Coed sleep overs

[Rebekah8787]

What age would you leave your child sleep over and the opposite sexes house?

[MichelleSw]

Never. I don't allow my child to sleep out period. Unless it is with trusted family. I've had to much happen to me. Maybe as a teen but I wouldn't allow coed... that's begging for trouble.

Oh it just depends really.. little kids are know big deal if their teen gf/bf well if you can keep them away from one another its fine, but not a good habbit to start.. I would say if there's only a all boy house I wouldn't let my dd over for the night just cause not all homes are both sex friendly and dont know how to treat girls... Heck co ed homes have a hard enough.. I have three girls n three boys so I am used to both but not everyone is...

My dd who is 3 has slept over her friends house, he is 5. I know both parents very well. I have no problem with coed sleepovers at any age

NEVER! This is NOT something that I want my kids to think is acceptable!

[PinkParadox]

Never.

I allowed sleepovers starting around age 4 with my best friend's kids. We are constantly trading back n forth.

I have no problem with co~ed group sleepovers, like with your church youth group or a special birthday party as long as girls n boys are in seperate parts of the house.

However, there will be no boyfriend/girlfriend sleepovers. If kids want to have sex, they can find places in the middle of the day. It doesn't have to happen aat night. They are also less likely to try it on a sleepover knowing you will be watching.

Well here's the thing my sister picked up my 10 yr olds gf and took them all swimming she didn't want to go home cuz her parents were fighting, well I went to take her home and she asked if she could spend the night I felt bad for her and said I didn't care as long as it was up to her mom. Her mom said sure. Ok well also I never met her mom and today was the first time I talk to her. I'd never ever leave my daughter spend the night at a boys house, I do however have my 17 yr old sister here my fiancé my boys 12,10 and 10 months and my 9 yr old daughter. I just find it strange for a mom not to ask questions hell she doesn't even know where I live.

 If we knew the family really well-then it would start when the child was ready to have sleepovers.  With my kids that was K or 1st grade-since we have 2 girls and 1 boy it is almost like co-ed sleep overs when friends come over.  Esp if one of my son's boy scout friends.

This quote goes with the post this is why I asked the question

First of all, my 10 year old wouldn't have a girl friend so I wouldn't find myself in this situation.  Now if they were just friends, I'd say as long as neither of them is beginning to look at the opposite sex in a more grown up way, it is fine.  Once they being showing an interest in boy/girl friends then it isn't a good idea IMO.
