Mother/Son showering/bathing
Hi, I have a query, that I find abnormal but may be normal. My girl friend showers in front of her 13 year old while he is bathing and thinks it is a normal practice. The son seems to think there is nothing wrong with it either. I don' t think its healthy, am I worried about nothing or should I be concerned?
Thanks
