[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what are you afraid off, exactly? i'm not understanding the source of your anxiety. [/quote]

She’s afraid her child will be molested.

OP, you really need to arm your child with information and tools to try to prevent this sort of thing, so she can indeed go off and have fun with friends!  Maybe this particular family is annoying, but it sounds like it’s the culture of the school and she will be getting other invites. She will be quite sad if you don’t let her go. As the kids get older, you won’t get a chance to meet all parents unfortunately. Maybe a quick phone call so your questions can be answered. That’s not unreasonable at all for a 3 hour away sleepover!! (The parent should have provided her number and lots of details for a trip like that, IMO)

I think that the parents of a lot of girls who were molested or harassed at sleepovers would say that they armed their children with information and tools to prevent this sort of thing, and then, it didn't. I only let DDs spend the night at the homes of good friends, where we know the parents.[/quote]
