Mixed Gender Sleepovers

I guess you could call me a liberal parent. Maybe a very liberal parent. Last night I let my daughter’s male friend spent the night at our house. They (my daughter, her female friend and the guy) were shocked when I said yes, especially since I’d said no before. It was a different situation then and wouldn’t have worked, but this was much different so I could say yes.

I confess, if I didn’t know he was gay then I wouldn’t have allowed it but he is very much so. I knew no hanky-panky was going to take place while I slept so I figured, “Why not?” He could sleep on the futon in the living room and the girls would sleep in my bed, as usual.

They stayed up much later than I did and when I stumbled out of bed this morning I discovered he was on the futon, my daughter was on the love seat and her other friend was curled up on the floor. Apparently they just crashed where they were. Not exactly the way I’d planned but good enough.

It was a very different experience, but it worked out really, really well. They had a great time, he and my daughter bonded while playing Naruto on the PS2, and all were very well behaved. I definitely would let him spend the night again.
