Are boy/girl sleepover parties OK, and should I let teenage boys & girls sleep in the same room?
Hi - i quess this is about trust and about age of the kids. Are your worst fears that the kids might go past 1st base and [censored] is the outcome?
I only have younger kids but oh course hope they grow up to be boys who would be well behave well in such a situation but then as a christain i will be teaching them about waiting to have [censored] within marriage. If my kids reject my beliefs then i can't expect them to live by my rules thats unfair so some middle ground needs to be made ie no [censored] under 16.
So.... in thinking about allowing any sleepover of mixed sexes i would need to take all factors into account and make a decision and any ground rules based on those factors.
what are you thinking about doing?
I would probably say they need to sleep in separate rooms, just keeps life a bit simpler. It's amazing how many people you can fit in one house, and I can't imagine a situation where you could not make that arrangement in some form.
Obvioulsy they might all fall asleep infront of the tv.. but then that isn't really a problem!
Are 16+ in the "sleep over" category anyway?
