Hi
Where do you stand with regard to mix sex, largish group, sleepovers at 14/15/16 years old? No couples, all friends.
DS is in a large group of friends ( 7 boys , 5 girls). All lovely children. His friends regularly have parties and due to some living a distance away ( his schools attracts from several towns) quite often this is an overnight party/sleep over. Not necessarily split sexes sleeping arrangements- mainly due to no set bedtime and them all just falling asleep where they are.
DS has now asked to host a party, and I said about having single sex rooms for sleeping. He asked why as other parents weren't bothered and they're all just friends. It just doesn't sit comfortably, particularly as I'm not in contact with some parents to ask if they're happy with the arrangement. He seemed offended that i assume they'd get up to stuff they shouldn't.
Am I being unreasonable about this? Should I just trust them as they're all such great friends? I just feel responsible for the children under our roof. Or do I assume that if a parent has let their child stay then they're happy with the arrangement?
They're year 10, so 15.
