12 year old and puberty

Hi everyone

I am Stacy and I am a single mom to a 12 year old son. I can't begin to explain things and this is why I joined this forum. It seems it's pretty busy and I am sure I will get some feedback.


Now I am not a troll or playing games but need to explain the past 2 events that took place as to why I need some support here. This may sound like a joke but I can promise everyone that I am real. I am a single mom, lost my husband 5 years ago to a car accident and I miss him dearly.

The morning after Christmas, Dec 26th, I was cleaning up from Christmas and I stripped his bed sheets and I noticed a whitish stain on his bedding. I believe my son had a wet dream which is part of puberty but what if he is also masturbating and it wasn't a wet dream. I am not at all ready to have this conversation with my son.

Now New Years Eve,, we were in a rush to head to a friends party. I told my son to take a shower first and then I will get ready. My son showered, got dressed and ofcourse played his playstation 3 until the very last minute. When I went into the shower, I noticed my son ejaculation on the side of the bathtub. I was furious and besides myself as this is something I don't need to see . I was very upset at him but didn't embarrasse him , actually it took some time to even speak to him.


I haven't said anything yet because I am like speechless.. This is where I am looking for support...

My kids are girls and much younger, so I have no personal experience with this situation.  If you feel uncomfortable speaking to him about it, does he have a grandpa or uncle who can?  What he's doing is perfectly normal and natural, however, leaving a nasty mess is not.  He is going to have to learn to clean up after himself and apparently, needs someone to tell him this.   Welcome to Baby U and good luck.

I have teenage boys and have thankfully not had to encounter this. I agree with Lenora and I would have an adult male that your son feels comfortable with have a talk with your son. Or maybe you could buy and book on the subject and lay it on his bed for him? Good luck and welcome to BBU!
