my dd1 is going on a sleepover tonight to a boy's house...they're both 11

[cutekids]

please tell me they're just kids and i'm being stupid to think they'd "get up" to anything.....
They are "just mates" anyway.
it will be okay won't it?

Have you spoken to the boys mother and are they sharing a room?

I wouldn't bat an eyelid at this if they are not sharing a room

if they are....well, I would be uncomfortable with that

i know the boy's mother and i know she will be sleeping in her dd's room....well,that's what my dd told me anyway.

They are just kids and you are being stupid. There, do you feel better now?

It will all be fine. Relax and enjoy the peace.

If you are truly worried that they might have sex then you need to make sure they aren't given the opportunity.

so is my daughter aged 12

twill be fine

My DD had a sleepover with a male friend in the holidays - they were both 11 and slept in the same room. They've known each other for years, we're very close to his family, they have had several sleepovers before and are completely relaxed in each other's company.

At some point they, or we, might feel it's no longer appropriate to share a room. It depends entirely on the children and their stage of development.

I assume she didn't get pregnant then?

Sorry, I just know that my mother must have thought this a million times when I was growing up.

my MIL got pregnant at 12 ...
