[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the poster from the other thread with the 13 year old. I can assure you, it is NOT a stupid question and it is one we are grappling with now. DD has a friend who she says is her girlfriend and has wanted a sleepover. I discussed with the therapist and we agreed that this is not a good idea. Like a PP said, I don't want to "punish" her for coming out to us. But OTOH, if it were a boyfriend, I wouldn't allow a sleepover either. So we framed it as, we're taking her seriously, and that means no sleepovers with someone you are attracted to because it could lead to emotional and physical situations that you aren't yet mature enough to handle. And especially my DD because she is already really struggling emotionally.

Another PP mentioned what is your obligation to other parents and I am also not sure what to do there. She has not had a sleepover since she came out to us. But if she is invited by a friend (a platonic friend, not a girlfriend), do I have an obligation to tell the other parents? [/quote]

Thank you for the first part!

As to talking to the parents of a platonic friend, why?  Your daughter isn't interested, it's irrelevant.  And she's going through enough, you don't need to cause her more issues by outing her to the parents and friend when she hasn't chosen to do so herself.[/quote]
