At what age would you let your children's boyfriends/girlfriends to sleep over?

I haven’t read through all the replies but my fairly strict parents started allowing this when I was 17 and a senior in high school, probably the summer before leaving for college. We weren’t technically supposed to bed share but I’d usually wander up to my room at around 5 am lol. I think by college it was fine. I am now a dr so I turned out okay.

Cautious with this one. You really risk alienating your kid and their partner this way. You're setting youself up in the perfect position of common enemy and tt's SO strict it runs the risk of serious rebellion. Like, sure we will get married! But you're not going to be there and f*ck off it you ever think you're ever going to see your grandkids! kind of rebellion. Telling a 30 year old she can't sleep under the same roof as a boyfriend of 4 years is pretty ludicrous.

Parents who don’t want their teens/young adults sleeping together in their home does not mean those parents are prudes. People have offered a lot of different reasons for why they are not comfortable with the situation, and most of them had nothing to do with Pre-marital sex. People have different value systems - it’s really not that hard to understand.

Different poster from whom you're responding to. Basic reasoning ability? LOL

From the perspective of those of us calling you prudes, those 'different value systems' and 'different reasons offered' are just different paths you follow to being prudish in your attitude towards your children's life.

"It's really not that hard to understand" LOL at the condescending BS filler language added there instead of substance, to shut the conversation.
