[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No.  That's not appropriate for some that age and makes a relationship more adult than is appropriate.[/quote]

Or maybe you are treating them as more juvenile than appropriate.  18 is a fully legal adult. It didn’t used to be that uncommon for people to marry at 18 and it’s never been uncommon for people to have sex at 18. [/quote]

[b]But it’s always been uncommon to have a “sleepover” at your parents’ house with your boyfriend while in high school.  [/b]

It would be different if she came home from college and wanted him to come with- assuming he did not live in your town.

Also different if he was in college and it was under a 2 hr drive- I’d like her make an over night trip there.  [/quote]

Did you know that Amish people allow teens who are dating ("stepping out") to share a bed in the girl's house?  They have a board that fits between the head and footboards and goes down the middle of the bed, but the barrier is only about a foot high, and no adults supervise the room.  The boy and girl get to have privacy all night in her bed.

I grew up in rural Pennsylvania where a lot of Amish people live, and my parents had friends who were ex-Amish, and had grown up in the community before leaving.  This was a few different people who all confirmed the sharing a bed issue.
