Just wanted some opinions on the following situation. My dd who has just turned 17 has been going out with her boyfriend (who is six months older) for just over a year. We have a close relationship and I have discussed sex and contraception. She is quite a young 17 and to my knowledge they have not yet had sex as she wanted to wait until she felt ready. She knows she can speak to me about anything and I have left them to enjoy their relationship without interfering. He treats her well and they first and foremost have a lovely friendship.
My dilemma is that his parents are going away when lockdown lifts for a long weekend and my dds bf is not going away with them. They have never had a sleepover at either house before, but his mum likes my dd and has said that if my dd wants to stay over at their house whilst they are away then she can. I have agreed to this in principle, as he only lives locally and she can always come home if she’s not happy!! It’s not as if they’re heading off for a week abroad in the sun. However, I know her dad will be against the idea and potentially will say she can’t go. My thoughts are that they if he has a free house for three days then they can potentially do anything they want during the day so what’s the harm in her staying the night! My Dh is a typical man when it comes to his dd! He doesn’t really want to think of her growing up. Any opinions on how you would handle this and would you let your dd stay even if her dad did not give his consent?
