DEAR ABBY: Our 14-year-old daughter is fortunate to have her dad and me as parents because we have a good, solid marriage.
Here's the dilemma: Our daughter has a close friend, "Jen," whose mother is single. She's a nice lady, but has had at least two live-in boyfriends within the last year that we know of.
Our daughter has been invited countless times to sleep over at Jen's house, but I feel it isn't the kind of atmosphere I want our teen-ager exposed to. As long as Jen's mom is living with a guy, I have a real problem with this.
I can't come up with a delicate way to explain my feelings without offending Jen's mom. My daughter is upset over this whole situation, but I've made it clear that her well-being is my No. 1 priority.
Am I being overly sensitive? Any input would be appreciated. -- FRUSTRATED MOM
DEAR MOM: I don't think so. If you prefer that your daughter not spend the night in a home with an unmarried couple, solve your problem by saying exactly that to all concerned. You're entitled to your moral convictions and you owe no one an apology for standing firm in defense of them.
