I had boyfriends stay at home when I was young, and my boys girlfriends always welcome here. They would get together regardless so I like to think they feel comfortable to be in their home.

Wouldn’t have had a leg to stand on?

Of course, I obviously expected my adult offspring to be able to make adult choices smile

I’m with youNina - as long as it’s a long term relationship it’s the normal way. Making them sleep apart suggests that they are doing something ‘wrong’ and sinful and might lead to a young person thinking their host has no respect for their life choices.

Asking personal questions is also a minefield unless you have a very warm and accepting and respecting relationship.

I suspect your friend has had a different life experience and has very different expectations.

I was chatting to a good friend on Saturday about family.
She said she had never let her children sleep with their partners at her house even when they were living with their respective partners (they both went on to marry these partners)
I allowed this, if they are living together, and you know about it, what's the point in saying no. I wouldn't allow it with any random guy.
Also, she asked me something about DD's personal life and I said "I don't know, she's an adult, why would I ask her that" Oh, if it was my daughter I would definitely ask.
Opinions please.
