[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First boyfriend at 15 - not a lot of rules, bc they were friends first for many months and hung out together just them sometimes. Once I figured out they were dating it was kinda too late to do any open door stuff - but I’m not really that kind of parent. His parents didn’t let them stay there when they weren’t home, but I found out later they found ways around that. At our house one of us was almost always home so I didn’t make a rule.

I was on text terms with his parents and we would chat at pick up, but nothing beyond that which I recommend (my best friend gets too chummy with the other parents and it always goes sideways).

You probably won’t keep them from having sex (mine did and I don’t think based on texts  I read later I could have stopped them) but I do recommend you don’t give in to sleepovers even months later. You say you won’t know but I know a lot of parents that give in to that.[/quote]

Sleepovers at 15?! Holy cow[/quote]

Right? I was really taken aback at a few mom friends of mine who gave in to that real quick. And every single one of these relationships turned into train wrecks, mostly for the girls. It’s too intense for this age - like the previous post about the families vacationing together ?? The inevitable break ups when kids are this enmeshed are traumatizing  [/quote]
