[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I take the approach of this PP:

We don't invite a kid for a sleepover before they've been over to play a few times, and we've met the parents, etc. So they're be no need for a parent to come in when dropping off a kid for a sleepover to inspect for a creepy uncle in the basement. Conversely, of course I wouldn't let my kids sleep over at a friend's house the first time they're going to someone's home. This is a non-issue.

So I like PP, I never have strangers showing up with their kids in the evening.

I don't prep my house "for company" when a few teens we know are going to stay over and order pizza while playing video games. But my friend does. That's what spurred my post. She insisted that it's common to have parents come inside before leaving their kids. Based on the feedback here, I guess I've just been lucky that nobody has ever asked to come inside to "visit" and check out the house before agreeing to going through with the sleepover. I have learned here that other people generally do that. To each her own! I certainly would never presume that an invitation was to anybody but the child, especially when they're teens. So I'll just continue to wave at the host parent from the car.[/quote]
