If it were me, I would probably accommodate the ex's concern even if I didn't agree with it just b/c that seems like what would ideally keep things going smoothly.

Are you the same poster as18:40?

No a NP (but I did read and agree with PP's post.)

Is this OP trying to support stance?

Depends. Both have reasonable points, though if parents are careful and proactive there's really no need for concern.

That said, if kids are with mom one or two weekends a month, I would probably work with dad on his fears regardless of how I felt about it, when possible.

OP,

Think about what you're asking: That your daughters' stepbrother never have anyone sleep over when they are there. What if you'd had a son and a daughter? The good news is that, at least in my experience, boys don't do sleepovers as much as girls. It's great that your ex is sympathetic to your concerns, and doesn't expect this to happen often.
