I F19, have been with my boyfriend, also 19 for almost 2 years now and he met my parents almost a year ago. We are long distance. Everytime he comes to visit he sleeps in my bedroom and my parents have always been fine with it. I’m really close with my parents and they even brought him on vacation with us- he’s spent Christmas, New years etc with us. He wouldn’t be sleeping at my house if we werent long distance, and this is the first boy I’ve ever dated and brought home.
Anyways I’ve asked my parents (mainly my mom) how they feel about it multiple times because I would never want to disrespect them and would be fine with sleeping separately. My mom always says she’s completely fine with it. She says at first it was a bit of a shock because I had never brought a boy home, but they see how respectful he is etc. We never do anything disrespectful and are always mindful of my family. I guess I’m just a little worried that this is not a normal or respectful thing to do. Is this, in your opinion disrespectful? I’d love to know whay other parents think

It’s hard as a parent to get used to the idea of your kid having sex. So yeah, is a bit tricky to navigate the first time that happens. But I think most parents are able to make the switch and be fine with it after the first few times. If your parents say they are fine with it, I wouldn’t worry about itÂ
