[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to check with the parents and see their schedules.  We have sports in the AM so that would be an issue.  Likewise, I wouldn't allow a sleepover to a house I've never been to nor do I know the parents.  I also wouldn't want my child sleeping in a basement without an adult there.[/quote]

You seem like you need Xanax.  There have been lots of threads about parents fearing other parents they don't know who make some sort of blanket "no sleepover rule".  People like you are the reason why do many kids can't handle basic functions like laundry or managing money when they leave for college, or otherwise fear everything about the world.  Use a little common sense.  Don't know the parents?  Reach out to them, call, text, or whatever and find out the real story.  If you feel weird about it, then say no.  If it seems fine, then go for it.

And what's up with the basement phobia? Do you realize that most people have finished basements that are so tricked out that they are nicer than your house?  OP's basement sounds awesome, would like to come to their Super Bowl party!  I'm guessing I'll make it out alive.[/quote]

Different poster-you sound naive. Kids approaching tweendom can have less common sense then their younger peers. You need to check in on them. It should not bother you this much if other people don't want to send a kid to a stranger's house and leave them unsupervised all night in the basement. You clearly have a different view, but I can tell you I would not anthologize someone and say they need a xanex because they are savvy to tween boys. My nephew had a situation where another kid tried to dare the kids to pull down their pants and underwear for youtube. This is considered child porn by the way.Luckily the mom walked in on this and sent the kids who participated home.[/quote]
