[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm not a paranoid person and generally am pretty chill, but I think it is a reasonable thing to want to know what older boys will be at a sleepover of preteen girls.   In general I think it would be great if the older brother could arrange to be over at someone else's house.

I have an older boy and a younger girl, and lately I have started letting people know where the older boy will be, and whether he'll have a friend over himself.   If so, I keep a close eye out.   THe kids are all good kids, but the boys are now at the age where they can get really goofy and inappropriate, and the younger girls frankly are a great audience to egg them on.   [/quote]

OP, you are not being paranoid IMO.  I have two girls and a boy, and my son and his pals are all great kids, but they are also getting to the age when the rough-housing and carousing can border on the inappropriate. So I keep a watchful eye on my younger DD, just because while these are good boys, they don't have the sense to know when to stop, and my youngest loves to run with the pack.  I would never have them over when DD is having a sleepover, and I make it a point to let her friends' parents know who will be in the house.  Just as l ask if there are any food allergies, or if they mind friendly dogs.  Full disclosure and common sense.[/quote]
