| If this party is tonight in downtown Silver Spring, there are lots of kids attending and the parents have done these for years. The kids don’t actually sleep, but at some point, they are physically segregated by gender. I was also leery the first time, but it’s been fine. |

| Another nope. But I have a friend whose son has attended parties like this, so it must be a thing. |

| I have hosted co-ed sleepovers several times. Most of my daughter’s friends are gay/lesbian. |

| My DD has done many of these. The kids don't even change their clothes to sleep. You guys hyper-sexualize everything. |

+1 -someone who went to sleepovers like this all the time as a teen (yet somehow remained a virgin until my 20s — unlike a lot of my friends whose parents forbid them from attending) |

It really depends on the kids and the parents involved. We have cameras in our basement so we can see everything and can easily put one in the living room and other areas so they cannot get away with too much. I'd probably allow it as if they are going to do something they will find a way. |

| My ds is 13 and has gone to coed sleepovers and we have hosted them. It is a small group of kids and they have been friends since preschool and kindergarten. I am not worried about it. |

Interesting bc I actually went to a couple parties like this in middle school. The parents were “cool” parents... one was NYE and they gave us a champagne toast. I remember some low level MS sexual activity, but nothing more than what happens at other parties or the movies. Spin the bottle type stuff. In my head those pRties are actually really fun memories.
That said, not sure I’d let my kids go now. They are boys. I’d be worried about accusations more than anything. |
