Are Co-ed Sleepovers Appropriate?

Are boy-girl slumber parties a sign of the times, or time for a parent to put their foot down?

These boy-girl overnighters are not all that uncommon and many parents have probably found themselves debating with their kids about spending the night with someone of the opposite sex.

Many times, these situations involve groups of friends, boys and girls, who all want to spend the night in the same place.

So, parents, does it make a difference? Will you let your kids participate in these sleepovers if there's a larger group of kids? Or are we losing sight (and, perhaps, sleep) when it comes to our teens?
