[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the "let them live a little" posters griping at the "no sleepover" posters:  does that mean that when my DD is invited to your house for a sleepover that you'll turn a blind eye to where your beer/porn/pot is stashed?  or whether the kids sneak out of the house? Will you be that "cool" house where the parents let the teens drink in the basement as long as they don't drive?  I'm curious about where you're drawing the line.  [/quote]

Not really sure who this is directed to but I'll answer anyway.  I think it is really odd, paranoid and controlling to have a flat no sleepovers rule.

We do not have beer in the house and all of our alcohol is in a locked cabinet.  The key is in DH's office.  We do not have porn in the house.  If DH watches it, is on his private laptop and even I don't know about it.  Again, laptop is in his office.  DH's office is off limits to the kids and it is located directly next to our bedroom.  No, we do not turn a blind eye to any inappropriate behaviors.  Why would we?

I'm not sure why you equate sleepovers to allowing the kids to drink the in the basement.  My kids are not quite middle school age yet but I loved having sleepovers in middle school and high school.  We did each other's makeup, painted our nails, made up dances, watched movies, baked cookies, and mostly just giggled and gossiped as girls do.[/quote]
