We allow it. I guess we are permissive parents. My son is 24 and his girlfriend is 23. They lived together in college but are now living at their respective homes, working and saving for an apartment. Her parents, however, make him sleep in the guest room when he stays over. They're from South America and her father in particular is strict in that regard (never mind that he fathered a child with another woman while married to my son's GF's mother - hypocrite much?).
It doesn't work for me. My daughters wouldn't have a boyfriend to spend the night. Sorry. If he came to visit he better bring $$$ for a motel..or he is welcome to make a bed out of the back of my van that has fold down seats. His option.
P.S. I don't care that they have been living together. They can do whatever they wish somewhere else, my home is my rules.
My BF and I are 25 and 27. We live together and are planning to get married. In my parent's house and his mom's, we sleep in separate rooms. When we stay with his dad, we usually stay in separate rooms, but only because they have twin beds. His dad has offered to blow up an air mattress but it's not really worth the hassle.
However, if we're talking about teenagers, no no and no. Do you really think hormonally ravaged teens are going to take the time to practice safe sex?
See. I'm having this problem with my parents (who I only recently started living with for the first time in my life about two years ago due to financial problems). I'm 24 and my b/f is going to be visiting me from the UK for three weeks. Before I booked his ticket, they said it was fine, but now they're saying it's not and they're going to make him sleep on a cot for the three weeks he's here. I work a lot (55 hours of graveyard shifts a week!) and the only real time we'd get together would be lying in bed together watching TV and cuddling.
Not to mention the fact that when I was a little kid and they started dating (it's my mom and step-dad. Mom and biological dad divorced when I was two and my dad got custody), they shared the same bed and didn't even bother to cover up what they were doing (this was during my biweekly weekend visits mandated by the court). I don't think it's right for them to pull the "Because I said so" excuse.
I do plan on getting my own apartment in February. Right now, though, I'm just shy of financially stable. His visit will be in January after his university exams and staying in motel/hotel for three weeks is way too expensive. I also don't have any friends here and I relocated from another state. In addition, we don't plan on doing anything but sleeping as that would just be weird and awkward under my parents' roof. We just want cuddles since we don't get to see/touch each other for months and months at a time. :/
