[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As for "Protecting the Gift," this seems to be a generalized concern, not based on specifics regarding the older brother and the unknown friend. How is that helpful? Of course something could happen. Something could happen every time we step out the door. Or pick up a carving knife. I'm not minimizing OP's concern, but I am not clear how this book would inform her in this situation.[/quote]

I'm not OP, but how is this comparable to stepping out the door? OP thought she was agreeing to one scenario (just the DD's immediate family) and now she's being asked to leave her DD at a house overnight with a teenage boy she doesn't know. That is a horse of another color, isn't it? Risks have percentages, you know? I wouldn't want to have to worry about my DD acting inappropriately (yes!) or the boy. I would prefer to skip the whole thing--but once you've agreed to do it, to be told that the conditions are such--it will create a rift with the mother to tell her DD isn't going to come. I think moms should not make such assumptions for other peoples children. No one is saying you should never have a sleep over for the older brother--just don't have it on the same night. Why is that so hard?[/quote]
