When you were growing up, at what age, if at all, did your parents allow your boyfriend or girlfriend sleep over in the same bed? If you have teenagers, do you allow them to have their girlfriends or boyfriends sleep over, in the same bed?

When I was growing up, I wasn’t allowed to have boyfriends sleep over at all (only if my parents were away on vacation and didn’t have a clue LOL). This was typical of my friends – most people my age were not allowed to have their boyfriends or girlfriends sleep over. My parents’ attitude was “not under our roof you don’t” even though, in other respects, they were pretty liberal and youthful compared to my friends’ parents.

Now my friends who have teenagers let their sons have their girlfriends sleep over.

I am asking because I am curious if other Jellies were allowed to have boyfriends or girlfriends sleep over, and if so, what age did your parents allow it? As parents now (if you are parents), do you allow your teens to have their boyfriends or girlfriends sleep over?

I have a young child so for me, this won’t be an issue for hopefully about ten years, but I am curious if it’s an issue for other Jellies, now and in the past when you were growing up.
