Daughter aged 10 and her girlfriend

[getalong]

My dd aged 10 just told me she has a girlfriend. They’ve stayed overnight each others houses recently where obviously thought nothing of it until this news. Should i tell the gf’s parents?

She didnt divulge what they got up to, i doubt anythings happened. It sounds to me she’s just trying to figure herself out and only information she gave extra was she liked both boys and girls.

I just want to make sure im doing the right thing by telling the other girls parents or is this nothing at their age?

Help and/or advice would be helpful. Any further info, ask me but thats the core relevance i think.

Thanks team.

Do remember that all the stuff about not letting boys sleep over is generally to prevent pregnancy.

Just let them figure it all out. They’ll probably just hold hands a lot. They’ve got years to figure things out.

I’d also be careful talking to the other girl’s parents. If they are uncomfortable with this, they will blame you/your daughter. Wait until you know they know and you know that they are not wildly homophobic.

Concern based on similar reaction when friends were 15-ish and even 25-ish.

I wouldn’t say anything to her parents; that’s her choice. If you don’t like the sleep overs then you don’t have to continue them although I’m not sure at 10 that there’s much to worry about

Leave it. It'll likely blow over anyway, they're 10.
How much does your DD know about "having a girlfriend"
Kissing? Hugging? Holding hands?
You might be surprised how innocent it all is.
If you are uncomfortable with the sleep overs then prehaps limit or stop those, or have them at your house.
I wouldnt involve any other parents. That's for thier DD to figure out.

Don’t talk about it with the other parents. You might cause her problems if she hasn’t come out. In this situation I would personally just engineer them meeting at yours so you can keep an eye on them.

I would make sure that she knows about consent (in an age appropriate way) if she doesn’t already so that if anything does go on (could easily happen when they are playing during the day too) nobody feels pressured.
Otherwise I’d leave her be and keep the lines of communication open.

No, don’t say anything. The other girl has a right to talk to her parents in her own way and in her own time. It’s not your place to ‘out’ her.
