[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 700262, member: 16024"] No, I never let my kids have overnights with the opposite sex, and they never would have even thought to ask if they could. Lil, I can't believe you had parents ask! I missed out on that one, while parenting my olders. However, when I moved in with my hubby, he was allowing his son (oldest D C) to have his girlfriend spend the night. D C was 17 at the time, I think. Not sure if it happened earlier. It wasn't something I supported, but didn't feel it was any of my business. He said later that he was wrong and that he wouldn't do it again. I think he mostly allowed it hoping that it would keep D C in school if he gave in to his wishes. That "parenting out of fear" thing. Difficult Child pretty much ran the house at that point. [/QUOTE]
