[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  
Like I said, we are normally very comfortable with this family/older son.   We just aren't clear on the friends, who they are and what the typical day/sleeping arrangements look like and who the cousins are (if they are even going or how old they are).  DD and her friend are typically good 14yr olds-- minimal drama, into boys but not advanced for their age, follow rules and directions etc.  I don't know the other girls but DD says they're part of the 'friend group' so I would assume they're similar.

Go with your gut and do what makes you comfortable.  I’ve said no and yes to my kids staying with certain families. It completely depends on the kids.  Sometimes the older sibling has been more on the wild side and I was worried trouble could happen.  I’m not taking any chances.

In our house, my older teen boy is a big introvert who loves his computer and isn’t into to partying at all.  When he has friends over, they play computer games, eat or talk about cars.  They do not pay any attention to his younger sister or her friends if they are here.  The only exception is if they girls are loud and they ask one of us to tell them to be quieter.   If the older kids are like this, sure, let them go.  Most likely they aren’t and do what makes you comfortable.  [/quote]
