Never in a million years! I wouldn't mix both male and female, you'd be asking for trouble.
Yes, but just separate them.
Yes. As long as they are both responsible. Girls being friends with boys isn't uncommon. Friends make them happy and spending time together can improve their friendship
What! I am offended you think we would do something we wouldnt !you think we're stupid but we have brains!!!!!! Seriously people i feel very offended.I only want to sleepover with a boy because he's my friend and my friends are the only people who don't treat me like I'm crazy just because he's a boy don't mean I would do something inappropriate he have brains you know

when i was youner about 11 my mom let me go to a bos hosue and stay the noght and there was no problem and nothign happened i think if the parents trust their kids there be not probelms but anymore not one trust kids
Your wrong, I did it a couple times and it was fine. As long as you dont sleep in the same bed! I dont understand why everyone says you can do it when your little but not over 9 or 10? As long as the boy and girl dont kiss or change in the same room.
Needs to understand that not everybodys hetero
Never! A a co-ed sleepover isn't necessary or appropriate ever.
It's not appropriate for kids to spend time with their friends when it's 100% platonic?
Why? Its fine. Im a girl and me and my guy bff are having a sleepover. Not everybodys straight, get over it. Id be more likely to go down on my girl bsf than him like calm down and trust your children and their judgment.
This same question was posted by someone else a few weeks ago, go back in search for it. I think it had like 80+ post on it. You'll find most post were 12 yr olds saying yes, very few adults/parents respond and the ones who did strongly suggest NO. Being a mother of an already grown daughter I can tell for sure you will regret it so I say you definitely should not. My thought on it is this" anything that can done in fun should end when its time to go to sleep and send them all on home" because the nights over then and nothing else is left to do. And you should not lose sleep all night watching them and only problems can occur from it.
Only depends on the children. It is not the 20th century anymore. Boys and girls can be just as good friends as a boy and a boy or girl and a girl could.
Never! No,no, a thousand times no! Please do not let your girl have or attend one of these.
I disagree with you I think that is it okay to do that let them do what they want to do
I vote with the overwhelming "no" faction, a reallllly big NO!
Absolutely no way. Maybe a slumber party with just girls. I personally think that boys and girls are put into situations where they are together and there is no need for it at these tender ages. Let the kids be kids while they can.
True true And even more true! It is important to have kids experience both gender sleep overs.Sometime with a boy and sometimes with a girl. If you limit it to one gender your just doing the same thing over again and again.It gets old to me and especially boys need to get over of being nervous sleeping in the same bed or room with a girl. Practically if a boy and girl sleep over happens, a boy will never ever be nervous around a girl again.
NO! I wouldn't let a child of any age have a boy/girl sleepover.
I teach high school. Trust me, it is hard enough keeping things under control in a classroom sometimes.
Guess what all you silly sexists? My son has had several, nothing happened! In fact he often goes to party's were he's the only boy! It's fine! Your all basically saying, I don't want my child to be happy because there freind is a girl.
I am nine and I have sleepovers with boys all the time you don't know what you are talking about!
absolutely NOT!
You are setting up a path for a lot of future bad decisions. Tell your kid NO no matter how much they pout. You are the parent & they are the kid. Most parents would disapprove of you for allowing such a thing to happen. I would not want YOU to be in charge of my child or grandchild in any way. This is very irresponsible to even consider such a thing.
You would be responsible for what goes on & if something should happen you would be liable & we're talking possible jail time here. Be the parent & say no way. Let's think of something else that would be fun or it will be family time only.
Ah okay I get it. So youre 100% going to do illegal stuff at a unisex sleepover but not a same sex sleepover. Ok. Makes sense. Do you even hear yourself? Damn.
My first thought was NO, because of the curiosity, at that age, and the start of girl/boy crazy thing, but ya know, if there isn't any concerns with inappropriate behaviors, and you know them well. Why not?
But of course, girls with Mom in the room, boys with Dad in another room or level in the house. Good Luck
Did any one notice that the response looks like it was typed by a kid? Just wondering, and I agree 100% about no sleep overs!
Asking for trouble! No way!
Nope, no way and no thanks
I think you should do what you feel is right. Having that type of sleepover, think about it and then write down the good and the bad and make your decision. As a mother of four boys and one daughter I wouldn't have a sleepover but would have a co-ed party and the girls could stay over after. Plus the party would be full of games and actives to keep everyone very busy at all times.Even down to making some type of art project that they could make and take with them.
NO, asking for trouble. No sleep overs at any age, not even 30!!!!
NO do not open yourself to troubles.
Maybe the boys can come for small party, cake
and LEAVE and girls can stay ...
No, never. I am happy to see that everyone has said no. Boys should never be in a girls bedroom, (or visa-versa) even during the day. There just isn't any reason for it.
Also, beware, if your child wants to stay over at a friend's house and they have a opposite gender sibling around the same age. That could be asking for trouble too.
what do you mean? if it is just some 12-13 year olds playing video games what's the big deal? And if they did stay the night, then put them in seperate rooms when the parents go to sleep. your parenting method is wack, you've gotta fix it
Of course not - You'd have to be crazy.
Absolutely not! They're ten years old boys and girls who are becoming very aware their of differences and very curious about the opposite sex. While I"m sure you plan to supervise their every move, do you really want to set a precedent that this is acceptable? Would you want to host a boy-girl sleepover with high-schoolers? I do not think this is a good idea. A boy-girl party would suffice.
I disagree with the majority. I believe that we, as a society, take something as innocent as a sleepover at a friends house and make it dirty and nasty. For the most part I bet your children don't even look at boys in any other way then a fun kid to be around. I am surprised at the number of people who drill into the minds of the young that boys and girls can't be friends, how close minded and old fashioned. My daugter is 10 years old and I know will one day take an interest in boys beyound the innocent playmate she sees them as now and when that time comes then different rules will come into play. But if we as paretns believe in our parenting and our ability to teach our child morals and values then why is this such an issue? I have spoken to my daughter about how I see it verses how the rest of the world sees it and I am happy to say that she is not only comfortable but confident about who she is and the friends she keeps. She will not allow society to convince her that because we have different body parts we should not really be friends.
A very proud mum.
I would if I knew the parents really well because my 11 year old daughter is having a sleep over with a 10 year old boy tonight and I feel nothing against it as long as they sleep on different couches.
I think a boy girl sleepover will be great (as long as people behave.) Think of ALL the fun you would have, besides when your friends come to sleepover and you have a sibling of a different gender it is basically the same!
Kids are entering puberty a lot earlier than they used to, so my answer is no. Girls are acting a lot older than they really are these days and although they might not know what they are doing, a few of those girls will probably be tempted to copy something they've seen their older sister or some girl on t.v. do.
Why not just have a party for both sexes, and at night, send the boys home?
of course! why not? if you hold your daughter back from boys, she's just gonna want more! at least give her a glimpse of what it's like to sleep in the same room as a boy. if she doesn't enjoy it, then don't worry. if she does, well, you know it's not possible for it to happen again. if you were her age, what would you want?
hi my names kyshea and i am 9 turning 10 and these are some tips on what you can do for your b'day,
put decorations up to make the place look prety.
#RENT SOME MOVIES
#have a pillow fight
#scare your friend in the dark
#go in the pool at night
i always sleep in the tent and see who can stay in the longest with out getting scared.
you might be able to have a fashion show
you could play australian idol
you could evern do a ;pphoto shoot
its realy you choice, my choise would behave a pillow fight in the dark.
IT's FINE! If the child is under 13 and you know the boys that will be staying then it's ok! Stop stressing!
No. No and No. Boys do boy things and girls do girl things. Do the boys want to come over and do each others hair and paint nails. I don't think so. Do the girls want to spend the night playing video games shotting things? I don't think so. Not a good idea.
I NEVER want to paint my nails or do my hair. I WANT to be playing video games. My mom always tells me I can't sleepover with boys. And all of my friends are boys. I am going through puberty, but my friends are like brothers. So, why shouldn't I be allowed to have a sleepover? I'm 11!
Uh... I am a girl and would be very pleased to play video games all night, and my guy-friend is better at painting nails then I am
Yes.You should let you child host a boy\girl sleepover.Then they will now what it feels like to sleep in the same room as a boy\girl if they don't like it they won't ask to go to another one for a while.
I am a tween, and I would like to voice my opinion: In 5th grade, my two best friends were boys. My other girl best friends were fighting, and it was too hard to balance my time between them without one getting mad at me or the other. I'm still friends with these boys today, and I mentioned the last time I went over to one of their houses, "Sometimes, I wish I was a boy so I could have sleepovers with you guys. I have sleepover with _ and _ all the time!"
I believe that me and my friends are mature enough. Many of our grade still "ew!" or giggle at any prospect of sexual mention. The whole thing about not knowing what's going on and being curious is stupid. What's wrong with sitting in the basement (in separate beds) watching movies and YouTube on the TV? Or crowding around the computer playing Minecraft? Honestly, real children aren't cliches. There's no giggling about boys at my sleepovers, just a lot of gaming talk. There's not going to be any 7 minutes in heaven- the two boys will probably end up in the closet together! Not that I'm saying I'm against homo, it's just less common than hetro.
But honestly, my parents trust me. They have already raised two fine siblings if mine, and they have faith in my. Have faith in your own kids. I hope this message makes it through.
Every answer here says no. However, I haven't found one decent reason for them saying no. I guess it would depend on the maturity of your kid, because you don't bloody see ten year olds getting pregnant. It's not something that happens. I say screw it, let your kids have their friends of the other sex. You're allowed to be friends with someone of the opposite sex and be just that - friends.
Yes. I don't see any problem with a boy and girl having a sleepover. What if the boy/ girls only friend was the opposite gender ? People are saying that girls do opposite things to boys however , when a boy and a girl have a sleepover it's much more fun. Sleepovers I have with my friends which are girls end up being boring and they sit on their phones. I had my first sleepover with a boy and there was 3 boys and 3 girls. We did the boys makeup , had a dominoes and watched a film. There parents trusted us compeletely and didn't mind us staying. I don't know why everyone's saying no.
yes, defiantly, it doesn't really matter what age they are. when i was little i couldn't have any sleep over because all of my friends were male, i don't want my child too be sad too. just keep them under surveillance, make sure that they both have no ill intentions, and that they don't love each other. Let them be free~
I honestly think that it would be just fine to let your child to have a sleepover with the opposite sex. My very first sleepover was with a boy, age 7, maybe 8. We had no problem with eachther whatsoever, it was actually kind of interesting. We got to do so many things you wouldn't normally do with our other friends. :-)
Hey ppl we have brains. I trust my friends.I mean at this age why would we do that most likely is be in the floor our sacking him with a pillow to give me the bed and the floor for him .hey people did you know children have brains too yeah and we know how to use them too.
Hi me personly i wouldn't but it depends
Step 1
If my your daughter is well behaved and doesn't like any of the boys or they will be separated at all times during the sleeping part i would
It really depends on your opinion
I know alot lf people are saying no, and I completely understand why but at the same time, why not? We as a society find a way to sexualize every single thing. A sleepover with a girl and a boy shouldnt be treated much different than a girl and a girl. Different rules will be in place but that does not make it less acceptable. I mean, obviously there will always be weird kids, and ones who want to be more than just friends. But we cant always go straight to assuming. I know from when my daughter was younger, most of the time the girls were much weirder than the boys. One of the times my daughter was changing for gym and her classmate (who was female) was staring at her while she was changing. Now, why is that anymore acceptable. I certainly think its not.
Just make sure the kids are sleeping in different beds, sleeping bags, etc. They should change in different rooms, or at separate times in private. And if someone says no they listen (this goes both ways). And if you truly dont feel comfortable, maybe because you dont like how the kid acts or you just dont feel comfortable, then dont say yes. It will likely come up again and you will go through the same thing again. Well all age eventually, not every boy is thinking about the things you assume. Just be safe, and set limits and boundaries for both children. There is nothing wrong, everythings in your head!
Ps there will be language in this comment..
Ok so there is a problem with a sex having a sleepover with the other sex??? Ok you guys have a problem.(I mean you parents) it's not like you can trust all the kids out there but 50/100 of kids accualy use their brains and well you have a problem with your parenting skills.. (no offense....
