[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]how did you handle boyfriends/girlfriends?

My DD will be coming home in May and she has a boyfriend. For prior visits he stayed in the guest room but they were in college. Now they are 22 yo. The idea of them shacking up in my house makes me uncomfortable, not that I'm opposed to them having sex. Ack!

If you want your DD to continue to be part of your life (and living in your place to save $$), you let her boyfriend visit and stay in same room. She's an adult and should be treated as such.  You also don't want to pressure them to get married (just so they can stay at your place in the same room)[/quote]

I disagree with this advice.  We would let our AD's girlfriend visit our house of course, but she would stay in the guest room.  Our DS just assumed that would be the case, and didn't even ask whether his girlfriend would stay in his room or the guest room. Why does the PP think that the DD would not be part of the parents' lives anymore just if they said you'd need to stay in the guest room?
