sleep overs

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

IMO, there's no need for it unless the boyf/girlf lives more than an hour away. Then seperate rooms. Obviously if they are married or maybe engaged I'll rethink, but just boyf/girlf then no. No sleeping over and no sleeping out.

Why do I feel like this? Well, I was never allowed to sleep with anyone until I was 22 and less than a year off being married. That was sleeping, not doing anything else! DH was in the guest room before that. My sister was sleeping (et cetera) with her boyf and him sleeping round at ours when she was 15. (2 years between us, not 7 btw.) Oh, but I did sleep with a male best mate from about 14 when I used to sneak out at night, or tell my mum I was at a girlfriend's place, but that was sleeping, nothing else. Because I had to get out the house one way or the other and doing it alive always seemed the best option where possible. All-nighters with the boys were always more fun than girly ones anyway.

My god i didn't even realise this was something I would need to think about...
My answer would be No to sleeping out but *maybe* to having someone stay. that goes for both the boys & girls in my family.
I would have been 15 when I was staying at my boyfriends place & I am pretty sure Mum had to be clued on to what was going on as he was 21 & lived on his own. Wow, I have never really thought that hard about that. My Mum was pretty cool!
But me staying overnight had more to do with some issues going on at home then it did with me wanting to stay out. But thats another post!

Let's face it, they're gonna do it! The question we really have to ask is "Are we going to make it easy or difficult for them?".

I think it's just another individual parenting decision.

I am not making it "hard" for my daughter - just setting decent standards.

i was a tom boy so i only had guy friends. from about 15 i would stay at their house sometimes but most of the time they would all stay at my place. mum was kool with it she knew we were all only friends.
When i started going out with DH he had to stay in the spare room but when i stayed at his house we always slept inteh same room and bed. i was 17 at the time. just b4 i turned 18 he was aloud to sleep in my bed at my house.
