Would you let your 16 year old daughter sleep-over her best (boy-) friends house?

Question

My huband and I disagree on this issue.

Answer 1

Absolutely not. She is not old enough to make this decision nor
is she old enough to decide if its time to "explore" with him. Most
first times are with "friends" I also believe if you allow this you
are giving your approval of this kind of visitation for others. Tell
her she needs to be friends and staying the night with a boy is
not appropriate. Tell her it is okay to have a guy as a good
friend but you just don't want anything to jeopardize their
friendship. Explain to her that you are only looking out for her
best interest.

Answer 2

Actually, I personally don't see why not.
I happen to be a teenager myself, during the summer one of my guy friends slept over, my parents had set up the guest room for him. And everything went fine.
Of course if she's going to his house that might be a little different, you don't know how your daughters friends parents will set up sleeping arrangements. Perhaps talking to his parents would work out?!
But if all else fails do what you think is best.

Answer 3

You are asking if I would let my 16yr. old daughter sleep at her boy-friends house, My answer would be NO! because why does she want to sleep over at his house. We all know that temptation is always there, and if we do not protect our kids from getting too cozy with the opposite sex, you never know what would happen. I know it is going to be hard in telling your daughter that you do not approve of that situation, and I hope that she is the understanding type of girl. We, Parents have it rough when it comes to applying rules that our kids need to follow, but, when they are grownup, and married they are going to appreciate what you did for them. I know I've been there. Good luck, and I hope everything turns out alright.

Answer 4

you guys are just jumping to conclusions are you guys sure other wont be there and best friend I'm very sure you know this boy, his attitudes, his parents, his personality I'm a 13 year old answering this and using logic in this stop jumping to conclusions

and one more thing u spelled husband wrong proving some reasonable doubt that you have a daughter or husband at all

Answer 5

Absolutely not. No way. Not even if his parent's were home.
My sister has 9 kids. She gave birth to her 1st at 14.
(That was after Mom let her sleep over at her best friends house.
He was a guy. They swore they weren't involved that way...
which, of course, they were said the DNA test )

Answer 6

how long have they been best friends??? do u for any reason think that they like each other more than just as friends. i am as well a teenager with a guy as a best friend. we both know that we r just friends and nothing more. but sometimes, if a girl just starts being best friends with this guy, then they like each other in a different way. if ur daughter is honest with u, then go for it, but if not, then no. i tell my mom whjo i like and all of that good stuff, so find out who she does like and if it's not that guy, then let her go.

Answer 7

I think that allowing this is just inviting trouble. A sixteen year old boy or girl needs very clear boundaries on what is acceptable and nonacceptable behaviour. A pregnant sixteen year old would cause a lot more disagreements between the two of you.

Answer 8

i'm sixteen and my mum we could my guy friends sleep over as long as they sleep on the settee and he or she exams up on us each hour or so, with all admire putting a digital camera interior the room is slightly far and it will teach your daughter which you do not have confidence her.

Answer 9

if they're just friends then you have to trust her. But I had a friend who was a boy when i was in high school and we were for sure sleeping together...however, every case is different!

Answer 10

Absolutely NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! Where's the wisdom in that? You are her mother, (not her homey). She may be mad at first, but will respect you later.
