Sd16 met this boy last summer while at her moms. Sd tried to stay at her moms (BM is in and out of jail, no home, no job) claiming it would be better for her little brother (who lives with BMs ex the boys father.) a total farse. it turns out sd was just in love with a boy. She came home a year passed, summer love died and all was well. Same thing this summer. Now all she has been saying is how she needs to go back cause she misses him. they say I love you, our cell phone bill is through the roof, so we offer for him to come visit us. Don't mind meeting the guy our little girl has fallen for and show her we are reasonable people. Turns out his parents ARE going to fly him here!! I was kinda figuring it would never happen. SO now we have him coming to stay in our house for 5 days. We have a small guest room, with our room in between hers. What kind of guidelines do you all suppose we set? We live in a small apt. so it is out of the question to say they cannot be alone in her room at all for 5 days. the door must always be open, regular curfew hours, anything else? I am really scared about this. I think since the boy live a plane ride away it is our best bet for him to come to us instead of her going to him, but how do we control this, what can we control? What do I say to this kid for 5 days? good idea turning out to be a bad idea arggh

i appreciate the insight, turns out we think she already has or is definatly planning on having sex. DH found birth control, already in use, and condoms in her drawer. As upsetting and disturbing this is, I am happy with the responsability taken. Fortunatly DH works nights and I days, so we will be home at all times. Thanks for bring up mornings, that may be an issue we have to address, as I go to work early and DH comes home late....and sleeps late. all in all this is not going to be fun:( thanks for the input!
