[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alright, here's one-

my son is 16, his girlfriend is 16.  They've been dating for 4 years.  Girlfriend's parents are divorced, lives with mom for the past year or so.  Dad lives in another town.  Mom is often not around, girlfriend and mom don't really get along.  We love girlfriend to death, even though her family has red flags all over it, she's a great kid and spends a lot of time at our house.

Son asks us at midnight one saturday if she can sleep over.  She had a huge fight with mom and was alone in her apartment, had been for several days.  Girlfriend was really having a rough time.  Son said he'd sleep on the couch or in the basement.

Would you allow your son's 16 year old girlfriend sleepover, without her parent's consent?[/quote]

Yes, as long as it is clear there will be no breaking house rules.  I think the fact that she is a girl you love totally trumps all.  She also has to leave a note telling her mom where she is, and if things go awry, you stand up for the choice you made.[/quote]

Ive never understood the rules about people dating not sleeping under the same roof.  My parents were very strict, but a boyfriend was more than welcome to crash at our house -- in the guest room.  I'll be happy to do the same for my kid.  Don't abuse my trust and we have no problem.  But the other parents need to be informed.[/quote]
