[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 lgbt teens. I let them have sleepovers. It seems cruel to isolate them. I guess I agree with your DH. I’ve raised them with my values. [b]They know my stance on topics related to drugs and sex. [/b]They’re good kids and follow rules in general, so I hope they’re respectful of these rules too.

The thing is, if they want to have sex, prohibiting sleepovers won’t prevent them. If I know they have a specific boyfriend/girlfriend, we don’t allow one on one sleepovers, but we’d allow a slumber party/group party. That’s our compromise. [/quote]

Because no kid has ever gone against their parents stance regarding drugs and sex. [/quote]

No, but what can you do besides arm them with knowledge and values and hope they make good decisions when presented with choices? If it’s not a sleepover, it’s going to happen elsewhere.

Seriously question: What have you found to work? Punishments, threats, micromanaging? That makes everyone in my family unhappy. Something else? [/quote]
