no boyfriends in bedroom

Quote From: confused_mum

I have three children two girls and a boy, but the oldest who is 21 has been seeing a guy now for a couple of months.  The problem is everytime I try to take an interest she closes up and goes to her room.  This is my daughters first boyfriend and I just want to be there for her.  This is the first time I have had to deal with one of them getting a boyfriend or girlfriend and I have no clue what I am doing.

 

Everytime he comes round they go straight to her bedroom, I dont mind as I know that she doesn't want her younger sister hanging around as she hates it when she does it when her friends are around.  I'm worried about what is going on as I dont want her to do anything with out thinking about it or end up in trouble.  I started worring about her when her dad came home from work as he had forgotten his work and he saw them in the living room.  Lets just say my husband saw more of her boyfriend then he wanted to.  I dont think she knows that her father saw her but now i am worried about wha is going on especially when shes on her own with him.

 

I just would like her to know that I'm not going to try to break them up, but would like her to know that i'm here for her.  How can i get her to open up and not clam up everytime i mention the boyfriend word. 

one i would not allow a boyfriend in the bedroom,thats wrong i dont care what age, if they are under your roof, dont be to passive, you will have a granbaby to soon, and i dont think  your daughter is ready for that yet, even though she is 21, the reason  i believe that is you said it was her first boyfriend,,think abouty how your mom would do. stick with that,my mom was very strict.  any way good luck have them come out and play cards  and have popcorn and cold beverages, or some snacks. i believe if you aare careful you will not push her away and still be able to be close to her.
