This is not really an AIBU relating to myself, but rather about a conversation I overhead two of my colleagues having last year.
They are both parents of older teenagers.
One of them said that he would never allow his teenagers to have their boyfriend / girlfriend spend the night at his house. He said he found it totally inappropriate.
The other one was adamant that it's better as you know where they are and that they are in a safe environment.
Now in my head I agree with the liberal opinion, it's safer to have them in your house. If they are intimate with each other it's better that they do it at your house rather than in a car or in a park.
But something inside me says, and that might just be my conservative upbringing, that it's inappropriate.
My child is only a few months old and I don't have to worry about that just yet.
I'm just wondering what other mumsnetters with teenagers think of this? How are you handling the situation?
Do you agree with opinion A (don't allow sleepovers - it's inappropriate) or opinion B (allow sleepovers - it's safer)?
