[quote=Anonymous]My 15 yo DD informed me that she and her best friend are now dating. I was very supportive, told her I love and respect her and happy she found someone who cares about her and vice versa. I said this type of relationship is different, and I would need to figure out things like setting boundaries - it might very well mean no more sleepovers, for example.

The other mom, however, texted my DD while we were talking and said her daughter will not be coming over to our house ever again and took away the phone and laptop. She told my daughter that they could be friends, but there would be no "dating" - her quotes. My daughter was in tears and I was speechless. Please give me advice - I am thinking about inviting the mom to lunch to discuss. I like her daughter and cherish the girls' friendship. I too am not thrilled about the changed dynamics, but I want to be supportive and think, whether it is a girl or boy, you can't tell your kids who to love, and if they are gay, you can't change them by denying the relationship!  And let me be clear, I'm not thrilled because I think it is risky to turn a BFF friendship into a romantic one, not because it is a same-sex one. [/quote]
