| Would you let a young teen sleep over at a new friend’s house when only the father is present? Mom is traveling. At first it was supposed to be a group of girls but the other ones aren’t joining after all. |

Why is this a question addressed only at moms? Are fathers not capable of evaluating the risks?
What is your impression of that family? If they are trailer trash, I wouldn't let her sleep over even if the mom were present. If it is an educated, reputable family, I would let her sleep over. |

My daughter’s best friend has a single father. I never worried when she slept over.

They are wealthy but I don’t know them. I met the father for all but 1 second and have never met the mom. |

One girl I do t know, the other one - the mom gave me like 5 reasons, none of which being an actual reason. So I don’t really know. |

You certainly don’t know how to evaluate risks. You’d probably have your fourteen year old sleeping over Jeffrey Epstein’s house if he had a daughter, you’d be so dazzled by his educated mansion owning self. |

You presumably know the father. |

OP. This. I don’t think money has anything to do with it. |

| Not a new friend, no. But our existing friends, yes. I trust all the fathers in our small circle of friends. |

| OP. I certainly wish the mom had told me that the other girls won’t be there before I said yes to my DD. Now she’s justifiably upset. |

| If you don't want her to stay the night you could suggest a late over until about 10pm? |
