Dear Queenie,
My teenage grandchildren behave more like lovers than brother and sister. They hold hands, cuddle up with each other to watch TV, follow each other around and touch each other all the time.
Their parents don’t seem to notice, but everyone else does and we think it is very strange and not very acceptable, and we can’t help wondering what goes on when the kids are alone together while their parents are at work.
I think we should speak to their parents about this, but my wife doesn’t want to say anything to them for fear of causing a falling-out in the family.
Queenie, what do you say?—Worried grandfather
Dear Grandfather,
I think teenage children, especially those of opposite sexes, need careful supervision because the developing of their bodies and hormones can get them into serious trouble without it, even if they are brother and sister.
Someone should have a serious talk with the parents – if not you or your wife, some other family member or friend who has seen what is going on, or even a school counsellor.
