Sleepover Issue--------PLEASE HELP!
My daughter is 7 years old and has been invited to her bestfriends' birthday sleepover. My husband and I don't seem to agree on how to handle this. I don't want her to go, unless I can sleep over as well. My DH says I need to let her grow up? I know the little girls' mother, there is no father. Both the mom and daughter are really sweet people. What do i do? Should I let her go or not? BTW, my daughter isn't needy and very self sufficient and strong.
help, help, help. this is so hard for me. I hate the fact that they have to grow up and be independant.

I would let her go. Just let your daughter, and the other mother, know that if at any time she's unhappy or wants to come home she can call you and you will come and get her.

Re: Sleepover Issue--------PLEASE HELP!
Since I became a Mom to Ava, 2 years ago, I always thought that I would let my child do sleep-overs. I was always allowed to as a child. My husband was never allowed. He could only have friends sleep at his house.
I don't think I will let Ava. I am afraid of weirdos, perverts and house fires. I know it sounds nuerotic.
I know, I am no help...Sorry

Re: Sleepover Issue--------PLEASE HELP!
I have a 7 year old son, and so far he has only slept over his cousins houses. If he were invited to a sleep over at a friends house, I would let him go as long as I knew and trusted the parents.
I would say let your daughter go, and if there are any problems they can call you.

I would definitely let her go. If it were people you didn't know that's a different story but since you know them let her go.

Re: Sleepover Issue--------PLEASE HELP!
Hmmm...I;m on the fence with this one. As a kid I was never allowed to go to sleepovers and I have no emotional wounds. Today's world is very scary and unless I really really really knew the family I probably wouldnt allow it.

Re: Sleepover Issue--------PLEASE HELP!
I have an 8 year old son. I've let him sleep over 2 of his friends houses' since he's been 6.
I know the parents very well, thats the only reason.
I say if you know the mom and trust her than let her go.

Re: Sleepover Issue--------PLEASE HELP!
Let her go, if she wants to come home go get her. They all have to grow up mom. if oyu know the family then what is the big deal? it is probably hard if it will be herfirst sleepover. my daughter's first sleepover I prayed for her to call and say mom I want to come home, but she went and she had so much fun, I was so happy I let her go.

Re: Sleepover Issue--------PLEASE HELP!
I think my big quesiton would be who else is going to be in the house? Is the mother's boyfriend going to be there? That would make me uncomfortable.
Unless you want your daughter to be teased keep her at home or wait until you're more comfortable with the mom. Your sleeping over should not be an option.

Re: Sleepover Issue--------PLEASE HELP!
I would only do sleepovers with people I totally trust, even some of my girlfiends' husbands "seem" very nice. but you never know, there are alwasy the cases when it is the last person that you would ever thinka nd they do the unthinkable to kids. I need to know the family VERY well and I mae it clear to my daughter of the "rules".

I agree. I don't think its appropriate for you to sleep over too. If you are not comfortable, then don't let her go.
