[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not allow my kids (boy or girl) to sleep over at the home of any male without a wife also being present, and I’m not sorry about that at all. We allow very few sleepovers in general.

[b]IMHO: a single man inviting young girls of that age to sleep over shows really poor judgment in the first place. Most men would never even consider it. My DH has taken our DD and her friends to the movies, sports games and other public places etc alone- but he’d never want to host young kids overnight if I was not here. [/b]

I’m sure he isn’t going to announce all of his shortcomings and personal history to new neighbors or friends. In fairness, why would anyone?

As for the families avoiding you: he may be rewriting history and talking sh!t about you…OR he may have said little at all and they just feel generally awkward (being friendly with him, and knowing you are his ex)

Okay but married men and divorced men are in very different situations, because married men can defer to their wives and when they are there.  I don’t think it’s weird for divorced men to try to provide their daughters with the same social opportunities they might have had if their mother were around.  Families can decide what they’re comfortable with.  I do think that 6/7 is on the young side for a sleepover though, no matter who is supervising.[/quote]
