should i let my 18 year old sleep in the same room with her bf?

My daughter has recently approached me asking if i would be comfortable to let her and her boyfriend sleep in the same room once they both turn 18. They are both 18 in october within 2 days of each other and have known each other for 11 years and have been going out for about a year now, i trust her and i trust him. I know that they are both sexually active as she has told me this. (they have only been active with each other). I have ensured that she is on the pill and they use contraception and we have had the "sex talk". Once they are 18 they are technically legal, but im not sure i feel comfortable. At the moment he stays over twice a week in separate rooms (my son's room is in between theirs). She has told me that the reason she wants to stay in the same room is just to cuddle and feel "all warm and cozy". Im starting to think that there isnt much reason not to let them, because they have sex whether they are in the same room or not, they are protected, they are in love, and just want to be with each other . So what should i do, should i start letting them?

    If you say you trust them then yes. Im 17 and my mum is so strict on things like this and my dad is even more so! But they let my boyfriend sleep in my room because they trust me and they know I am not going to do anything unsuitable. So you should let them. Trust me coming from a teenager they wont be doing anything whilst your home! Thats waayyy to cringy haha! Hope this helped:)

    it's totally up to you. It sounds as if your daughter has been very sensible with this, and you've kept communication lines open. Perhaps you could chat with her about your feelings, and why you're still uncertain. If you decide that you're not comfortable with them sleeping in the same room when they're not married, I'm sure she'll accept your decision. On the other hand, there doesn't seem to be any logic to not allowing it. So really, it depends whether you want to follow your heart or your head, and nobody else can tell you which matters the most.

    Yes you should reason if they already had sex what else would they possible do???

    So if you trust them, show them that you do as what i mean is to have em sleep together

    But just still talk it over(the safety and such)

    And you should be glad hes only visiting her for a couple of days

    Also since they known each other 11 years he shouldnt hurt her if thats what youre worried about

    Lemon, I think you have answered your own question here. They aren't being irresponsible, they have known each other for a long time and they are having sex anyway - whether they are in your house or not. At 18 they are almost adults, and your daughter has acted like an adult by talking to you about this stuff. I would never in a million years have gone to my mother about things like this.

    Let them cuddle and enjoy being in love.

    They'll do it anyway but it's better if she knows you trust her enough to let them sleep together under your roof.

    Dont let them forget that it is your house and you still run the show.

    If they try anything 'fishy' that you dont like just tell your daughter your not comfortable with her and him in the room anymore.

    Hopefully she'll respect that.

    Best of luck,Hope it helps!

    Yes because shes 18 years old which means shes an adult and can take care of herself now. If she was under 18 well then no because they like eachother have feelings and things can happen that you dont wnat to happen.

    ought to you pick them to be sneaking about having sex? a minimum of she has had the adulthood to ask you if you're happy with it. the precedence must be getting your head used to the conception. it must be sensible to set some form of floor regulations - it is your homestead after all.

    Well they seem sensible when it comes to practicing safe sex, so why not?
