Would you allow your young teen (around 13-15 yrs. old) to spend the night with their boyfriend/girlfriend?

No I personally wouldn’t. At that age I dont find any reason for them to spend the night when they have the day to go do things.

Depends on what kind of relationship you have with your teen because if you have a close relationship with them, they are going to be more likely to make better decisions. I don’t have kids, but I think that I probably would have the confidence that my kid would make the right choices.

I think that parenting is like a leash. If it’s too long or absent, the dog could run away and get run over by a car, but if it’s too short, then they’re gonna choke and take their own measures to sever that leash themselves.

You gotta teach them as good as you can and then give them some freedom. Whether or not this particular situation is that freedom is up to the parents.

No. They’re still growing up, they will claim they know what they’re getting into and what they’re doing. They shouldn’t be thinking about having a boyfriend at that age, I’d want them to focus on school and spending time with friends and family.

no! definately not! too young to spend the night at a boyfriend or a girlfriend. doesnt matter how close you are to your kid.. a mother should always have discipline and rules. now if your child was 17 then i would prob say ok. but a 13 or 15 year old no. there not mature enough to spend the nite at each others house. at least a 17 year old knows what there doing. thats what i thynk.

Not at that age.

Not a chance in hell. Imo, having a close relationship with your children doesnt mean you have to let their boyfriends or girlfriends spend the night. Personally, until my child is legally an adult (18) someone of the opposite sex sleeping over is innapropriate and unneccasary. I feel that parents who allow it are irresponsible - but thats my opinion. They have their whole lives to live and sleep in the same bed with their partners, they wont be doing it as a child under my roof. Yes, i know kids have sex and you cant stop them, i was a teen myself once upon a time. I fully plan on providing my teens with condoms and birth control to be safe and teaching them about safe sex and its importance and consequences. Just because they are having sex doesnt mean they should be allowed to share a bed or room in my home over night. Again, they are children, not adults.

I am a 14 year old girl, and I wouldn’t suggest it.

My 14 year old sister at age 13 didn’t even sleep over at her boyfriends and I think you’ve already figured out what I’m about to say… Yes they had sex, but as soon as she got home she told our mother.

But the relationship with the boy was different, they dated for over 10 months.

If you do let your daughter/son sleep over at there boyfriend/girlfriends house just be careful of the consequences.

Not at all, even if they had been dating for 2 years. I wouldn’t want to be the parent responsible for underaged sex.

My parents trust me to and I am only fourteen. They told me it is all about trust and when they have a reason not to trust me I would not be allowed at his house unless during the day and vise versa.

He actually spent the night with me last night and I am going to his house tonight. And one more thing ,what business does a 13-15 year old have doing anything besides kissing.?

Many 13-15 year olds are having sex now days. Most of it’s unprotected. I think parents need to prevent it as much as possible.

I mean I have a 13 year old sister , and all I can say is I hope she doesn’t make that descision. Yes I do agree we need to prevent it, but the more a parent tries to keep their kid from something, the more the kid rebels and more than likely is going to do it. My parents sat me down and told me that it was my choice and that if I wanted to there was really nothing they could do about it , although they did say that they would rather me not, but if I was going to I should at least have a form of protection. I listened and I am proud to say I am still a virgin.!

I would never let that happen. Even if you trust he/she that doesn’t mean there isn’t going to be tempetation for them to do something like have sex. Why would anyone risk their teens getting pregnant or get someone pregnant?. I am 18 and I have never even been to a Guys house, I respect my parents and myself, I think that younger teens nowadays think they are responsible and think their adults when their not.

i wanna say yes but at the same time i wanna say no, i guess it depends. i would make them sleep in seperate rooms or if they were in the same room they cant be in the bed togeteher or i would just check in on them every 30 min and it depends on the relationship if they are both like imature and innocent kids who dont even know anything about sex i would let them.

oops sorry for answering i looked up after i answerd and i saw it said mainly for parents and adults

i mean i no im 14 yrs old but i would never let my kids spend the night at there boyfriend/girlfriends house. becuase what i notice at school is that all the people aer having sex and getting prego.

It’s fine. I said it was mainly for parents/adults…but anyone can answer. :) All opinions are welcome.

as long as you have a clear understanding with your kid and they fully understand as to why you have concerns in this day and age it is better to talk about sex with your child rather than walk around the issue so clear and concise communication is the key

That’s stupid.

not unless i was in the same room all night with a big spotlight and allot of coffee!
