Argh, MY HOUSE IS A DISASTER!!
I got the monitor at the repair shop and they called to let me know they have to buy a manual for it so it will be a couple extra weeks before I get it back. My confidence is waning. I wonder how much this is all going to cost. I was told around $150 which is good. The monitor cost $2300 new and is still around $4-500 plus shipping on ebay so having it fixed for $150 is my best option.
My son just started 7th grade. He was so happy yesterday he said mom, there are a whole bunch of other Goth kids at my school. And I said, see, I told you. Finally his gorgeous long black hair is paying off and apparently getting him some serious girl attention. So we had a talk. It was not "the talk" because he got that when he was like 5, but I gave him the "sex and dating ethics" talk. Discussed how you don't make out with a girl and then brag to everyone about it. And you don't fuck a girl who really likes you and then ditch her the next day and when a girl says stop you FUCKING STOP and don't berate her, insult her or otherwise treat her badly for making a choice about her own body. And so on and so forth. Just the basics on how to treat another person you become romantically involved with. I hope it is a few years before he needs to put this information into practice, but you never know, so I didn't want him to be unprepared.
And someday my house will be finished and my monitor will come back and I will get this paint out from under my fingernails and my giant paint fuck up on the cabinet I designed and built will dry enough for me to sand it down and redo it with not-stale paint For now, I have a brand new mattress waiting for me to steal its virginity, so Im off to bed.

Honestly, the only reason I haven't tossed it yet is that I'm a little attached to it. I'm typing this on its replacement, but...Well, you know how first loves are. This was the first monitor I really loved.
Feel free to ridicule me for saying that, BTW.

Also, I gotta say, there's no WAY I woulda felt comfortable talking with my mom about that at that age. So he obviously really trusts you. Kudos.

Hope it won't cost you much.
Hey, cool your kid gets to hang out with others like him. I was a loner at that age. I didn't quite fit in with the other kids.
My parents didn't talk to me about sex. I had sex education class at 6th grade. This was at a catholic school. I remember the books had a chemical smell and were pink with black lettering and the pages were plastic covered. It was very clinical.
