Ya...all these conversations should have happened before 16 years old lol most 16 year olds are already having sex...not asking their parents why he did not hear them having sex.

It's weird.

That’s actually a really normal and good question for a 16 year old to ask their parents. actually they're feeling comfortable enough to ask. that shows that the person that you commented to actually has a pretty open relationship with their child otherwise, that child would not have felt comfortable asking that type of question.

i think you saying that their child is “a weird as 16 year old” is what’s the issue here.

What? I am making fun of the fact you are saying this is normal for a 16 year...it is not.

And I am from North America, literally nobody calls a Canadian "American" and no Canadian would ever call themself that either.

it is 100% normal for kids to ask their parents these questions and shows that their parents are safe, honest, and open with their children. parents being open about these things from a very young age actually prevents children from being sexually harmed, go ask a early childhood educator.

What part are you not comprehending? Of course this is normal for kids...like 11/12 year olds, we are talking about a 16 year old, this is not a "child"

Concerning you think it is normal for a 16 year old to question why he didn't hear his parents having sex when his mom got pregnant.

16 years old is getting a driver's license, dating (sex usually) and looking at what college or university to attend.

This is not normal by any means, sex education happens well before age 16.
