[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I are not comfortable with sleepovers (history of abuse) and our child is 7. We’ve started getting invitations for slumber party birthdays and at first, I simply replied “Larla isn’t able to spend the night but she would love to come for the evening portion and I could pick her up before bedtime.” Seemed to be acceptable but had one mom who was a bit prickly about it. The latest invitation came and the host parent was much more direct. She suggested moving the party to a night my daughter could sleepover. For some reason, this really threw me off and I fumbled through the conversation. I basically came across like I didn’t want my DD to sleepover at their house specifically- which is not the case! Is it acceptable to just say “we don’t do sleepovers”? What would you have said?[/quote]
