guy-girl sleepover? i really need some help, it could really save me a lot of time of arguing with my parents.?

Okay, so I am a 16 year old girl and my best friend is 17. His parents are going away for a week and we thought maybe he could stay at my house. His other choice, would be with his druggie friends, which are the worst influence ever.

He, himself, is not a bad kid (doesn't smoke, drink, isn't sexually active). I am not a bad kid either, considering I've never done any of that stuff. I am not looking for sexual relations and neither is he, but find it best for him to stay with us, because he is like part of the family already. He takes out the garbage, buys groceries, lets my pets out whenever my mom asks him too, which is quite often. He is also over here most of the time, anyway. We hang out about everyday. He's very shy and doesn't have many good friends, the others make bad decisions.

My mom's concern is that she doesn't want the responsibility of him, and thinks a guy-girl sleepover at this age is the "principle" of her reasoning, which makes her "uncomfortable". She knows we'd never do anything bad, and understands that. My dad even said that I could sleep with my mom during the time of the stay. Therefore, nothing bad would be going on at night. During the day, we hang out directly after school, so nothing would change. Yet, she says my 14 year old sister's friend, from a different state, might come to spend the summer with her. How is this not more responsibility than my friend spending one week if that with us? It'd be only like 5 days, anyways?

His parents would be okay with it, and so I don't see the big problem. Please help??

Update:

he would sleep on the couch in our 2nd upstairs (we have two 2nd stories, which need two seperate staircases to access) my room is up the 1st set of stairs, with my sister's and 2 other rooms, then theres my parent's room on the bottom floor, and where he would be staying up the 2nd flight of stairs. You'd have to pass my parent's room to reach where he'd stay.

Update 2:

^ the room he'd stay in is the bonus room.

Also, he's Canadian, and has only known English for four years. His parents are not completely fluent. All his family lives in Quebec, so they can't stay with him.

Update 3:

he said he would vacuum, dust, clean, so whatever she said if he could stay. He'd wake up to his phone alarm, make his own breakfast/dinner, drive to school himself.

    tell her exactly what you told us,

    it shows us how responsible you are,

    also if she is concerned about you guys sharing a room

    if you sister is ok with it you and her can share a room and he can have hers to himself

    Try to tell your parents all these great things about him let his parents meet yours. Just tell your parents he could sleep on your couch or in a guest room maybe.

    Just tell them, you could technically be living alone with him right now, and it will be under their supervision. You could recommend separate beds and everything. Maybe even tell your Mum she can buy you new big PJ's if she is worrying about you wearing skimpy ones.

    First I want to say it sounds like you have other feelings for him. Keep asking them. And it might just be a little weird for them to in take a oppisite gender child.

    maybe you should ask the parents of your friend to speak directly with your parents.

    have him talk to them with you. compromise.

    maybe trade something for your parents to let him stay.

    like chores, or something, i dunno.

    or tell them he's gay, HAHA! JUST KIDDING!
