[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just skimmed this whole post and wow, are there some judgy parents here.  I allow my children to sleepover only if I know the parents well.  Currently they can sleepover at a couple of neighbor's homes who we have known for years and at the homes of a few school/sports friends.  I do understand why people feel anxiety about it.  I saw a hardcore porn magazine at a 3rd grade sleepover because my friend had found her dad's stash.  I never told my mom.   I also watched a very violent, bloody and sexual horror movie that gave nightmares at another sleepover when I was in 4th or 5th grade.  The parents never even checked what we were watching in the basement.  Anyway, even with that I allow my kids to certain homes, where I know parents are vigilant.  But I would never judge a parent that doesn't feel comfortable with their children sleeping over.  I always say something like:  If your child is not allowed to sleepover, please feel free to pick them up by 11pm.    There is always one or two kids that get picked up late.  I don't mind, every family is different.  [/quote]
+1. I grew up going to sleepovers all the time. I watched porn for the first time at 8 years old, and then many times afterward (and these were all-girl sleepovers). I have no idea why parents were so careless with their private material (or why we watched it for that matter) but nobody really monitored us. [/quote]
