He can be kidding all he wants... basically he is lying to get her in that situation. If they have, she is lying and if they haven't and he is saying they have, he is lying. Someone better come clean or they wouldn't be together at my house. No, No, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Oh, I don't know about out-right lying. I think they were both probably hoping and played it off as a joke when the answer came in. You know, the "well, maybe she will let us..." mentality.
At least both the daughter and the boyfriend feel comfortable enough with the mother to ask, instead of sneaking (well, I would still worry about sneaking...).
If you let the "under the blanket" crap happen then why are you so shocked now? You helped cultivate the behavior, now you want to stop it. Are you serious? Parents need to stop trying to be your kids buddy and be the grown up. I know exactly what would have happened under the blankets back in the day.
Agree wholeheartedly with the "no" response not because of any great moral issue but because YOU'RE not comfortable with it and what goes on under your roof is your prerogative. Hope they're using birth control! Cheers!
... we will be in my parents mtn house!! what would you do?
Assuming your parents are still alive and own the place here then it isn't your house, so they can kinda do what they want even if you do say no, you don't really have anything legal to hold over them. Not really. The police wouldn't worry about a 17 yr old as they are so close to adulthood for it to be worth the trouble.
I know the "no" is basically many parents' discomfort in the whole idea of it. But overall you can't do much about it and they'll just find a way if they are that determined.
If you can't control them, may as well support them (ie make a compromise). But for the record, I'd probably tell them I wasn't comfortable with it, either and rather they didn't while I was around (that's coming from my inability to physically stop them, but I can ask them to respect my feeling on it when I'm present and that I don't need to see or hear it).
I have a son who will be 17 next month....if he thought "kidding" like that with his girlfriends parents was okay, He'd get his butt grounded. Does HIS parents know about all this??
