[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am PARANOID about sleepovers. For these reasons:

1. Having someone else's kid getting hurt at my house. My kids have play dates but a parent always stays (because we are friends too) and I feel comfortable with that but I would never let another kid spend the night because it freaks me out. What if the kid has some kid of allergic reaction etc...

2. Lice. I mean a sleepover just seems like a great way to get/have it spread.

3. I always thought the whole concept was weird.

I am a pretty chill parent in most other ways but sleepovers are non negotiable. Anyone else?[/quote]

NP  As a parent we never really encouraged sleepovers but, my hs dd has a really good friend and they have sleepovers all the time.  It is nice because each girl gets to see how different ( better and for worse) how other people live.    My dd now appreciates the things we do as a family but, has learned a lot from the other mom so she appreciates her too.

Lice is not a reason to forbid sleepovers because why icky they do not kill.  Just be open to the idea of sleepovers.  Your kid may not like them so you need not worry but, it is good practice for when they go away to college.[/quote]
