One parent is looking for advice on handling a sleepover situation with their bisexual teen. Should they allow same-sex sleepovers?
advice column, it's easy to know how to handle a sleepover for a heterosexual kid:"the rule is 'no opposite-sex sleepovers,'" and if the child was gay"the rule would be 'no same-sex sleepovers.'” But what should the parent do for a teen who is bi?
"If your kid is still having 'sleepovers' and calling them that, they're probably not having sex," another commenter added."If they want to be having sex, they will find places and times to do it regardless of whether you give them a safe, controlled environment to do it in. Teens explore sexually with each other. It's natural. It isn't shameful or sinful."
Columnist Jamilah Lemieux agreed; it's nice the parent is trying to be considerate of the child, but this might be too much.your desire to be equitable in how household rules are created and enforced," she wrote."Alas, equity is often elusive in a world that will present challenges to your bisexual teen that their siblings simply won’t have to face."
