DS is in Y9, he goes to an all boys school and has struggled to make many friends at school.
He also does multiple sports and has good friends from this, one who’s he’s started playing mixed doubles tennis with for fun. She has become his best friend. Then there is her best friend who is also his friend now. They all meet up outside school for sports etc.
For DS1s birthday he got to have 3 friends over for a sleepover and now DS wants the same, he would have 1 boy and 2 girls over if he had the friends he wanted. He asked if I’d book them an indoor tennis court to play together for an hour or 2, then maybe on the next day take them to the indoor ski centre near us. I really want to encourage these friendships but I’m not sure 13/14 year old girls and boys should be having a sleepover together. He claims that one of the girls has asked her dad and he said it’s fine as long as she’s not the only girl there.
We do technically have a guest room so I could say the girls have to sleep in there but I know what teens on sleepovers are like and for the most part they want to stay up late, watch films, game etc.
AIBU to suggest he just has the boy stay overnight but the girls can come for tennis, go out for dinner then go home and pick them up again the next day for skiing?
