As a parent, or if you were a parent, would you let your teenage son or daughter spend overnights at their boyfriend or girlfriend's house?

1 Answer

Answer :

You ask this a lot (see “Related” ——->). ;-) It never seemed to come up when my daughter was a teen, so I dodged whatever bullets of judgement would have been shot off by friends and family. As a general rule, though, I didn’t let her spend the night with families that I didn’t know pretty well. Sometimes she was mildly annoyed by that, but it never became a problem for us. I taught her how to behave responsibly, I assumed that she would. Mostly it would depend on the teen. Mine was a very reliable person, but my nephew (whom I adore, by the way), was not someone who ever thought things through and had to be monitored. Now, he’s an outstanding husband and father. If your daughter is at all like mine, you’ll have an easier time with things like this. Good luck!
