[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 87511, member: 84"] Count me as old fashioned too. BUT I did let easy child's boyfriend sleep over. Very special circumstances...... he lived hours away and would come up to see her on the weekend. And on those nights Mama bear DID NOT sleep. [img]:rofl:[/img] Instead I made sure easy child stayed tucked into bed in her room with difficult child, and the b/f stayed put on the couch downstairs. Naive and stupid me, however, believed that HIS parents were doing the same on the very rare occasion easy child was allowed to go on short trips with them. (these kids were ages 12-16) Actually easy child was supposed to be sleeping in the parent's hotel room, while her b/f and his brother shared a room. easy child made it slip that it didn't work out that way. That ended the whole sleepover thing immediately. easy child was 14 at the time. I was hurt and angry. (at myself as much as the boy's parents) The boy's parents were good people. But they kept telling me they "trusted" the kids. PLEASE! Who trusts teens of the opposite sex to sleep in the same room??? If they ain't married, they don't get to stay. Period. That's been my motto since and I'm sticking to it! [/QUOTE]
