Do you let your 15/16 yr olds stay over at mixed sleepovers?

DD is almost 16 - all her friends are 16 and (according to her) all stay at each other's houses at weekends. They all live in the same town, whereas we live in a village about 4 miles away. she's upset that I won't let her go, and says she feels left out because she's never allowed to go to things and I'm being unreasonable. Just thought I'd canvass a bit of opinion on here and see what sort of things you let your teenagers do. Thanks.

Dd 15 has a great group of friends, including 2 boys, who do a musical theatre group each week.
They have mixed sleepovers every half term. No problem. I know all the mums, there is lots of supervision and never been a problem. They all wear onesies, so I think the logistics of sex would be very difficult [ grin]

No..my DD is sensible and we have a great relationship, but I would never put her into that sort of tempting situation..sure they'll soon be adults blah, blah. blah, but whilst I can protect her I will and she is well aware of this and so is DS and both are absolutely fine with it, and from their great attitude it makes me confident that they'll be able to cope when they have grown up. (Which is not at 15 by the way!).
