[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my DD has sleepovers, my DS  (2 years older) makes plans to sleep ay a friends house, because no way does he want to be around a bunch of loud girls watching girl movies, which usually involve singing (or they just burst into songs at random times).  Sam for her when he has friends over - she makes plans to stay at a friend's house...

Putting your kids in a bubble, teaching them they are never safe, can't stand up for themselves, never fail or learn from their mistakes, yeah, that will work out well for them.  Are you the same parents who scream at teachers for giving your child a bad grade?  And challenge college professors who do the same?  Call places looking to find SSL or i ternships for theor teens?  Show up with your child at job interviews?

Teens are capable and resourcefil.  They need to learn grit/resiliency, how to deal with/handle uncomfortable situations.  If the first time it happenes they are away from home (college?), they will fall apart.  Or, when they get out from under your thumb, they will rebel against your over-bearing, ridiculously strict ways.

OP is worried that her 12 year old daughter will get raped or molested by a father and teenage son she doesn't know in the middle of the night in a strange house.  That is not putting her kid is a bubble.   [/quote]
