[quote=Anonymous]We let our 9 yo DS go to sleepovers and have since he was about 6. Granted, most of the sleepovers he attends are at homes of people we know well. However, there was one party he was invited to and we didn't know the parents at all. He was only 7 so I was very apprehensive. But he really wanted to go. So, I went to the house and met the parents. Needless to say, I didn't leave with a comfortable feeling (there was a pool table in the living room - no couch, no tv -- just a pool table). But I let him stay. I worried all night long. The next morning, I picked him up promptly at 10. He was sitting there, eating pancakes, laughing and joking with his friends. The mom and dad were supervising and all appeared to have gone well. DS said he had a blast. It was a good lesson for me to let go at times. It doesn't mean I don't parent but I can't hover constantly. With your DS being 10, I think you've got to let go a bit.[/quote]
