Teen Guys: Physical Examinations
Does anyone's mom or dad go and sit in on your physicals? If so, how old are you, and how do you feel about that. My mom still comes in with but I don't know any other guys whose moms do that anymore.

Not me. She's usually in the waiting room, cause I like some privacy so I can talk about stuff.
My mother would take me to all my pediatrician appointments and sit in most of the time, but I don't remember her being in the exam room during the physical exam past taking my vitals, height, and weight. I do remember when I was 14 and needed a school physical in a new town w/a brand-new doctor. After the vitals he blatantly told my mother to go back into the waiting room, explaining he thought I'd be more comfortable without her in the room.
He was right.
