[quote=Anonymous]I am a childless aunt who has hosted many sleepovers with my nieces and nephews over the years, when they were little. Most of them are grown now. It was really good for both me and the kids to have the time together. I think it's good for kids to have a relationship with an adult other than their parents and it's good for adults to have relationships with young people. It was always a time for us to eat junk food, watch movies and just talk about whatever. To be fair, I've never owned a gun, but I think if this is really the only reason for your child not to have a sleepover w/ her aunt then you should be open about it (starting now) and help the aunt to find a solution you can live with. Allowing your daughter to have these special memories with her aunt really will make her a better, more whole person. And if the aunt is a little weird...that's OK too. It will help your daughter learn to get along with people who are odd or different. Aside from the guns, this doesn't seem so bad to me.[/quote]
