This isn't one of my YAGT's, but my brothers.

He's been dating this girl for about...two years steady now. My brother's 19, decent kid, good job, responsible. She's 18, great kid, going to med school, whatever. We all lived in the same city so they were 5 minutes or so apart. Well, last year we moved about 2 hours away. So now they have one of those "long distance relationships." But still, no matter how much he works and how little free time he has, he drives two hours to go see her every weekend, then two hours back.

Once in a while her parents let her come up for the day. Well, she came up this morning, and I just found out she's going home tonight, then comming back at 5AM. Her parents will not let her spend the night.

:shocked:

Over-protective parents, FTW?
 
And when my daughter is 18 she wont be staying the night at a boys house either, assuming she lives with us.

Smart parents FTW.
 
parents don't want their daughter to stay the night at their home, but rather have her drive back on a 2-hour trip at night-time? How on earth is that being over-protective?

Edit: Oh wait, I think I just got what you meant.

You'd make her boyfriend drive two hours to bring her home, two hours back to his house, then two hours down, and two hours back in the morning?

2 hours? That's long distance?

Anyways, she's 18. She should get out of dodge.

When you work all day all week and have to drive two hours there, two hours back on the weekend, I consider that somewhat long. And that's without traffic.

I forgot. Most kids on ATOT wouldnt care if their daughter is a little whore out fvcking everything that moves.

Some of us expect a bit more from our children.

That said, ask me in 9 years. Then I'll tell you what I'd do without question.

No, I'd let her take the car (If she didnt have her own) the first night and the second day he can do the driving.
 
i feel my religious beliefs are as religious as anyones, the way i feel about those situations is after 18 years as parents if you cant trust your daughter to make the right decision you have sucked at being a parent.

she should be allowed to spend the night in a different room or on the couch, how would these policies apply to people who are forced to sleep in the same room due to their economical situation? if temptation is too strong in a situation that you cant resist it than you do not really believe.

I couldnt agree more. By the time your child is 18 they NEED to be a mature enough citizen to at least understand the consequences of their actions, if not always making the right choices.

Um....I'm not trying brew anything up. But at what age would you let your daughter stay at a boy's house overnight, Assuming they're living with you? I'm just curious of your perspective.

Its hard to answer, hence my post above.
Ask me in 9 years. My daughter will be 18 then. 😉

The short answer today is.....Her first day of college. Then we'll talk. Before then, furgetaboutit.

If my daughter is so anxious to go out and do her own thing, she can get her own place. Otherwise, my house, my rules. Such is life. Not to say I wont help her get her own place. Hell, I joke around now with the kids that their graduation present is going to be a moving truck rented for 2 days and keys to their own apartment. Hell, I'll pay for the apartment, but ya cant stay here!

There's a double-standard for this one and I will admit it. When it came to my personal experience, I will say oh that's BS. However, when I have a daughter, I'm going to say no premarital sex, but if she does it I won't condemn her for it (hell, I did it myself so who am I to talk?).

The point is, make your stand, but let your children make their own decisions once they are of age. If they keep making the wrong choices, then you failed as a parent in preparing them for the real world.
