[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Google the parents. Check sex offender registry. Drive by the house. Drop your kid off for the afternoon or dinner (not a sleep over) and talk to the parent at home. And no - my 12 year old will never sleep over at another girl's house who has older brothers. [/quote] +1 After an invitation has been extended, I always call the mother and talk for awhile. You can get a good feel for people if you really listen. [/quote] Talking to the other parents is completely reasonable. You get a little feel for them and get a better sense of what is planned and what their ground rules are. But, the rest of it is crazy. Absent some other more specific reason for concern, having an older brother shouldn't preclude a sleep over. Would you say the same if the dad was home?[/quote]
