My child has asked wife and I to find something to do on Sunday.

This weekend, my 18-year-old asked that we not be home when their partner visits. Both are of appropriate age, and we’ve had every important conversation under the sun. We've made sure they have protection, and honestly, we have a great relationship with our kid—but wow, this is awkward. 😅Their partner is super embarrassed about the situation, so we’re trying to tread as lightly as possible, which feels right. It’s their first time, and I get how big that is for both of them.I’m not really sure what I'm asking. Maybe just—has anyone else navigated this? Is it normal to be supportive in this way? Beyond pretending like it never happened around their partner, is there anything else we should or shouldn’t do?Also, it’s not realistic to clear out every time they want privacy. After this, is it okay to just stay home and let them have their space?I'd love to hear your thoughts if you've been through something similar! #ParentingYoungAdults #LettingGo #TrustAndRespect #NavigatingGrowth #Parenting
