But, I would still not allow my children to stay at the house of a single
guy, or for that matter, a single woman, and that includes mine and my
wife's family.  I will not apologize for being a protective parent who
wishes only to keep my children safe..

 Being a parent makes you a totally different person than when you're
single.  We have just started allowing my oldest to spend the night with
certain friends, and that took meeting the parents and getting to know them
over a period of months.  And that is with two parents there and my oldest
knowing their oldest for over a year.

Again, sorry to offend you.
