Would you let your kids bf/gf sleep-over?

by Abaddon in

at what age would you be happy with your kid's boyfriend and girlfriend 'sleeping over'?.

would the rules be different for boys vs. girls?.

personally, i think given a choice between 'it' happening anyway god-knows-where and giving a suitably mature kid some privacy, i go for the privacy option.. what do you think?

Thats pretty much the way I have tried to look at it and keep an open line of communication with my kids. I was raised in a very strict house Not allowed to date till I turned 16, not a problem but when I turned 16 then suddenly I could only date "chosen" ones. Ha. Very old fashoned. The boy had to ask permission formal permission from my father. then when my dad said ok the condition was that we double date for awhile and his friend had to get a hair cut. Ya right. Nightmare city. I knew what that did for me and I didn't want my kids growing up feeling like they need to sneek off somewhere. Nope. It's still hard to adjust though when the time is suddenly in your lap.

""Plmkrzy, you are in major need of a clue. Run, do not walk, to the nearest clue store and stock up. Take your credit card, cash won't cover this shortage.""

You are too funny. LOL

The fact of the matter is not even YOU would be able to stop it from happening except maybe in your dreams.
I would rather know my kids are safe. and being as wise as possible.
Of course she isn't gay. I'm not stupid. I'm also not going to get histerical about it.
I was not having a problem recognizing what was going on I was having a problem with my "CONCIENSE" But I think I'm handeling the situation just fine. Unfortunately though if you are raising teen agers they will probably be doing it in the back seat of a car unprotected. Maybe You would like to borrow my credit card?

ARE YOU READY TO ROCK?

by You Know in

jehovah long ago confidently stated that he was going to rock the very heavens and the earth into oblivion.

although not going into detail exactly how he proposes to shake the nations up, it goes without saying that the world stands posed to experience a catastrophe beyond human comprehension.. it has now been six months since the so-called 9-11 disaster.

and while most people have been quick to get back to business as usual in their little lives, the events of 9-11 have set off a chain reaction of official policy revision that has potentially far-reaching consequences.

Seeing the dates all bunched up like that was kinda creepy.

Well abbadon looks like your stuck with me.

Funny you just happened to post something that has just recently become an issue in my home. I was going to post the question myself and then ducked out. I'm sure more folks then this have teen issues.

My youngest is 17. Boy. Up until about a month ago I would have said No it wouldn't or shouldn't matter or make a difference boy Or girl. There both teens. That's what matters. I would have defended that opinion without budging a bit.
I can't say that anymore since he recently snuck his girl friend in late one night after a date. I got up around 4 a.m. went in the kitchen to make coffee and heard, what I thought was my son coming out of his room and go into the bathroom and take a shower. This is totally out of character for him. Ok whatever I poured my coffee and sat down at the computer. The bath room door opened I was expecting my "kid" to come in the Kitchen instead I hear a very feminine voice calling from the bathroom to my son,"I need a towel." This was my face. . My son was still sleeping, so I grabbed a robe and knocked on the bathroom door, she opened the door and I said "How bout this will it do?" She took the robe said thank you and shut the door. It has been weird around here lately To say the least. I had no time at all to even think about this or prepare for it. totally BLEW my mind. Not only am I not yelling about it but I'm giving the little **** a ride home. Well, The first thing that went through my head was what should I do about "her" parents. Should I call them and tell them? should I just stay out of that side of it and tell her she can't sleep hear ever again.AAAAHHHHhhhhhhhh.
I didn't say a word to her and instead waited until I could talk to my son in private about it first.
So when were alone I tell him "We have to talk." I can't believe how kaysarasara his attitude is. So I ask him "What the hell are you doing!" "Have you lost your mind!"
You know the usual parent stuff. He laughs. Then says "Ok,... I know what it must look like." Me looking really amazed mouth wide open.
He tells me there is absolutely Nothing going on between them. And thought it was funny that I would even think that. So I ask What am I not getting here? He say's "Just trust me Mom" "Honest were not doing anything, It's perfectly innocent." I asked if that what she is telling her Mom and dad about now? "Oh her Mom knows" "We called her and told her she was going to come home and stay at my place for the night instead of driving all the way back to her house." Ok I accept that and let it drop. Since then she has stayed over every week end.
The story was (when this first started) that she is gay and has a girl friend and the reason she didn't want to go home on the week ends was because her Mom won't allow her girl friend in her house. So they come over to my house and party.
OK fine.
New Light is now shedding. She just spent three days at my place and not once did her girl friend come over. I don't think she is gay any more or at least not this week end. .
Dilemma. So What would you do at this point?

i was looking at a magazine while waiting for my son to come out from seeing his doctor a couple of weeks ago, and it had an article in it about dick cheney.

(i think it was a magazine named architecture.

) it showed pictures of the home cheney is favored with living in during his tenure as vice president of the united states.

Well I won't be running to live in the old White House. Clean 132 rooms all by myself? No thank you!
I'll just build me a little 2 or 3 room cottage by the sea and be very happy.
I'd rather dream then live out the rest of my life pissed off at the world for sure.

"Funny thing though, I get Watchtowers and Awakes brought to me, but the ones that are missing must be the ones that mention the Memorial, because I've not found any reference to it."

I looked at the Watchtowers I have and didn't see any mention of it either. I don't remember seeing it mentioned any any of them last year either. Last year I got one of those slips.

It is posted in the JW Calendar. My mom sends me one every year
