Not on my watch. No way - No How.

Foundational work, not DIY stuff:cool:

Both my children know exactly where I stand, and I them...there is not a shy gene in the house.

David, my daughter skipped a grade and was a 17 year-old college freshman (she turned 18 in December) over 2000 miles from home.

She has done exceptionally well, mainly because of her mother...but it was a certain leap of faith.

Seriously, any parent who would let their 15/16/17 year olds have a "sleepover," with boys and girls, and the girls in lingerie, and the event called the "HoHoHoDown" is an idiot.

Not only is it idiotic, but knowing those facts, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to argue it is illegal. Let's just say, if something bad ended up happening as a result of that event, I would not want it to have been under my roof.

(Now, don't get me wrong, when I was 15/16/17 I prayed every night my parents would be that naive and idiotic. But, unfortunately, they were actual parents, not the "buddy" parents of today).

Not in my house - no how, no way. Damn kids are too noisy. Slumber party? That's what the canal bank is for. Leave me alone.

boinking the princess while the King & Queen sleep..
not in our house..
wife told her BIL that his daughter would not be sleeping with her BF in our house..

or Paul's daughter..
she may be older now & off to school far away ..
an adult really..
but she would not insult Hawk should she bring a guest home..
by sleeping with him in his home..

Co-ed sleep overs = Negative Ghost Rider Not at our place.

Brother, if she tried (and she wouldn't), I'd be the second gun to that fight...Mrs. Hawk is younger and faster...

I have fond memories of doing that :)

I know that back in the 70's kids in my middle school were having sex...and drinking...and taking drugs. Times have not changed. What has changed (apparently) is that parents are providing their kids with too much trust these days. Coed sleepovers were not happening...without covert operations and much planning. Much easier to do it in the car...hence the popularity of vans.

Side note to parents - do any of you monitor your kids facebook account? We do. The wife and I blown away with the vanity of most grade 7-12 aged girls. It's all about them...:rolleyes:

Vans - fond mammaries...

We have one neighbor where the parents allow parties like this, and even supply the alcohol! Daughter is allowed to have boyfriend spend the night with her on weekends. I am appalled!

I think the parties are now ended. During the last one, my buddies $700 bicycle GPS computer was stolen.

The funny thing, these are professional people. The only other parents of children I've known who were this permissive were hippies (not former, they still were!) and they let the kids smoke pot, etc. They felt they would be hypocrits if they didn't. :rolleyes:

It could be worse.
They could be TPing someone's house, or drawing chalk-outline dicks.

When I was 17-18 we would have parties at my best friend's house every weekend (there was an apartment above his garage). The girls would sleep over there with us about half of the time. It was less likely for hookups to occur in that setting than when a guy and a girl would simply go hang out one-on-one and be home by 11pm.

We were young and dumb, but we survived without injury, arrest/drinking ticket, or pregnancy.

To put a perspective on this for anyone unaware, I'm currently 22 and have parents that were fairly controlling in high school.

- you set out some electronic trip wire devices, I hope...

Three bedroom house, master bedroom at end of hall with Mom and dad, first bedroom where girls slept, second bedroom where wife and I slept, then dinning room kitchen, living room, family room where boys slept on air mattresses.

And dad took everyone out to the range to play with his guns during the day ;)

Some of my memories of my youth are hazy, but my overall memory of what it was like to be an adolescent boy/man is crystal clear. Teenaged boy/men pursue what is called the "Prime Directive," and they pursue it with unbridled vigor. There is virtually nothing else they pursue other than the Prime Directive. This should be borne in mind when scheduling coed sleepovers where teenaged girls are wearing lingerie.

What will be done will be done, but for parents to condone the activity and supply the means is irresponsible. Bad parenting. But it does not matter. Look around at how "low" the world has become. English is not required. Grammar is non existent. I don't think the work "respect" is even in the dictionary anymore. We are going down folks. And in a hurry. You will only be able to isolate yourself from it for a short period of time.

Not in our home or with our kids in someone else's home, no way!

Maybe in the girl's mind, but read the "prime directive" response above.

As a Dad myself I say NO e'fin way and that goes for both the son and daughter. Once they are of age and willing to assume responsibility fine but not until then.

Eh, I'm 18 and I sleep over my girlfriends parent's house occasionally. They live right near Limerock park so I stay over and then go to events like a PCA club race or ALMS the next morning (if there is even an event). They trust me 100% and so do my parents.

Where do they have me sleep?
The room right next to her with a bathroom joining both rooms.

Do I do anything?
No, I'm not stupid.

If you raised your kids correctly, where they realize the consequences of their actions, and you trust them, what is there to worry about?

Kind of ironic coming from the guy with the bouncing boobs as his avatar...just sayin' :p
