[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me the biggest issue is the high school brother. I was molested by my best friend's older brother in early elementary school and I will never let my DD or DS in a home with an older brother. You would be amazed how common my story is.[/quote]

do you have a son?  are you OK with families forbidding their daughters from coming to your house because he exists? If not, would you be OK with it? Just trying to understand the logic. Millions of girls have older brothers, it just seems ...so paranoid to never allow your daughter in a home where there is an older brother.

FYI I was molested by a friend's dad. But it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to forbid my daughter to go to homes where there is a Dad! WTF?!

I'm wondering about this too. I mean, do what you want, but it never even occurred to me that parents of my daughter's friends might reject a playdate simply because my son exists! How degrading. [/quote]

This. My 12 year old DD has a 14 year old brother (and a father). I would be so humiliated if one of DD's friends was not allowed to come to our house because of her brother and father (especially since her brother goes out of his way to avoid giggling girls).  Even worse, DD would be devastated and would not understand.  It has never occurred to me to tell DD that she cannot be friends with someone or to interfere with one of her friendships.  But this parent would do it. [/quote]
