as you know my 11 year old (almost 12) is in love for the first time bless him,well he is going out for a meal for her birthday tonight with her family and Rhys wants to invite her here one of the days so i was thinking of inviting her sunday for a roast dinner and maybe get them some films,what restrictions would you set that means im still in control not encouraging to much but most of all not spoiling there fun
 
Only 'rule' I can think of at the moment would be regarding the bedrooms. I'd either not allow them to be in there, or at the least, wouldn't allow closed doors. You would know which rule was more appropriate for your son. Please don't think I'm suggesting they would get up to anything - I'm jut a big believer in transparency. Also, I think of what I wouldn't want my child doing at someone elses house, and lay down rules/conditions accordingly when we have kids visiting in our home
 
i agree with you thats what i was basically asking,i think we have decided to invite her for dinner,bring the xbox downstairs so they can watch films and play xbox and go out if they want to,dont want to encourage the use of the bedrooms even tho i dont think anything would happen
 
karen i totally agree with that - if you set the boundary of no bedroom while everything is innocent, when they get older, that expectation of no bedrooms will already be established.

as for movies, i'd go with something funny they could watch together.

sounds fun :)
 
thanks rebecca,gonna get them a selection so they can choose and maybe some movie treats to go with it

He has made me proud tonight,he went out with them and i gave him some money and said to offer it them they declined and at the end Rhys asked again if they are sure they didnt want his money and thanked them for having him
 
All sounds like rules I have too. No bedrooms at that age, some at later ages but not with the door closed.

I didn't sit with them when they watched movies, played games, just sat in another room within hearing distance (just in case).
