[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know where people are getting pedo predator from the OP.  XH doesn't sound like a prize, but an alcoholic affair-haver doesn't automatically equal pedo groomer predator.

The alcoholism/DUI would suggest he's likely not a good supervisor of children if he's solo parenting.  That would likely be enough for me to nix a sleepover.

But PPs seem to be making some major leaps.  It's enough for a guy to "just" be a crappy husband/human.[/quote]

I think when OP highlights the fact that it's "little girls" sleeping over, it implies a gender based concern. There is a couple other references in her post which highlight the gender issue ("I actually assumed it would be hard for him to even have playdates at his house as a solo dad with only daughters"), which is why people assumed she was talking about him as a possible predator.

I agree that the DUI is a legitimate concern, but 1) that's not gendered which the post definitely is and 2) no one but her knows about that. She thinks being a divorced man (emphasis on the man) is enough of a red flag to mean you wouldn't send your "little girls" (emphasis on the girls) to sleepover there. The implication is that there's something of a sexual nature that should be concerning them.[/quote]
