I definitely have an opinion. LOL!! Just call me DrSarkie. I agree with you, it is wrong and he certainly is not giving a good example or impression to the younger children. If he is allowed to do it than that will be the norm when the others grow up. They sleep together when they are married, then and only then, and certainly not under your roof. You are not being old fashioned. It is your home, those are your rules. No ifs, ands or buts about it. Opinionated, aren't I?

By the way, How are you doing? Is the knee healing?

Pati - I agree with Sarkie. 100%. It is your house and your rules, and a bad example for his siblings. Just wait - when they turn 14, 15, they will throw it up in your face. One must always live according to one's values. This si a fine example for your son when he has children of his own.

Here's my 2 cents worth! I totally agree with Sarkie and Carolyn. Dr. James Dobson said that it is fine for the older child to live in your home at this age but.....it is your home and as long as they are under your roof, your rules go. You are not being old fashioned in any way. I will not give in to some of the ideas this new generation feels are OK. Sorry, I would draw the line here. You have to think of the younger kids and when your eldest has kids of his own he will understand.

Now my two cents..like you need any more advice, I would sit the boy down and say, "I know at your age, hormones are raging, and you're old enough to know what you're doing, however, take them to Bate's Motel. We have young impressionable children to think of, and we want them to be raised with our values, and bringing the girlfriend home for a romp in the hay, ain't a part of the "Leave it to Beaver" atmosphere. We're not supplying you with a room for sexual experimentation...If she is willing to spend the night, let her do it in front of HER parents.
