To not let my 5 year old daughter share a room with a male friend

[Ohbehave1]

My partner and I disagree and I don't know if I am being over cautious. We are normally a fairly easy going family but when talking to my partner about one of my daughters friends coming round for a sleepover we disagreed

I didn't think it right that a male friend shares a room with my 5 year old daughter but my partner says that if they are in different beds it's ok and that they are too young to think anything of it.

Am I being over protective?

Yabvu what do you think they will do, jump on each other and have sex , they are 5 not 15!

I think you might be being a bit over protective - sorry.

I think that the worst that will happen is that they will stay awake late into the night giggling and messing around.

How old is the friend?

A male adult friend or a five year old boy?

Two 5 year olds?
I honestly hope you have medically diagnosed anxiety issues because if not.....I can't say what I think as I'd get deleted

YABU!
maybe have a think about why this worries you so much?

Totally no problem for them to share a room.

What do you think will happen exactly?

Is the male 5 too? If so then yes you are being a bit OTT!

My 16 year old ds has mostly female friends and has managed to keep his hands off every one of them over the years. I am sure a 5 year old is safe to enjoy sharing a room with a friend!!

I think 2 5 year old children sharing a bedroom is absouletly fine! I find it strange that anyone would think differently

If they are both 5, you are being slightly bonkers!

Unless your daughters friend is 20 YABU.

And a bit odd!

Do you mean a child? My DD & DS share a room.

YABU!!

Op you are very twisted to think this is strange!

Is the make friend also 5?? Your thread title is a bit sensationalist; it reads deliberately? as though the friend is an adult friend of yours, not your dd's.
If he is 5, you're being ridiculous.

Two small children would be fine, although they might not sleep much.

Five year olds sharing is not a problem.

As PPs have said, your biggest problem is likely to be the jumping about and shrieking at midnight.

Why are you describing a boy as a male?

You're being ridiculous.

My son only had girl 'friends' when he was growing up. He has always shared bedrooms with them... and sometimes beds.

YABrathersilly.

youre being very weird. Theyre 5, not 15
