Parents, would you let your daughter stay the night at her boyfriends?
This is for parents of teenagers. Would you let your 17 1/2 year old daughter spend the night at her boyfriends apartment (who just turned 20)? You know they are being responsible when it comes to having sex because you got her on birth control. They are both very mature, are both in school and doing very well, both have jobs, and both have their head on their shoulders. She definitely doesn't have the mental and emotional maturity of a 17 year old, and he is definitely a more mature 20 year old.

No!
A child doesn't need to play house with a boyfriend at 17!
Just because she is mature doesn't mean she can't get pregnant

I am an 18 year old I jus moved in with my now fiance. We started dating tho when I was 17 n him 22. I am like you described your daughter very mature for my age and my mother was concerned jus as you are. He stayed the night at our house and I stayed the night at his before we moved in together obviously. This is your choice and yours only. Your not a bad mother but a great one if you raised a mature daughter that knows how to take care of herself n handle herself.

That would definitely be your call. Personally, I wouldn't let her stay the night. Kids are still kids and let's be honest, when the hormones start flowing they stop thinking with the head on their shoulders. It sounds like you have a really responsible daughter and if you are personally okay with knowing that you are sending her over there to have sex with him then all the power to you but I wouldn't be ready for that especially if my daughter was only 17 years old. Good luck!

I'm 17, my boyfriend is 20. Neither of my parents see anything wrong with me staying at my boyfriends house or him staying at mine. In fact my entire family (including grandmother and over protective sister) see nothing at all wrong with it. Your daughter is almost 18. You don't want to drive her away by not giving her freedom.

'you got her on birth control'
Can SHE put YOU on birth control? You have no right to interfere in her biology. Honestly, who the fúck are you to dictate? Mind your own business - she is NOT your property.
If you want a democratic discussion - you, her dad, and her - that's a different thing, but you cannot go around like a mini-Hitler deciding who has what control.

It's your decision, and by the way you're making it sound I think it's pretty legit. You said they were responsible and mature, so let them do it.

Absolutely not. When she is an adult and living on her own, then she can decide where she sleeps. To allow it would be condoning immature behavior.

That's wrong
