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.

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?

some parents are dumb

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.

 
An 18 year old girl would usually be a bit more independent of parental oversight.

Sounds like she's really under their thumb. No normal teen rebellion?

No, not at all. My brother won't ask them to, he actually loves her. I feel pretty bad for him. =/

a couple i knew in high school lived about 5 hours apart while they were in college. saw each other every weekend and got married last year

i cant imagine that its commonplace, though, but its doable.

God forbid parents have morals these days

agreed.

to the OP:

even if they are both responsible...

let me ask you this...

when you're an adult and you have a teenage daughter would you let her spend the night alone at her boyfriends place?

for me, it wouldn't be that i don't trust my daughter... it'd be more of i don't trust the guy...
 
Nobody seems to think this girl might be going along with her parents' wishes out of her own free well? Y'know, to make them feel comfortable, like her boyfriend, think she's making good decisions?

Alone? My parents are here, I'm here, the fscking dog is here.

ah. i must have missed that.

sorry.

well... i guess it depends on the parents ultimately.

some parents are more protective than others.

Nope, she thinks it's pretty outrageous too.
 
If you can't trust your children to make their own decisions by the time they're 18, then you screwed up as a parent. Think about it... If they really want to have sex or whatever, they're going to do it one way or another. Even if there are parents or whoever in the house with them, they can just wait until everybody's asleep to mess around. If they're only allowed to see eachother for the day, they can drive out in the woods and get it on. I know so many parents like that. They're so worried about what the other parents at school/church/whatever will think if they find out they let their daughter spend the night at a boy's house that they make their children's lives miserable.
