Is it the norm for 16 year olds to have mixed sleepovers? I am being told by dd and ds that dh and I are completely out of touch as we don't feel comfortable with this. Ds (16) has been invited to a sleepover at a friend's house tomorrow (female friend) along with one other girl and also one of his male friends. Apparently the parents will be there and everyone else is fine with this and they will all be sleeping in the same room. Ds goes to a boys school so we don't know the girls at all. One of his other school friends has cried off as he says he is revising (GCSEs very soon) and he can't get there. I think he has been told he is not allowed to go.
Dh and I think we are fairly liberal. We get that young people have sex lives and dd (19) sleeps in the spare room in the double bed with her boyfriend when he comes to stay. I am prepared to be told I am being unreasonable about this, so please tell me if I am!
