Would you allow your kids to have sex at EPCOT

[4chitlins]

Not in this lifetime

 

[Papa Deuce]

Not a chance if I am paying the freight. I know that they do it anyway, but I'm not gonna condone it AND pay for it.

 

[disykat]

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.

This attitude cracks me up. So, if my children decide to have sex at fourteen I'm supposed to provide a room for it and look the other way because they're going to do it anyway?

 

[disykat]

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!

Yuck! In case you didn't notice, they are talking about a seperate room here! Even with a seperate room, it doesn't mean they would have sex. It's a matter of having the opportunity.

Absolutely not!!!! I would not let my child do that, nor would mine ask. I don't even think that there is an actual age that is appropriate. I think the only time that would be appropriate would be if they were at least 20 or older and were already living together. Other than that.....no sleepy sex for them while I am around

But the thread isn't about those under the age of 18. The OP specifically stated that the "child" is 18+

 

[Cool-Beans]

I'm assuming that the kids are paying for their own room, so I really CAN'T say anything about it. Other than that, I can't imagine a situation in which a girlfriend would be invited along on a family vacation.

Never in a million years would I have suggested such a thing to DH's parents. Went out of our way to sleep seperately. Lord, I was embarrassed when they "caught" us (by a freak thing) when we were MARRIED!

 

[disykat]

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. .

Exactly. I don't expect to know whether my kids are virgins or not unless they decide to live together in which case I'll make an assumption. I've never discussed with my parents whether I was. They chose to hope we lived their values (which, btw, I share and did) or remain ignorant if we didn't. It wasn't their business and it won't be my business about my kids when they are adults. However, I would expect everyone to respect each others belief systems in their own homes - or on a vacation they are paying for.

no one will be having sex at epcot but me

I plan on providing my kids with cigarettes when they turn 12 (maybe sooner). I'll only give them filtered lights, of course. I figure if they're going to do it anyway, I'd prefer that they smoke safe!

 

[KelNottAt]

If they're over 18, I wouldn't object.

When DH and I were 20 (1984) and had been dating for about 18 months, he went on a vacation to WDW with me, my mom and step dad. All 4 of us shared one room at the Contemporary. DH and I had one bed, they had the other.

In retrospect, I think they did it that way on purpose. By having the 4 of us in the same room there was no way for us to, you know.

Again, we're not talking about 12-year-olds.

this reminds me of an odd conversation (one of many over the years) i had with my mom when i was in my mid 20's. mom and dad always had a policy that unmarrieds (no matter the age, housing status, whatever) did'nt sleep in the same bedroom. no big deal-just the house rules (applied to everyone including much older visiting relatives). so.....mom at this point in her life got highly addicted to watching oprah and other talk shows and one day she caught one on "accepting the alternate lifestyle of your gay child"-so in an attempt to be "enlightened" she starts this conversation over dinner with me about how she does'nt know if i am or am not gay, but if i am or ever should become how she would continue to unconditionaly love me....BUT not to plan on ever being allowed to sleep in her home in the same bedroom with a female lover because the until your married rule still applied i nearly choked to death on the food, i asked her what made her think i was gay-and she said she did'nt think i was, but "oprah said it's important for parents to talk about these things"

ah, gotta love our moms

anyone remember the episode of "roseanne" wherein they learn daughter darlene is pregnant by david? roseanne tells her husband "by the way if figure it she got knocked up somewhere on the sky ride between fantasy and tomorrowland on our wdw trip-how much cooler can it get?"

And IMO, even if we are talking older teens, so what? If you're buying them BC pills, or letting them date at home, I fail to see the big deal about vacation.

Of course I understand if your policy is no sex all the time, but if it's not, I don't get it.

My comments in response to the OP were posted earlier in the thread.

OK - I'm obviously missing something. Who's buying birth control pills?

 

[barkley]

mental note to self-if teen son or daughter (when the time comes) goes on wdw trip with s/o's parents make sure they have an emergency credit card to get a room of their own in case s/o's parents "just assume" and book them a room alone together (dating a person and being thrust into an away from home, alone in the same bedroom situation is very different-the child who is not your own may be placed in a very uncomfortable situation, before i made any arrangement of this nature i would talk to both of the "kids" individualy-and if you're not comfortable talking openly about it, you probably should'nt be booking them a room that may facilitate something else you will be even more uncomfortable talking about....9 months later).

 

[cardaway]

Just using it as an example of somebody obviously being clued in to their child's sexual behavior (assuming it's not one of those hormone things) but then saying they shouldn't be sleeping in the same bed.

 

[Dopey Sharon]

We (DH, me, DD,25 and her BF also 25) are all going to WDW next month. We are staying at POP in two rooms...connecting ones, hopefully.

My DH really doesn't want to share a room with the BF, so DD and her BF will be sharing a room. They are paying their own way this trip.

This past December, we got a Grand Villa at OKW. DH and I had the master bedroom, downstairs, DD had a bedroom and her BF had the other bedroom, both upstairs. We were all in the same unit, but we had no idea what was going on up there.

So, to answer the OP's question...yes.
