“My granddaughter wants to sleep with me with her boyfriend”

Marcel Rofo’s point of view, child psychiatrist

The vast majority of families today accept the cohabitation of young couples under their roof. This is the case of your granddaughter’s parents as well as those of his friend. This does not prevent some members of these same families from showing themselves, in your words, “old game”.

Anyway, in the case of almost major young people, talking about “baby-couple” may mask your difficulty in accepting that Célia has grown. Personally think about the situation, Pierrette. What does it make for you that your granddaughter evolves towards a sexuality and autonomy that sign its passage to adulthood? Doesn’t that mean that the time when Célia was a young child spent-too quickly, no doubt, to your taste?

Through a discussion with her, you would enrich and update the links you have forged with your granddaughter. You do not ask me so much to reinforce yourself in your principles as to reassure yourself that you are not likely to jeopardize your relationship with Célia. My advice, Pierrette: you can tell her your reluctance, but be listening and being flexible.
