[quote=Anonymous]I’d look at it this way: if all the other parents were fine with it, then yes you probably are overreacting. I assume  that you agree with 9 out of 10 of the other aspects of the other parents’ parenting; which is evident because you let your daughter hang out and spend the night at their houses and with the other teens. If that’s the case, I would try to reflect on why I have such strong feelings of nappropriateness that others do not.

Otherwise, if you still think you’re justified and the other parents are wrong, you may need to not let your  kid hang out with the birthday girl or the other teens whose parents were okay With everything; because there’s probably more that they would do unassumingly that you would disagree with your kids being involved in. And being able to see evidence of pink hair and nails on a 13yo is one thing. You’ll need to trust the other parents judgement and parenting styles. And if you can’t do that, your kid needs new friends.

A movie, sleepover, free hair spray and nail polish is not a “big”  party. To most , that’s pretty economical andvtypical for ages 8-15. We do that for non birthdays as well . The types that want the  big “sweet 16” are usually thinking  wedding-reception or prom-like parties![/quote]
