[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 171998, member: 1991"] OK Heather. You qualified that the way I would. I do agree, letting a girlfriend/boyfriend sleep over in the same bed and ASSUMING they're already active - that is asking for trouble and definitely sending the wrong message. Especially as young as that. And I agree - just letting them because you don't want to be the ogre is also wrong. A parent is a parent, not a best buddy (necessarily). It can be lonely at the top! But past a certain point - we stopped fighting them, we stopped spending the night (one parent or the other taking turns) sleeping on the threshhold of the girls' bedroom door. Marg [/QUOTE]
