Why am I “clutching my pearls”?

From one awesome Mumma to another… My 17 year old (year 12) daughter has been dating a boy for around 2 months (she’s known him through her work for around a year.) She asked him out on their first date “Good for HER!” and they’ve dated regularly since then. We’ve met him a couple of times so far. She’s recently asked us, when can he start to sleep over or can she stay at his place? I’m hesitant because… well… I don’t know why! We talk about safe sex & consent often (much to her discomfort!). She’s always followed the rules, she study’s hard, works part time etc etc etc. I feel like there’s an element of “good girls don’t sleepover at boys houses” that’s holding me back… What should I do? Is this internalised misogyny?

Qs from book

Hi Em and Michael! This is a bit of a personal one for Em, but I’ve been curious about this since reading your book years ago and never hearing you speak about them. Are you friends with Lyndon anymore? And are you close to your sister?
