If you tell people, you get bullied. Really harshly. Also, I hate my mom's girlfriend more than anything. She's making me hate my mom.

The daughter is 10, some children experiance maturing faster then others and right now she just may not have a comfort level about the whole thing, especially if she is straight. Having read the role playing idea, I think what may be better is for them to ask the daughter why she felt she had to say what she did. The parents may suggest another way to answer the friend's questions. A perfect one would be to turn the question back by the daughter asking them what they think.( do they?) Or is to ask if their parents sleep in the same room or bed. But I sense there is some sort of non comfort level happening for the daughter in this case.
