[quote=Anonymous]We just had this discussion with our soon to be 12 year old this weekend. And no, she could not spend the night at a slumber party for a new friend who we had never met, whose parents we had never met, whose house she had not visited before.  The deal in our house is that we need to know the kid and parents enough to make sure everything seems okay. Not hang out on a regular basis, but have a few conversations.  Meet the parents a few times and get a feel for them and their child. So we told DD it was too soon to spend the night. But she could go until 10 and then come home. And that she should invite her friend over anytime.  And that after she had been over to her friend's house once or twice, and her friend had come to visit her, we would revisit the sleepover idea. DD seemed remarkably okay with that answer and we didn't get any pushback. I think she was a little uncomfortable about spending the night in a house she had never seen with parents she had never met too. [/quote]
