[quote=Anonymous]My freshman son and senior daughter both have newish relationships. The freshman is on a much tighter leash, but we welcome him and gf to hang out at our house on the weekends as much as the want. (And they go to her house some weekends as well).

They are not allowed to hang out at any house where a parent is not present. They will generally watch a movie together on the couch and eat dinner. They are both excellent students, busy with their own sports and activities, and they spend time with their own friends, too, so feels healthy and fine to me. We’ve met the other parents casually and they seem to be on the same page. We verify by text each time they get together that a parent will be home with them.

With HS seniors who can drive, she basically has a curfew and that’s it. She can decide how to spend her free time and we have not yet met the parents. Boyfriend is welcome at our house anytime, though.

Essentially, I want my kids to feel comfortable bringing their significant others around. And they do. It’s kind of fun. It’s nice to see that they’ve both chosen really decent people to be in relationships with, and they both appear to have healthy attitudes and boundaries.[/quote]
