What would you say ?

[otago]

A couple of years ago when my daughter was sixteen and a half she came out to my workshop to ask a question.
Daddy ( must be expensive normally it is dad now) can Chris (boyfriend) stay the night.
No trouble love he can stay in his normal room behind the workshop.

No, you don't understand, can he stay in my room for the weekend, big gulp on my part.
Better if you ask your mother, asked her, she said to ask you.
Now the kids had been going out together for a couple of years at this time.

What did I say, yes of course, where my daughter is concerned I am the softest bugger going.
So gentlemen, what would you say and why ?

Oh hell no.

She's 16?

Hell no he can't stay the night.

They totally got down and dirty.

Why?

Because they are teenagers, with raging hormones.

 

[dwaxe]

No. If you want him to stay, he better fill out this form in that empty room.

[scherbchen]

well I look at it this way: if they are going to do anything they will find a way to do it. sure, it will be very awkward in the morning with everyone around for breakfast... I'll give you that. but I'd rather have them somewhere I know they are safe.

couple of years going straight? I am not going to say "have at it" but I would be glad it was not a spur of the moment thing. I'd rather she'd bring home a cute girl but what can you do?

 

[holy king]

no. noone's gonna have sex with this young woman because she is mine.

 

[Gilder]

As a general rule, probably not. Really depends on the kind of guy he is.

Actually, still no. You can do it, but not when I'm around in my own house. Too awkward.

 

[Masquerouge]

I kind of agree with Scherbchen. At least it's not a one-night stand. Plus she had the honesty to ask you about it.

I guess you already had the talk with her?

 

[CaptainF]

I'd hand them a box of trojans and a tube of KY.

I'd throw in the added caveat that they had better use up all of this merchandise by the end of the weekend, OR ELSE.

What can I do? Kids wanna make whoopee...I'd be a hypocrite to deny them the pleasure considering we all want some...

 

[scherbchen]

Actually, still no. You can do it, but not when I'm around in my own house. Too awkward.

I sympathize with this sentiment. I'd rather have my little girl at home, though. added bonus: knowing daddy is within earshot keeps the little buggers on their toes (and sometimes unable to perform).

 

[Brighteye]

If I had a daughter, I would hope to have brought her up to be responsible. If I'd have had the chap round to stay and there's nothing obviously wrong with him then I'd give her freedom to do what she wants. The usual conditions, such as not disturbing me at night with loud noises, would apply.

 

[Mark1031]

Interesting question. My oldest daughter is 13 and I can't yet imagine this situation. That said why not. I mean really what is wrong with it. You should be pleased that you have a good enough relationship and she and he are confortable enough to be open about this.

Yeah, that's kind of the catch. I also would feel safer with her at home.

On the other hand, they don't wanna be around when I do it, and I don't wanna be around when they do it.

 

[Masquerouge]

Actually, still no. You can do it, but not when I'm around in my own house. Too awkward.

Interesting. Do you find parents having sex while the kids are under the same roof awkward too, or is it just a one-way thing?

Yes. That definitely happened to me.

 

[Dachs]

Hell no he can't stay the night.

I totally agree with this.

 

[CCRunner]

"Just tell him that if I catch him I'll blow his balls off! And I'll be listening..."

erm... poor choice of words. I meant shoot! As in with a shotgun!

 

[Gilder]

It goes both ways. I suppose if the house was big enough, then it probably wouldn't be a problem, but I'm basing this off the house I live in now, which probably isn't so groovy for that.

 

[Mark1031]

For the nay sayers can you offer a reason? Don't bother if it is religious I understand that one but a secular reason to say no.
