[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why not? if they are being careful and her parents are ok with it I don't understand why you would say no. I was allowed to stay at my BF's house at 16. The only difference is I'm from Europe. I do think Americans are hypocrites about this. "If they want to have sex they will find a way" = ridiculous.[/quote]

Cultural context.  You slept over in the context of your country with its cultural norms and expectations.  There are different ones here.[/quote]

The ones here are dumb.

DP, one who said better at home than in backseats. I am from Eastern Europe and grew up in a very strict family. Yet, my mom gave me condoms, and there is implied "if you don't tell us, we wont' ask," attitude even then in my country. How can somebody here suggest "they can find a way to do it somewhere else," isn't that just forcing your child to make bad decisions because you are not letting them grow up? If they want they will find a way? That is like a permission to do whatever the heck they want, as long as you, parents don't know about it. What I also found odd when I moved here, is that high school girls I worked with at a daycare told me they had sex as early as 13, none after 16 first time, in 90s. Yet, in my country almost no 16 year old that I knew had sex during my early teen years, there seems to be an idea that Europeans in general are promiscuous at an early age, I have witnessed exact opposite. I was appalled to hear that girls admitted to having sex at 13. When we were 13, we were seriously just kids in 80s in my country. Not even the most promiscuous girls or boys in my whole school had sex before 16, 17. I can't speak for all of Europe clearly. As I wrote, I wouldn't allow a sleepover, but I would and have allowed hanging out for several hours at my house.[/quote]
