Would you allow your kids to have sex at EPCOT

These are ADULTS we're talking about right?

Does the fact that they're paying their way make any difference. If you don't believe they should be having sex full stop, then wny does the fact they're paying for the room make any difference?

I dont have a problem with adults doing as they please. As far as them having sex in the room who doesn't it is a vacation after all! The key word here is that they are adults!

I am 25 and my boyfriend is a few years older then me, we are going to my grandparents 80th birthday party and they are paying for a hotel room for just us just as they are the others in the family. In fact when we first flew back to where I am from a few years ago my parents got us our own hotel room then as well.

when I was 18 we would have just waited until Mom and Dad had left the room and snuck back. We were really good sneakers.

Glad they're not doing it in the World Showcase. Or should I say in Future World!

Well, it depends. Are they supporting themselves, paying for the trip themselves, and on their own in every sense of the word? If so, there's not much I can do to stop it. If it's on my dime, then no way, no how.

What she said.

I'm another one who would not pay for those sleeping arrangements. If I pay, I get to make the rules. I don't care how old they are, I would not be paying for an unmarried couple to share a room. Sure, as adults they can make thier own decisions and I'll keep my mouth shut - but in my home or on my dime, my belief system will be respected.

I'm not going to tell adults what they can do in their own space/on their own dime - but I do get to control my space/my dime.

How 18+ are we talking? Like a 19 year old with a new boyfriend? Or a 24 year old who has been in a relationship with the guy for a while?

My parents didn't let me stay in the same bed with DH at their house until we were married! (Even though we lived together in our own apartment.) We got to share a hotel room on family trips once we got engaged, but my brother always got the other bed. It was more a matter of me respecting them than them enforcing rules on us.

True funny story..first trip back to my parents house after the honeymoon, DH took his suitcase down the hall and into the guest bedroom. My dad yelled, "It's okay, you can sleep with her now! Have lots of babies!"

The difference for me is in facilitating a lifestyle choice that I do not support. I have my own moral code that I adhere to. In my home, I have the right to ask people to adhere to it as well. They then have the choice to either come into the home or stay away. Either way the choice is really theirs. i think that a vacation that I am paying for is an extension of my home. My money is providing a temporary home, therefore I can impose my own moral code. If the young adults would like to come and have me pay, they must follow my rules. If they choose to pay for themselves they must follow their own.

When I was 19 and my boyfriend (at the time) was 18, we went on a DCL cruise and WDW with my parents- seperate beds. 4 months later for my birthday we went on a DCL cruise and WDW with his family - seperate beds. 3 months after that him and I went alone on a DCL cruise, he was 19 and I was 20- take a guess, NOT seperate beds even though we thought we were so sly in telling our parents that the beds were seperate, they weren't stupid!!!! We were in a serious relationship and had been going together for over a year at that point.

I AGREE. AN 18 YO IS CONSIDERED AN ADULT AND THIS BEING SAID THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS. NOT SSSAYING THAT THE THOUGHT PROCESS OF AN 18 YO & AN 40 YO IS THE SAME... BUT BOTH ADULTS NON THE LESS.

IT HAS BEEN MY EXPERIENCE THAT IF SOMEONE WANTS TO HAVE SEX....THEY ARE GOING TO WHETHER THEIR PARENTS LIKE IT OR NOT! IF THIS IS A CONCERN ON THE PARENTS PART THEN KEEP YOUR DAUGHTER LOCKED UP... DON'T BRING THE SO ON YOUR FAMILIES VACATION! THAT SHOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM!

A month after my 18th birthday, my parents took my boyfriend (now DH) and I to Disney. It was a late birthday present. We had been together for 3 1/2 years. We were going to stay at the Fort Wilderness Cabins but I didn't like how much you had to take the internal busses unless you had a golf cart, so we switched to All Star Sports. I was kind of surprised they let us stay in the same room, but they did. And I don't think that qualifies them to be bad parents.

I think they preferred that anyways, they wanted their alone time too!!!

They didn't even want to tour the parks with us!!! I would call them every morning and my dad would just say, "Ashley, we don't have to go everywhere with you!!!" We also drove up alone, (We were born and raised in South Florida, so it's only 3 hours away), and a night before my parents even arrived.

 

[crazyforgoofy]

18+? Then yes. Less than 18, no.

Actually, it wouldn't be that cut and dried...I would take other things into account too, such as the length of time they'd been dating, whether they shared an apt in "real life" (ie, not on vacation), if they were graduated from high school (some 18 yos are still in high school).

So, assuming 18+, appropriate length of relationship, living arrangement when not on vaca, and level of schooling, then probably. I think there comes a point when their lives are theirs.

Now, ask me what my DH would say...

Yep, what Mal said. Plus they'd pay for the room themselves. If they're old enough to be "together" they're old enough to pay for the bed.

If they're having sex, they're going to do it wherever. If you make them sleep in seperate rooms they will find somewhere else to do it. Maybe in the bathroom at the actual Epcot. I think it's so funny that people think they can prevent their "children" from having sex.

 

[minkydog]

As suggested in another thread...

Assume you are were going on a family vacation to Disney with your unmarried (18+) son/daughter and their signficiant other. They suggest a sleeping arrangement that would put the two of them alone in their own room. Would you go for it?

No. If we're all going as a family, no way. It goes against our family values and we still have a teenage daughter to consider. I would be against this arrangement even if they paid their own way, if the family was there to witness it. What they do by themselves is their business, however. I wouldn't say anything about that.

Would you allow your kids to have sex at EPCOT

No, but maybe on Tom Sawyer's Island at the MK.

Heck, I still think I was immaculately conceived because I can't (or won't) picture my parents.

I guess this is one of the few things I'm still old fashioned about -- I'm not stupid, I know there's a good chance my kids will be having sex by then. But I don't have to facilitate it.

Only if they promise to find the paintbrushes hidden on the island!

 

[Marseeya]

I honestly wouldn't have a problem with it as long as both of them were over 18.
