[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think so.  I'd tell her "Let's plan that you can go. I'm going to drop you off.  I'm going to walk into the house with you.  If I get an uncomfortable feeling we're going to leave and you can't throw a fit."

Then call to RSVP and tell the mom "I'd really like to say yes. I've never let DD go to a sleepover before and am kind of nervous.  Besides you and your husband are there any other adults in the house?   Are there any guns in your home?"

But I've met lots of dads and they're all normal.  And both my exhusband and current husband have been around for sleepovers.  All four daughters have been having sleepovers since 4-6 yrs old (depending on when they asked/were invited) with no problem.  Generally the dads get the food.  They pick up the sushi or pizza, they cook the pancakes or waffles in the morning, they fix the connection when Netflix won't show up on tv.  Other than that, and yelling at the girls to stop shrieking  they stay out of the way.  [/quote]

*I just want to add to the above: when one of my daughters got invited to a sleepover birthday party a month after she'd started at a new middle school in 6th grade, I dropped her off and then stood next to the assistant principal, and told him "DD got invited to Arianna's birthday party, but it's a sleepover.  Which one is Arianna?  Do you know who else is going?"  And bless this guy, because he immediately pointed out Arianna to me, and then saw a girl walking past him and said, "Hey Faith, what are you doing next weekend?"  And Faith said she was going to the sleepover.  So I got to look at both the birthday girl and another guest.  The AP then told me Arianna's living situation (in terms of parents) and which other girls were in her and Faith's friend circle.  [/quote]
