My 16-yr-old daughter wants me to let her 17-yr-old boyfriend stay over occasionally. What should I do?

Answer 1

I'm guessing you know the answer to this question...but you just want to hear it from a bunch of people to be sure! Am I right? I would say you should NOT let your 16 year old daughter have her boyfriend stay over occasionaly. ABSOLUTELY NOT. NO WAY!! You are the parent, you set the rules!

Answer 2

I was sixteen once, and I remember it clearly. My parents wouldn't even let me have a boyfriend at that age! You are the parent and if you don't like the idea (which you might not since it could involve some unwanted sexual interaction) it is up to you to enforce it. Sure, she'll whine and cry and whine and maybe throw a fit, but she is still young and YOUR child. When you mean stay over, did you mean overnight??? I think perhaps she could have him over to the hosue for dinner, etc. if the two are supervised. They are still both children with hormones, and unless you know that your daughter can be fully trusted, I wouldn't recommend him spending the night. But perhaps I only think this way because my parents were very strict with me. It really is up to you and what you think your comfort levels are concerning your own child. Good luck!

Answer 3

What should you do? Seriously? You obviously say no. There is no reason to even have a discussion about it. You are the parent. It is your house. There is no reason for your daughter's bf to be staying over at your home. He shouldn't be there past about 11 pm anyway. Why does your daughter think this is remotely acceptable? If she doesn't like it, too bad. You are her parent, not her best friend.

Answer 4

No. there is no reason that she'd want to sleep over at her boyfriends living house different then to have sex all evening. heavily regardless of the reality that. she will be able to spend all day with him, from morning to nighttime and then come living house and sleep in her own mattress. She shouldn't ought to sleep over at his living house until eventually "mandatory" until eventually marriage. yet at 18 she will be able to be legally an individual and probable wont even ask you. would not be counted how lengthy they have been jointly- 3 weeks or 5 years. At 16 and 17 they are far too immature and youthful. At that age i theory each boy replaced into the only, yet truly...that would not ensue.

Answer 5

Um, no way, as a 16 year old male i know if i was over at a girls house for the night that i was in a relationship with, id have sex with her in a heartbeat if she wanted to. In my state 16 is legal, you may not be able to stop it, but you can sure as hell not give them a better place to have it.

Answer 6

Absolutely not! What do the boyfriend's parents think of this? At sixteen, I would never have disrepected my parents by sleeping with my boyfriend in their home. Your daughter may be sexually active, and you may be fine with that, but you don't have to help her by providing a place for her to have sex! Also, their ages dictate that the act will be considered statuatory rape and you would be held partially responsible if anyone cries foul play - be it your daughter, her boyfriend, or even his parents!

Answer 7

I am a 16 yr old girl and would never even think that would be okay. I have sex with my bf but I know that my parents would never allow that.

Answer 8

In her room? Or just at your house due to a late date or big event or bad weather?

For the first . .. are you kidding? Better make sure this girl is on the pill.

For the second, talk to his mom. I think this is a good idea if you can keep them off the streets from late night driving. Just be sure to set the rules for when he has to leave next day.

Answer 9

You are her mother you need to tell her that is not going to happen not even occasionally,,at that age they are going to get into situations on their own why should you be the one providing the place for something to happen....I wasn't even allowed to have my bedroom door closed when my boyfriend was over at that age.

Answer 10

let him stay show some trust. if she does stuff with him and you specifically told her not to then say no next time. if you dont trust she'll start to hate you and not in a little way. my dad doesnt trust me and its emotionally scaring. i hate him. every time i say i love you i want to throw up. i realize that most of these people said no but think about your daughter. you know she can be responsible so giver her the chance to be. just one chance.
