| How much are your supervising your high school juniors who are dating? DS has a new girlfriend who has been spending a lot of time at our house. We’ve been letting them hang out in his room and our basement as long as the doors are left open - and I occasionally show up to make random conversation. It’s a weird line to walk. Just curious how others are handling this. Soon enough they’ll have licenses and a lot more freedom. We talk pretty openly about sex and relationships but this is a new thing to navigate. |

| Next time before they come over provide a large box of condoms - enough for them to make mistakes with - and several tubes of lube… be tactful, in a basket or something with a sweet note about romance. Better they start the right way now before winding up in the backseat of their car being watched by tramps somewhere in Loudon. |

| No to the bedroom. |

| It depends on how soon you are ok with being a grandma? Talk to the girls parents, not us. |

In our home, bedrooms (upstairs) are off limits. Main floor and basement (teen hang out space and future man-cave for my husband) are fine. If they are in the basement the door stays open, and, I usually make my way down there every once in a while.
The other rule is they are not permitted at our house or her house if no parent is home. |

This. Also, make sure you have the talk and provide condoms. |
