Hi can anyone advise me
May daughter aged 17 has a boyfriend and he always comes here she never goes to his
He drives a ped so it is probably easier but I just feel he is always here
I offer lifts to his but she always wants to hang out here
I feel it's too much
I avespoke to her about it but she just reacts that it's her home too

I think they are entitled to some privacy and it would be wrong to insist on them being in family rooms all the time. Besides it would be counterintuitive since you would have even less privacy. But it wouldn't be unreasonable to limit the time he stays over. Just because things have been a certain way so far,bit doesn't mean you can't change them.
My dad is 17 and I limit the amount of time his gf stays because he is doing A levels and gets more work done when she isn't here.

As a teenager I preferred being at home with my boyfriends, and we tended to be downstairs in the living room, my parents are quite welcoming and always let me get on with it. But they were quite strict on bedrooms, i.e. The door HAD to be open if we were in there, separate beds for the first 6 months.
I think it's down to your bounderies and what you accept.
