My DD is 15 and she has a boyfriend who is 16. He used to live near but moved to London with his dad.
His dad has kicked him out and he's asked to come and stay with us. Initially I thought this was a one night thing but after talking to him it sounds like he wants to stay until he sorts something out.
In reality I don't want him staying for one night let alone temporarily. However I feel bad leaving a 16 year old alone without his parents.
I'm surely not unreasonable to say no am I?

I am pleased there appears to be a constructive outcome all round.

I think your daughter will respect you for showing that your family unit is sacred , & you were not putting the whole family in a dodgy situation re housing
Whilst she is playing the 15 year old "I want/know it all" card
You cant save all the waifs in the world, & her being stroppy & rude is not going to help her cause

Glad that she is behaving better. Best wishes for your new home.

It might be that she feels relieved that you have got her off the hook there.
