[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don’t allow sleepovers, period. Why are people so outraged and appalled by a “no” to sleepovers? It’s bizarre.

My kids have traveled with school groups and sports, gone out of town with relatives, etc. We can easily say a simple “no, sorry” to a party or anything else as needed, but no to a sleepover in a private home is met with “oh no! why not?! what other dates work?!” from other parents and their kids. I just don’t get why it is so important and why such a big push for these events.[/quote]

A strict “no sleepovers” policy is too often borne out of a parent’s transphobic prejudice.[/quote]

[b]I think it’s former sexual assault or childhood abuse.[/b]

Some moms, if they only hvae one gender of DC, get irrational - but I think it is because they were sexually abused or sexually assaulted, at some point, and don't want to come out and say it.  Which is fine, but don't make assumptions about other houses.

I also find that first generation (my parents) do not approve of sleepovers, in general. [/quote]

I am in the nope camp and was not abused. I witnessed inter-family creepiness bordering on incest/abuse during a sleepover.[/quote]

I get not going to that particular house, or if you don't know someone well enough, which is fine. [/quote]
