to not allow mixed sleepovers?

[seedlessgrape]

My DD (12 going on 21) has asked if three friends, two of whom are boys, can come for a sleepover, but I've said no to the boys. It's not that I don't trust her or think that they'll get up to anything inappropriate, I just don't feel comfortable, especially as I've not yet met the boys.

I might have considered it if my house was big enough to separate the boys from the girls but it's not and therefore they would all have to sleep on the sofa or in sleeping bags.

I'm all for encouraging my DD to have male and female friends but boys and girls sleeping over (albeit innocently) doesn't sit well with me. I'm sure this is something which will be broached again in the future and I would therefore welcome any comments.

Thanks :-)

Oh and I know that's not a very healthy attitude and, seriously, I am aware of what 12 year olds talk about.....

I think 12 yo's talk about an awful lot more than they actually do.

YANBU. The first sexual experience I had was at a mixed sleepover.

Some people have no shame when it comes to sex, and those people are randy teenagers.
