[quote=Anonymous]Growing up I was not allowed to sleepovers. I went to one and my mother never let me forget that I probably preferred that other family, etc....

So I let my kids do sleepovers. It is interesting what is normalized in families. My kid came from one (with a good friend) in a traumatized state because of how the father roughly handled their family dog. That was a case of letting my kid decide to let the friendship slow fade because of what she perceived to be dysfunctional family dynamics.
The kids talk - I overheard my son talking to his friends about who they would marry in their elementary class, and my daughter talk with her friends about their crushes. Then the next day some of the kids have to get up early because their family attends church services. And seeing that some families are serious about juicing and vitamixes and other families have work studios for sewing crafts is interesting. Their friends are curious that this mom has power tools around the house and something new always seems to be installed her or there. [/quote]
