[quote=Anonymous]How old are these kids? Rules for 17 should be different than for 14. But it never hurts to be a little more restrictive at first bc you can always dial back. First relationships often have no brakes and it’s important to slow them down, which is also helping model healthy behavior to them - healthy relationships do not go from zero to together 24/7. Make sure your kid spends times with friends without girlfriend and also time with activities and hobbies without her, which usually means “hey you csn hang out with Larla 3x a week” or whatever. As for non binary or lgbtq I do think it’s important to know if pregnancy is a concern, just bc that’s a whole discussion and prevention step. But also two girls - ok ok non binary but born girl in that case is usually just a not as feminine girl, which in our day just meant a tomboy or lesbian, really all this non binary stuff is born from Gen Z’s overly rigid gender roles but I digress - parents often change the rules they would have for their daughters when dating girls than if it was boys, and that’s a mistake. Don’t allow sleepovers just bc it’s two girls, bc it causes things to get too intense too quickly which in my experience two girl relationships are prone to. Ever heard the joke about what lesbians bring to a second date (a moving truck) - it’s true ! Boys usually are better about keeping some personal space with friends and hobbies so watch out and keep having discussions about what a healthy relationship looks like. [/quote]
