Should a single parent have another adult who is the same sex as their child teach them instead? Why or why not?
(in my scenario, the child is comfortable with their parent teaching them)

No it is not wrong for a parent to be a parent ! Remember , if you don`t teach your child Godly morals`, values`, virtues`and principles`, then the ACLU & planned parenthood will teach him theirs`; along with a failed government backed school agenda that will teach them the world`s failed lifestyle !!!!

I think its perfectly fine for the parent to have the talk with them, it will honestly make you much closer. Just let them know that so and so of the same sex is open to answer any questions that they have, or maybe just have that person mention it, like you knoe i'm here for you if you have any questions at all. Because like it or not a little boy will be more comfortable with a man about some thing and the same thing for a girl. But I thinks its good to have an open relationship with your child regardless of the sex. Just make them feel comfortable to ask you anything at all, no matter how embarassing it is. Good Luck

Its my personal opinion that as the parents we need to be the ones who teach our children no matter how trusted the other person is. Its most important that we are open and honest when talking on this subject. Sex should not be thought of a dirty and bad but as spiritual and powerful when done in the right way: between husband and wife.

It is the PARENTS responsibility, regardless of gender. They need todl at least the basics early enough anyhow that the parents gender should not make the child uncomfortable. If somebody else does the teaching, do we know 100% that they are beign told FACTS and not what that person THINKS are the facts, or just the part that that person is comfortable talkign about?

This is your child. Do you feel comfortable talking to him about the birds and the bees? If you do go for it. Don't ask a male relative or close friend to help you out. You should be there for the talk though.

I think it really depends on your relationship with the child. If it is a comfortable one, then I think you could do it. However, the child might have questions that are better suited for a person of the same sex. Is there a friend, teacher, coach, etc... that would be willing to field some questions if there are any?

I was aware of it from about 8 or so. I don't think my mum taught me much - not that she wasn't open about it - but my primary school was very comfortable teaching sex-ed. Call me arrogant, but I know more than most of my friends and - so I believe - have had more experience than them too. I really don't understand how anyone can be shy, self-conscious or prudish about it. It's the one thing humans are actually meant to do, I think.

it is every parents duty single or not to teach their children all they can.
my mother taught me about the birds and the bees and both my wife and myself have had the sex talk with our daughter.
it's all part of being a good parent.
when i had the talk with my daughter i was a little uncomfortable but i got through it. what you need to do is just be honest and asnwer any questions they have the best you can.

Congratulations, soon to be mommy!
It is best to establish a relationship with your children, no matter what the sex, where they may comfortably speak to you, and you to them. You are family, and no outsider should break that bond. It is parental responsibility.
I know, I raised a son and a daughter alone. The time came to talk more in detail, and sometimes I felt my face turning a little flushed with my son, but he felt the openess and honesty and he felt ok asking mom.
I have to lugh when at one point, he said, "It's ok mom, you can tell me, I am your son!"
I guess that about says it all! :)

Teach your own kid. As long as you tell them the truth about everything and distinguish between right and wrong then it doesn't matter the gender. It's your job as a parent to do so, not rely on anyone else. Good luck =]
