[quote=Anonymous]My 12yo DD added a new friend to her usual group this year- they met at school. I have never met the girl or her parents (not a lot of out of school socializing was happening due to covid of course). My DD is going to this new girls house for a birthday sleepover this weekend, actually. I am fine with it. Four other girls (the rest of the girls in her group) will be there. I’ll walk DD to the door, meet the parents and chat for a few minutes when I drop her off. DD has a phone and good judgment.

In your case, I’d walk her over and introduce myself, and make sure DD has her phone. Anything more would be a little overbearing IMHO. If something seems amiss to you when you meet the family (unlikely) then I’d check in with DD a few times by phone or text  (and make sure she knows she must pick up for you/ this is a rule for us).

My kids have been going to play at kids houses (school friends) all through elementary. Most of the time I don’t know the parents beyond meeting them briefly at a school function or something.

It’s fine IMO.[/quote]
