If you're the sort to 'absolutely not' allow your kids to go to sleepovers, something that's an incredibly normal - fun part of being a kid,  then no, no you did not 'turn out fine'.

That's a kind of weird deep seated paranoia and sadness towards others that I would never inflict on my kids.

For the record, we do sleepovers with both close, trusted neighbors, family members/cousins, and also during the summer - a few other kids from swim team.

It's normal, no one has ever exploded, and the world isn't as horrible a place as everyone seems to think it is. You just have to be smart about who your kids hang out with.[/quote]

DP but omg we could play this game all day. Why is it so important to you that *other* people's kids go on sleepovers? If you are the kind of adult who angrily orders other people to let their kids go on sleepovers, then you are the one who is poorly adjusted, and no one should take your parenting advice.

I'm not even opposed to sleepovers but this insistence that everyone should do them is weird. So what's right for your family and don't worry about what others do.[/quote]
