I remember doing the exact same thing with swimsuits on with my best friend. We were a little younger probably 13 years old. I think it’s important for adolescents to have a safe environment to experiment, but also to teach them that dating is not just about sex,” Collins said. “Simply having everybody at friends’ sleepovers reminds teenagers that there are lots of fun activities you can do.” At one point, Billinghurst’s son was dating her daughter’s friend. Billinghurst said that her children are allowed to have sleepovers with anyone they choose — including their love interests — but if they’re dating the person who is sleeping over, then they can’t share the bedroom. And as a general rule, the bedroom doors stay open.

Should We Let Our Bisexual Daughter Have Sleepovers?

That’s absolutely true—and you can add “straight and cisgender” to “white” and apply this idea to queer representation in books as well.Full disclosure: Our kids have always had sleepovers with both boys and girls since they’ve always been friends with both. I don’t imagine that they’re suddenly going to turn from Doritos and pingpong to cunnilingus, but if they did? Then I would trust that’s what the kids were ready for, regardless of anybody’s gender. For example, if your house has a no public display of affection rule, make sure it applies equally, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. My daughter is 14, and she has a very close friends, also 14, who is often at ours for sleepovers and my daughter goes to theirs too. I sort of know her family, we're not close or anything but they seem like normal good people and their daughter is a nice, well mannered girl. Well this is a difficult one for me so I thought maybe someone here can help with advice, previous experience etc. Quite a few parents have discovered after the fact that the best friend who is always sleeping over is actually a girl or a boyfriend, Hakanson said.

Our 16-year-old daughter came out as bi. We’re totally supportive of this, but are unsure how to handle sleepovers. Do we continue to allow them with girls but not boys because that seems right even though it makes no logical sense? Expand the rules to include boys, because what difference does it make? Ban them altogether and win the Meanest Parents award? Help! It’s important not to make assumptions about anyone’s sexual orientation or gender identity based on biological assumptions or outdated stereotypes, Wells said.I'm a bit confused. I do want to allow my daughter to have her own experiences as she grows up, but to put it simply, I don't want her to do anything stupid that could get her into trouble. But today, as fewer kids are identifying as exclusively heterosexual, some parents are questioning what to do about those gatherings. Now last night she was here for a sleepover, and my daughter came and asked me if they were allowed to take a bath together, swimsuits on. I said no, because it took me by surprise and I had an instinctive "I need to understand this better" reaction. I was a teenager once but let's face it, that was 25 years ago and a different generation. Five short documentaries that capture the diversity & rich history of its deeply rooted LGBTQ+ community.

Mother and daughter playing with each other in the living room

Holly Billinghurst is a parent with a 13-year-old pansexual daughter and a 14-year-old transsexual, bisexual son. And while parents should talk to their own children about sex and sexual orientation, they should never out their child — even when it relates to the sleepover, Glashow said. Typically, there’s a shift to single-gender sleepovers when children are over the age of 6 as they start to mature, learn more about bodies and become curious.For example, are you worried that your daughter won’t be able to tell the difference between friendship feelings and sexual feelings? Between a carpeted rumpus room and a gay bar? That she will, as a result, hit on all her guests while they’re painting each other’s toenails or playing Monopoly? I know you’re not, but that’s the homophobic stereotype — the same one that kept gay people out of the military for so long — that you’d just be minding your own business and before you know it, some gay somebody would be snaking a hand into your straight cargo shorts. (Dream on, hetero narcissists.) There was just one rule for Katie Garner’s three children when it came to sleepovers: They were all single gender (her sons, 8 and 11, only invited boys and her daughter, 14, only invited girls). She also allows them to have sleepovers with anyone they choose, and they’ve chosen to have coed and same-sex sleepovers.
