[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 267317, member: 3907"] Sue, throw my vote in the pile! I don't think you're being a dinosaur, or unreasonable. I also agree that taking someone in when they have nowhere else to go is a whole different ball of wax from having a boyfriend or girlfriend stay over...um...just for fun. My difficult child-brother used to have his GFs stay over all the time from when he was about 14. Sometimes I would come home from dance classes or whatever to find them IN MY BED!!! My difficult child-parents did nothing about it. They thought it was "cute", so I was left to deal with it myself (I used to just heave up the mattress and dump them onto the floor, say GET OUT, and then change the sheets, but YEESH!) We were allowed to go away for long weekends at friends' cottages, have big parties when difficult child-parents were out of town, and pretty-much run loose all the time. I can't tell you how many "sleepovers" took place in my parents' basement, but no one was making any efforts to control their hormones. I often got in my car and took off to the 24-hour diner downtown, just to get away from it. So, no, I don't think you're being unreasonable at all. Trinity [/QUOTE]
