I am a single father of a 14 year old "out" high school teenage girl. I am perplexed as to how to apply traditional model "dating" rules to this situation. I have two grown straight children and the rules were standard. But my house has been the "slumber party" for the last couple of years for both her straight, lesbian and bi friends (some are out some are not). My daughter's girlfriend has parents who do not know her status. The big question - What are the sleep over rules? Straight girls sleep together all the time. But do I let her straight friends share her bed but not her "girlfriends"? I am so confused but want to be fair AND proper.

i would suggest keeping easy access if her girlfriend is sleeping over at her house and is sleeping in the same bed. it is the same thing with any couple who does this. remember it is your child and that you decide if she does or does not deserve this kind of privacy when she is with her significant other. your the parent here, just do what you think is the best option. go with your gut.
