Studying For Midterms


My son has been studying hard for his midterm exams. So far, he has done well on his tests. My daughter has had some tests as well, but it seems that there is a more regimented exam schedule in high school. After he finished all of the stress of the week, he called his girlfriend--using my phone after 9. I can tell that he really cares for this girl--talking to her really makes him happy. Since he did so well on his exams, and since he didn't run up a big phone bill after all, I gladly let him call her and talk for awhile. I think it may be time for him to have another father-son talk with his dad--if this is getting serious, he needs some more guidance and advice about relationships and dating. I'm not sure, but he may be falling in love--at least as much as you can be at 15. Still, I remember being "in love" at this age--and then falling OUT of love quickly within a few months. I'm not sure exactly what path this is taking, but I do know that talking to this girl after a long week of exams seems to make him feel better--and that's fine with me!
