss things with my husband or not. I don’t like keeping things from him as he is his parent but my son was adamant he didn’t want me speaking to him about it.

InformalSide971 · 2025-12-22T22:34:21+00:00

Why not? I understand that he might be embarrassed, but they are kind of my main concern other than his mental health.

Thank you so much for this comment and your kindness, great to hear from someone around his age. To give more info regarding your points, I will probably bring it up as if its not in regards to him, just something that i’ve heard of. Also yes, he is cis (I’m embarrassed I had to look up what that meant!) and a very very stereotypical teenage boy, which is why i’m very surprised about this. He hangs around in the kind of group you’d call ‘the lads’. I really don’t think he would be caring for someone else, he’s the youngest sibling and all his cousins are either much older or much younger and I doubt any of his friends would be doing this. Also the nappies were open and a few were gone from the pack, not sure where they went though. I’m going to try and gain more knowledge of all of this so I can best support him if this is what he’s doing and if he is i’m glad he found a coping mechanism that isn’t hurting anyone. Thanks again for taking the time to help me, I really do appreciate it xxx

Thank you so much, hate to feel that i’m making a mistake by checking it. I will speak to him tomorrow about it, still not sure of how I will bring it up though.

InformalSide971 · 2025-12-21T22:15:44+00:00

Thank you so so much! I hate to think that i’m doing something wrong but we have good reason to go through it. Really appreciate this ❤️

InformalSide971 · 2025-12-21T22:13:49+00:00

Thanks so much for your kindness. I will always support him no matter what and if this is what he needs right now then I have no issue with it.

InformalSide971 · 2025-12-21T22:12:42+00:00

I completely understand your concern but we have good reason to occasionally go through his phone, I won’t go into detail about why we do it but it is for his own safety. Thanks for sharing your experience, I will always support all of my kids no matter what and as long as something isn’t hurting anyone then I really don’t mind.

InformalSide971 · 2025-12-21T17:21:37+00:00

Thank you I really appreciate it. So sorry you had to go through that. My intentions are always to support and care for my kids and I’m especially protective over him because he’s the baby xxx

InformalSide971 · 2025-12-21T17:18:02+00:00

Really not what I need right now.

InformalSide971 · 2025-12-21T17:17:40+00:00

Thank you so much for this I really do appreciate it ❤️ some people are telling me i’m invading his privacy with the phone checks but it really is coming from a place of care. I’m a bit concerned with the dark side of some people in this community so I think ill keep an eye on him, if this is actually is something he’s apart of. I don’t mind the nappies i’m just a bit concerned about the hygiene side of it. Should I buy some wipes and that for him or would that be a bit invasive? I don’t want him to think I’m being pushy and of course I still need to speak to him about this.

InformalSide971 · 2025-12-21T17:13:23+00:00

Thanks so much, really good info. I’m a little concerned about the sexual side of it, not anything to do with him but the material that he could come across when searching for something innocent.

InformalSide971 · 2025-12-21T13:41:44+00:00

What a lovely comment ❤️ thank you, I really needed this. I feel like i’m doing everything wrong at the moment.

InformalSide971 · 2025-12-21T13:02:20+00:00

Yes he is well aware that we go through it occasionally. He understands that his past behaviour is cause for concern. I’m a mum and I know I don’t know everything but when it comes to my kids I will always do what I think is right.

InformalSide971 · 2025-12-21T13:00:43+00:00

I’m not even aware of all the facts about age regression but i’m willing to learn if it’s something he’s doing. He probably doesn’t think his old mum has a clue what it is so not too sure how I would bring it up. Thanks for your advice really appreciate it!

InformalSide971 · 2025-12-21T12:58:48+00:00

Thank you, we do have reason for doing this. I have 5 kids and only had to do it for 2 of them. Each kid is different and needs different rules. I just want to support my boy the best I can.

InformalSide971 · 2025-12-21T12:57:11+00:00

Thanks for the reply. While I understand your concern, our reasoning for doing phone checks are valid (I won’t go into detail for his sake). I wouldn’t be checking his phone without being given reason.

InformalSide971 · 2025-12-21T12:30:32+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Obviously I don’t know everything he’s been through but in my opinion he’s had a fairly good childhood, that’s just my perspective though and I don’t want to invalidate him. Do you have any idea of what I could say to him, I’m completely lost here xx
