DEAR ABBY: I recently completed my first year of college. During the year, I met my current boyfriend. My goal this summer is to have him meet my parents. Because we live six hours apart, I thought it would be best if he stayed over at my parents' house -- in the guest room, of course.
My father objected to it, but said that if it were deemed acceptable by you, he would reconsider. What do you say, Abby? Is there really a problem with having one's boyfriend sleep over at one's parents' house? -- CURIOUS CO-ED
DEAR CURIOUS CO-ED: If the sleeping accommodations are as you have described -- and as long as there isn't any hanky-panky going on in the wee hours of the morning -- I see no problem with it.
