I just found this out. There is a family up the street from me. They only have one child and she is 17 years old. The parents let the girl's boyfriend spend the night there with her. Am I out of touch? Is this the norm? Just blew me away when I found this out. 1|1|Uh, no, I would not speculate that this is the norm...|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|16:32:11|04/03/2010|

my boyfriend (now DH) lived an hour away and after a few months our parents let us sleep at each other houses. But seperate bedrooms at all times. It was just safer than him leaving at 11:00 on a friday and coming back over Saturday am. We were young and "in LOVE" and hating being apart from each other. We are much better people when were are together 3|3|awhile back..my sons(17) gf...had him ask if she could spend the night........my husband almost blew a gasket..LOL...i couldnt believe|couponsnsamples|cpsnsamples@aol.com|20:08:50|04/03/2010|
her mom ,,, would even think of letting her.......but of course she knew nothing was gonna happen in my house......but still i would never have let my teenage daughter stay at her bf house.......my husband said....... _________ NO....its not happening here...LOL 4|4|Um, well, actually back when I was 17, my boyfriend (now my DH) would stay the night with me.|jen_ron|bugsmamma@earthlink.net|21:13:27|04/03/2010|
We dated for about 6 monthes before that started happening. My parents are actually the ones who invited him to stay the first time, he lived about 40 mins away on the base and he wouldnt leave the house until 2 or 3 in the morning and they worried about him getting into an accident. We did share a bed, but for the first month he wouldnt even take off his shirt, let alone get really comfy. lol But honestly, my high school years weren't "normal" as far as parental guideance went. Dad really was never home because he was battling cancer and Mom was either with him or at work so I was pretty much on my own. My brother (1 year older) is the kind thats live and let live so he never tried to boss me. But the funny thing is, his then girlfriend now ex-wife was never allowed to sleep over but she only lived a block away. lol

I think this is not the norm, but things have changed a lot over the years. Maybe the 17 year old and her boyfriend have been dating all through high school and plan to get married after they graduate anyway. He could be part of the family at this point and it's no big deal.
My sister and her boyfriend dated for several years and when they stayed at my sisters house for a while, they stayed in my nieces room. My neice was like 5 or 6 at the time. I thought this was wrong because it gives my neice the impression that it's ok to sleep with your boyfriend before you are married. I think my sister should have insisted he sleep on the couch while staying in their house because of the child. But if you look at it now... my sister and him are now married, they had just turned 18 when they moved in with her and by the time they were 19 they were married and had a child (she got pregnant after they had been engaged for a while). They both live on their own now and raise their child and work hard to provide for him.
I had a friend who was 16 and her mother allowed her to marry a man in his 20's -- he was at least 24 years old, it could have been 27 though. She was not pregnant and they gave their consent.
I also had a friend who was allowed to have her boyfriend live with her at 14 (and share the same bed). She broke up with him and the next boyfriend whom she barely knew also got to stay. This young girl was pregnant at 14 years old (the new boyfriend was the father). Not a surprise.
I for one will ask that while my kids are under my roof that the boyfriend can stay if he wishes to sleep in her brothers room or the living room. Until they are married. Which makes it a little hard to explain to them why Dad and I lived together for 10 years before getting married.... under their own roof -- their own rules... under my roof... my rules.
