Would you tell friend her daughter has a girlfriend?

[Anonymous]

A few of our friends have kids who all attend the same high school. My children attended a different high school. One friend said her child told her about my friend’s daughter and her girlfriend.

I personally would want to be made aware as a parent. I would also want to know if my daughter had a boyfriend.

Are both kids around the same age? As long as it's not like "the art teacher is my girlfriend" I'd absolutely stay out of it.

Why in the world would you think you should get involved?

You are sick

No way!

No. It would not be my business. Parents are either trusted by their kids or they are not.

You should not be the one to out this child if the relationship has not been disclosed. You also only have gossip as evidence. And high school relationships can be short. It might be over by the time you had a chance to mention it.

+1.

Unless it’s some type of inappropriate or dangerous situation, this isn’t something you need to bring to their attention.

This, obviously.

Presumably you can find other things to gossip about. Or just complain about your husband. Don't make drama for others.

I would want to know if this was my child. I guess all of you would not want to know.

There is a difference between want to know and need to know.

I would want to know if my child was in a relationship. However, I also had someone who I thought was a friend lose their mind when they found out their daughter was a lesbian. And in general, unless the situation is unsafe or otherwise warrants someone needing to know, I'm against outing anyone.

You are not in your right mind, why would you even contemplate that? It’s not even information you are certain of. The child of the first friend became aware of the girl having a girlfriend. It’s not known how, if it’s hearsay, what it means, if it’s serious, if a romantic relationship etc. She tells her mom. Her mom tells you. Now you want to take that to the other mom.

Gossiping is disgusting in general, gossiping about children and teens is even more so. If I’m the girl’s parent I’d be very annoyed you brought that up.

Stay out of it.

This is a very stupid way to think. You have to be able to distinguish between what you would WANT to know and what's worth overriding your kid's decision not to tell you.
