Should I tell my parents I want to go to his House?

Question

My friend asked me if I wanted to go over to his house for a sleepover. I said I would asked my mom. Well, I never did... I'm just afraid that she'll say no, your too young, or it's a school night, or some other excuse. There will be no one else at the sleepover just him and me. He also has awesome board games that I would like to play. How should I tell her this? I'm 12 so I'm guessing she'll say no, not with a boy.

I don't get it when people say your too "young" to have a sleepover with a boy? I mean, what is the right age??
I've been over to his house plenty of times and I know his parents very well.

Answer 1

You're 12, your parents HAVE to know where you are for your own safety, what if something happens to you? What if he perves on you while you're asleep? What if his FATHER perves on you while you are asleep?? Far fetched I know but your parents have reasons for their irrational behaviour.

Board games can be played in the park or in your home in the day time.

Please don't grow up too fast, your life is so precious, don't get yourself into a predicament, there's plenty of time to sleep over with boys when you're older ♥

Answer 2

Sweetheart, it sounds like your friend is trying to get you to do more than just sleep over. If he has board games that you would like to play, then there would be nothing wrong with you going over there to play....when someone else, preferrably another adult is there too. There are too many crazy things going on nowadays to trust a sleepover at age 12, with a boy. At that age, boys are just starting to recognize that their bodies respond to girls. Honey, you don't want to be this little boy's experiment.
Being friends is fine, but I think that I would agree with any concerned parent to not let you spend the night.
The fact that you are hesitant to ask your mother about it should be a good indicator that it is not the right thing to do.
Good luck and God bless.

Answer 3

Well, ask urself a few q's. DOes ur mom know him and his parents very well, if so, then she would probably trust u, but ask u a few questions or tell u stuff such as:
Wat r u guys gunna b doin?
Wat time r u guna b home/ and leave?
Will u guys b in his room the whole time?
I dont want u guys sleeping in the same room w/ eachother
and most importantly:
WHERE R HIS PAReNTS GUNNA B??
so make sure that u r ready 4 all of these questions.
But u have to make sure that u get all of these clear to ur mom. Or else she will say, "UR too young" or "Mayb another time" but, if she says that, u should try to convince 'er, and ask wat about your house?? She will feel in control and it may work out better 4 u this way.
U also have to make sure that u trust this boy. Like if he taks about getting laid and all these other sex-related comments or jokes, u DEFINITELY shouldnt b stayin over there-he may wanna c if he can do sumthin w/ u or jus experiment.
So good LUCK!!

Answer 4

That's a difficult one.

From the looks of things, you look like a very mature 12 year old, so you could just explain what you've said to us here - that you want to play his board games.

If she knows your friend and trusts him she'll be more inclined I think.

If you're in a car with her or something try saying 'Oh by the way mom, ____ asked me if I wanted to go to a sleepover at his this _____ night.'

Then see what her reaction is. She may be mostly fine about it, or she may need a little convincing.

You could always offer to ring her a few times during the night, and if your mom knows his mom she could also ask her to keep an eye on you both :).

Hope she lets you :) Good luck!

Answer 5

Ask your parents and if they say no dont sweat it you've got plenty of time for that later in life. Why cant you play board games somewhere like the park and why do you have to sleep over to play board games and why are his parents allowing a boy/girl sleepover any way . Parents dont usually approve of such a thing its too much temptaion for any healty young person and so it isnt really a good idea any way

Answer 6

My guess is she'll say no because 1.) your 12 and he's probably 12 or 13 or close to your age and around that time hormones start kicking in and who knows what could happen. 2.)If no one else is around and it's just you two your putting yourself in a bad situation I'm sure he's a nice guy and everything but just be careful. I think you should ask her and if she says yes then that's ok and if she says no then say ok thanks mom. So Good luck!

Answer 7

They will most likely say no and there is a reason. If you go back to school and this boy says you slept at his house think of the rumors nasty people can start. They will have your best interest in mind. If there were going to be others there then it may be different. I only tell you from experience! Good luck!

Answer 8

You are too young to have sleepovers alone with a boy. What are you going to do if he puts you into a situation that you can't handle?

Answer 9

Yes you should and also tell them to trust you.

What's wrong having a friend that happens to be the opposite gender?

Adults think too much from the belly down.

Hope you can go en enjoy your free time to play.

Answer 10

You must tell your parents- how old is the boy you are going to stay with?
If they stop you from going it is because they care about you and wouldn't put you in a situation of danger.
