As a mom of a soon-to-be 16 year old male, I think you did Just Fine.
There just isn't a whole lot else to say other than I agree wholeheartedly with Els on this one.
(Insert story of how I was pregnant at 16 and my mom kicked me out after forcing me to get married.)
It's just what every child needs to learn on the way to truly being an adult. And many people who are older haven't made that transition yet. (Like GF's mom.)
