DD's in her bedroom with a 16 year old boy and has shut the door...

[Bonsoir]

He arrived two hours ago and for the first hour and a half she stropped around as he and I were talking (he's a friend's son who has come to talk to me about universities in the UK) and she felt left out.

She then disappeared and reappeared dressed in her ballet tutu .

And then she asked whether she couldn't show him round our flat.

Shall I go and listen at the door???

There's always that big pile of laundry that you need to take in there NOW.

How old is she?

I'd say listening at the bedroom door may backfire in terms of ongoing relationship. It's too underhand. Perhaps something more obvious - shout to ask if they want tea / biscuits / curry / anything else you can think of. If no response bang on the door to ask. And / or clean the bathroom or some other adjacent room. Just make her aware of your presence rather than sneaking around.

She's only wee isn't she?

If she is in a tutu, I reckon she must be about 7!

Isn't she 5?

He'll be desperately trying to escape in a very polite way

Just made me think of the scene in High Society where Grace Kelly's sister does a balletic turn to gain attention

Like mother, like daughter, eh?

Very good Bonsoir

I expect he is getting the guided tour of teddies/dolls/pictures or whatever your DD likes best

Oh, she's little?!! So he's being held hostage and possibly made to wear a ballet tutu? Let him suffer in that case!!

How old is she?

I think she is 5.

if she isn't 5 but older(teen) open the door.
ds had a 14 year old GF when he was 16. the door stayed open

If she's 5 I would definitely let the boy suffer! It may just put him off having unprotected sex when he's at uni!!

I originally thought we were talking two teenagers "at it"...
