It is not illegal for appropriately consenting teens to have sex. [/quote]

How are you going to approve appropriate consent?[/quote]

I have frequent and open talks with my children on consent, safety, trust, healthy relationships, birth control, privacy, etc. They get to make that choice for themselves. [/quote]

But you can't prove that appropriate consent was given and it becomes your problem if someone says they were raped in your home and you knew what was going on.[/quote]

Exactly. If under 18, they cannot consent. 
My view is these types of serious relationships should only occur when they can support themselves and their partner financially and emotionally. That simply isn’t possible if under 18, and hardly likely if under 21. Legally, they aren’t adults unless both over 18. At that point, go get yourselves your own place to live. If you can’t afford it, then wait until you can. [/quote]

True.

Under 18 they are considered infants under the law.

An infant cannot grant consent.  You know what that means.[/quote]
