How to deal with my son going through puberty as a single mother?

It’s really not that complicated. Masturbation is normal as long as it’s not excessive.

Other than that, he’s going to get taller, grow hair, need to shave and his voice will deepen. Nothing much mom needs to do there.

Sex is a big deal, so it’s even BETTER that you’re a single mom. Explain sex from a woman’s point of view. Reinforce all the time how important it is to respect a woman and listen to her signals. Don’t push her. Especially don’t listen to an uncle’s stories of conquest. That’s the last thing you need.

Logistically, if he’s going out and sex is even potentially on the menu, he HAS to wear a condom. He’s too young and immature to ruin three lives: his, hers and the baby’s.

Men grow up stupid. They simply mature later. Force feed him the need to “Respect” - again and again and again.

You’ll do just fine. Fathers suck at the birds and bees conversations anyway. 👍🏻
