Question
I just read your answer to someone about sleeping arrangements on vacation. You wrote, "If it solves a problem of space or expense, a father can sleep with his teenage daughter in the same bed, and a mother with her teenage son." I would have thought that the mother with the daughter and the father with the son would have been the expected answer. Or was this a general statement about parents being permitted to sleep with their teenagers, of either sex?
Answer
Yes, this a general statement about parents being permitted occasionally to sleep in the same bed with their teenagers even (!) of the opposite gender, like on vacation.
