I have a question and I want to get yall view on it. My son having a sleepover with my bf nephew and niece. The boys are 10 the girl is 7. I said the niece can sleep on a blow up mattress in our room because she doesn't need to be in the same room as the boys. My bf said im thinking too deep into it. What's your view on it

I think ur right boys will have some curiousness at some point and I wouldn’t want to take a chance u know but that’s just me and besides u can’t be to careful

Not thinking too deep into it at all. I think thats a good idea. Kids are definitely too curious.

My parents always separated girls and boys when we had sleep overs. My mom would say boys fart in their sleep and girls dont have to suffer through that, 😂. Now I know that she did it because she wanted to be cautious to not give us or them any ideas out of being curious.

I would do the same thing. Youre just trying to make sure everyone is safe and comfortable. That should always be the priority with children.

I remember being harassed by boys when I was that age. You are not overthinking!

I agree with you completely

See us woman think with our brains and some men well think with their other head lol. But you are correct that is how I feel fully. Now a days boys and girls are becoming more curious at ages way to young and it doesn’t hurt to be careful. Bc if something did happen the blame would be on you guys.

Honestly, separating genders makes little difference if something were to happen. It's part of the reason I don't allow sleepovers but WHATEVER the sleep arrangement I would be speaking to your children about them calling you ASAP if they in anyway feel uncomfortable by anyone else whilst there. That doesn't matter if it's an adult, another child etc they call you. Let them know you will be right there if you are needed.
