Overnight Co-Ed Party

[Anonymous]

My 15 yr old wants to go to an overnight co-ed party at the home of a classmate (who we don't know). I'm uncomfortable with this, but keep being told i'm the only one.

I'd like to get some feedback from other parents. Would you allow your sophomore to go? Party will be boys/girls, sophomores and juniors.

Who is supervising? Do you know the parents?

[Anonymous]

no no no
"uncomfortable"?
that's your word?
Mom, have the guts to say no
Other can say yes, and if it doesn't give them concern, a yes is fine.
As a parent you do not have to approve anything that worries you - not when it's optional - an not when it's your decision.

Bwah ha ha! HELL NO!

Tell her she can go to the party and you'll pick her up at midnight IF she provides you with the host's parent's phone numbers and you can confirm they'll be there. Let her talk you into 12:30 am.

Only if you're ok with with your child having sex.

Mom, which answer allows you to sleep better at night?
Not kidding, that's your answer.
You do not have to give up your peace of mind, not for this, not at this age.

Of course he's saying you are the only one!!!

Even if no one was getting very physical, I wouldn't want to be worrying about it.

[Anonymous]

Hell no. I can't believe this is even a question.

Evidently, this is actually a thing.

I once chaperoned a junior high dance. What I saw made me want to lock my daughter up until she turned 30.

No co ed sleepovers. What kind of parents allow that ?

[Anonymous]

Sure.

The best thing about an overnight coed party is that you start with 8 guests, and you leave with 4 bonus guests!

This is very common now. Parents are usually too drunk to pick up their kid at 12am so they are cool with it.

I would say no to the sleepover.

That being said, my good friend has a daughter, I have a son, we do vacations together, she brings a friend my son brings a friend... So basically a 1 week sleepover party. I worry there are sleep walkers.

No way! They can have slumber parties at college but not in high school.Who are these parents?

You're being lied to. Besides, what good could possibly come of this?
