Sleepover with girlfriend

10 replies

My ds (14) has been seeing his girlfriend (16) for about a 1.5 years. He now wants to start having sleepovers either at our house or his girlfriends. I’m a bit uncomfortable with the age gap anyway and feel even more concerned about sleepovers. Any thoughts?

Just to clarify - they would be in separate rooms.

I have a thought.
No

Nope. He's underage.

@iamtheoneandonlyyy No was my instant thought too. But the gf’s parents and a few in RL seem to think it’s ok.

No, he doesn't need to sleep over unless they live 5 hours apart. He is 14. It doesn't matter what age she is. Why does he need to sleep there? They are not going to be sleeping, separate rooms my arse.

When Ds was in year 10 a girl was pregnant and the Dad was in year 9. Just saying it happened right on our doorstep and yes she did keep the baby. My friend is a midwife and was on the post-natal ward where a 16 year old girl had given birth to twins. The father was also 16.

On another note, he had a girlfriend at 12? No, just no.

FFS ! No. Whats a 14 year old girl doing going out with 12.5 year old?

Not on my watch.

Grin why stay, if separate rooms
Can't understand a 16yo girl with 14yo boy as girls mature quicker at that age.
My ds is 13 and I would not like him with a 15yo.
