[quote=Anonymous]good lord, Americans are so twisted when it comes to sex. This is actually my problem when I think of what we'll do when the kids are teens. I'm not worried about our kids if they talk to us and we allow them to have a committed boyfriend/girlfriend sleep over. I'm worried about the other parents! So I pictured maybe calling the girlfriend/boyfriend's parents to make sure they agree first. But what if it's someone with the mindset of the people posting here? Ack! Don't look forward to that conversation.

fwiw, when we visited a friend in Europe, she allowed the boyfriend of her sixteen-year-old to sleep over. I was a little taken aback. But not horrified. Just made me start thinking about where I stand. I do think that if you allow a sleepover at home, the kids will be less likely to have sex they regret, more likely to use birth control, and more likely to be in a committed relationship (ie, less likely to get STDs).

I definitely hope my kids are more relaxed about sex and intimacy than I was.[/quote]
