Would you allow your kids to have sex at EPCOT

[horseshowmom]

To answer the OP's original question, my answer would be no.

DD's BF is welcome to accompany us anytime we got to FL (hasn't so far, her best friend goes), but only because we rent a house with lots of room. I (and her dad) wouldn't even agree to having him in our room if it were only a hotel room, and I definitely wouldn't agree to them sharing a room alone.

Fortunately, it's not a problem I'll have. DD would never even ask that question (nor would the BF). Not only would we be unhappy with it, his parents would feel the same. She's almost 19, and he just turned 23. Both of them would consider it a matter of respect.

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?

EDIT - OK, so it's not exactly *at* EPCOT, but you get the idea

yes, I think I would. assuming they were with their significant other, not bringing one night stands back to the room, and assuming they are 18 plus.

 

[pearlieq]

Ok, I do refuse to believe that every single one of the "no way!" people were virgins until they got married.

That being said, for me it would depend on a lot of factors. Is the kid 18 or 25? Is this a long-term SO or the flavor of the week? Is there space, logistically, for them to have their own room?

I probably wouldn't go out of my way to get an 18 year old and her boyfriend their own room, but if my 25 year old daughter was bringing her boyfriend on the trip, I can't imagine not treating them like they're in an adult relationship. It would just be rude and disrespectful.

That would be it depends. At 18 no way. At 30 yes (of course I would hope she would be married by then ). If it was her fiancee, absolutely yes.

All depends....

[Paging Tom Morrow]

Why would I tell my legally grown daughter she can't have sex with her partner?

Is it possible to illegally grow a daughter?

 

[NeverlandClub23]

I'm 24 unmarried (I live with my parents) going with my DBF (22) to WDW this November and we have our own room. My parents are going with us. My dad's not crazy about it but I'm paying for my own room and I would go to Disney regardless if they still went or not. When my DBF visits from NC we sleep in different rooms. When I visit him his parents let us sleep in the same bed.

If I were younger and my parents were paying for the trip they would never pay for a room for us to share. In fact my ex-fiance (when he was still my fiance) and I went on vacation with my parents and he slept on the couch in the room and I slept in the bed by myself. If my parents are paying for the trip or they're the reason I'm going I respect their wishes. If I'm paying and I would go regardless if they came then I do whatever I want.

If I had my own kids I would never pay for their own room if they were under the age of 18. If they were older than 18 I might pay for their room if they paid for everything else. I don't want to pay for a bunch of people to go on vacation with me!

I mainly want our own room for being comfortable. I could careless about having sex for that week. Having four adults in one room is very uncomfortable (my 27 year old brother and I shared a room at WL with my parents last December and it was a little tight). My parents both snore A LOT and I know my DBF would be very uncomfortable sleeping with my half naked snoring dad. I just really would like to have our own privacy and space but still be able to hang out with my parents during the day.

It doesn't matter whether we were virgins or not. I certainly would not have expected my parents to allow and facilitate a sleepover with a BF while on vacation. They weren't stupid--they knew we were "friendly" just like I knew when DS19 started sleeping with his GF. Out of respect for them, I never mentioned it or put them down for it. However, I would not want my DS19 camping in the next room with his GF when his little sister is with us.
And as for when he's 30,45,60? The rule still applies. If they want to sleep together, they'll have to go to a motel or get married. It is a matter of respecting OUR values.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Ok, I do refuse to believe that every single one of the "no way!" people were virgins until they got married.

However, I didn't flaunt it in front of my parents.

And for me, it goes back to whether or not they are supporting themselves. If they are on their own I will respect that, but if they are still my dependents, they have to respect my values and I won't condone it happening under my nose even though I'm not stupid enough to think that things can't happen.

As a 29 year old who went with the family on vacation to WDW with her fiancé when she was 22, my answer is still ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!!

Sorry, family vacation does not give a good excuse to be off with the b/f. My now DH slept in the room with my brother. I had one with my sister and my dad shared a room with his sister.

I will say I was not a virgin then and truthfully that doesn't matter. If it is a family vacation, you sure as heck can hold off from sex for one week.

I wouldn't have asked to share a room with my then fiancé and I wouldn't have been comfortable doing that to my family either.

I will add, if they are going and paying their own way, I do feel they have every right to spend the night in their own room. To me a family vacation though, means that the kids probably aren't doing that though. I know I didn't pay a lot since my dad invited us and I was too broke in college

 

[froglady]

We brought DD's BF to WDW with us; he shared a room with DS.

The previous Christmas, I paid for their overnight trip to Universal without us. One room only.

So I'm of the as long as they don't flaunt it in my face persuasion.

 

[Chipperdini]

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?

1. "family vacation" + "they suggest" = I'd have hoped they'd have more respect for the family on a family vacation than to even ask.

2. Is said son/daughter still under my roof and/or supported financially by me? Then answer = No.

3. Am I paying/providing for the vacation (even apart from the sleeping arrangements)? Then answer = No.

4. Is said son/daughter living on his/her own and supporting his/herself financially, and is he/she paying/providing for his/her vacation? Then answer = Yes. They are adults and can choose their sleeping arrangements and any consequences thereof. But refer #1.

I AGREE WITH HOLDING OF ON THE HORIZONTAL MOMBO FOR THE LENGTH OF THE FAMILY TRIP...I MYSELF WOULD FEEL A BIT UNCOMFORTABLE KNOWING MY PARENTS WERE NEXT DOOR! HECK, I HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 6 YRS, HAVE 2 KIDS AND STILL WOULD FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE!

 

[curiouser]

Okay, some of these answers are making me feel like a tramp!!

I'm 25 now, but my first trip to WDW with S/O was when I was newly 23. We'd been dating for about 6 months. We went with his parents, aunt&uncle and their two kids. They had a room and we had a room with his parents. There was no way his mother was going to make me so uncomfortable as to force me into sharing a bed with her. She was fully aware of our ages and that we were mature adults, and every WDW trip since (3) we've shared a room with his parents and we've shared a bed.

BTW... just because you're sharing a bed doesn't mean you're having sex. You've got to be pretty darn quick and quiet to be able to pull that off with your parents in the next bed. Get real, folks! They're not going to have sex while you're sleeping and if they do want do eeet, they'll come back during the day or find some bathroom somewhere!

 

[LukenDC]

18 or older, then it is none of the parents' business. If young adults are old enough to die in Iraq, then they are old enough to make their own sexual decisions. Now, if the parents are paying for the room that is another story.

 

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

If they're both 18+, there isn't anything I can do about it. IIt's time at age 18 for them to make their own decisions and live with them. It isn't like they wouldn't know the consequences. I wouldn't pay for their room, however, if that's the way they wanted it. You want to play house, you pay for the house, and that includes hotel rooms on trips.

 

[ChubbyHubby]

Of course, I've never had "Relations" while visiting Disney and married to my DW. *sigh*.

We are getting an extra room for the kids for our trip this August.

[SadieDog]

Yes, it's fine. They are adults and it's none of my business to tell them who they can and can't sleep with. I want my kids as adults to feel comfortable with who they are and not have to "pretend" when they are around me.

 

[RachaelRol]

I'm of the uh-uh persuasion.

DH and I are married 8 years and even when we visit the, no wahooing at mom and dad's.... Dh gets mad but too bad unti lwe get home....

Its just weird for me. If my son was completely on his own and brought his DG on vacation with us and they had thier own room, I guess I'd be okay.

Although I'd request our rooms not be connecting or close to eachother becuase I don't want to think or hear him wahooing and I don't want him hearing us wahooing....

Luckily DS is only four!!

 

[paigevz]

Well, under 21, definitely not, I just still think they're children at that age.

Over 21, if living together already, yes. Otherwise, I guess I'd have to be there to figure that one out. Probably yes.

 

[boomhauer]

Over 18 = Adult = Their choice.
Under 18 = Minor = Your choice.
