sleep overs

[New Dawn]

Ok I was just talking about this in another thread but thought you girls with teens might be the better ones to ask so here goes...

When do you think its ok for sleep over with boyfriend/girlfriends? As you can see I am not a mother off a teen yet but I was talking about this the other day with some mums and tjought it was intrusting that they all thought it was ok for there girls to have a boy stay the night at their house but when i asked if they would let their son's stay the night at a girls house they said no.. So someone has to give the mother of the DS or the mother of DD.. What do you think...

I know I hate the idea of letting my DD's staying over at a boys house but I also dont like the idea of my DS at a girls house, but do feel that if its going to happen I would prefur for it to happen at home where I know they are "safe"..

I dont really care about what age you think is right as everyone is different I would hope my kids boys and girls would wait but know this is not the norm so am hopeing they are atleast 16/17 yrs...

love to hear your thoughts....

am hopeing they are atleast 16/17 yrs...l.

Me too!!! We won't be having any co-ed sleepovers until, I am hoping, they have finished high school.

Not till she moves out.

Why the rush anyway?

i guess it depends on each situation... i couldnt say untill Krystal is a teenager herself!
my brother is 15, and has sleepovers at girls place's often - just friends. sometimes he's had to sleep in a seperate room, othertimes he was on a matress on the floor etc i guess it depends!!

i dont think i had any boyfriends sleep over untill Dp came to stay (we met @ 18, and moved out together @ 21) but i'd had male friends sleep over through high school.. my best friend from 15-17 was a guy, i used to sleep in his bed at his place.. all we did was sleep!

sorry im no help!

I didnt have a male stay over till i was 21!!!! (which was the man i eventulaly married)

I dont know whether it was cause mum and dad didnt like ex or cause they thought i was to young never argued as at 17 (nearly) 18 i was i living in halls of residence at uni and you could have anyone stay in your room and no one cared!

I have let DD's boyfriend stay once when DH was away!!The bf slept on the sofa bed in the playroom though. I am not comfortbale with him sleeping in her room (DH isn't comfortable with him sleeping in her house!)
BTW she is 16.
