[quote=Anonymous]I had no idea that people were so against sleepovers/slumber parties.

I slept over at my best friend's house all the time when I was younger - and vice versa.  Our moms worked together and we had gone to the same babysitter and lived on the same road.  We were close.  Then, later on, I started going to other friend's houses and having people over to my house.

We just hosted one last week for our daughter's birthday, and when I posted about it, one of my friends from my ES days said "Oh, I remember sleepovers at your house!  They were so much fun!"

I was friends with a girl who lived in a house without a working toilet.  My mom let me stay there once or twice, but we started inviting her to our house all the time after that.  She was a really nice girl and her living conditions were not her fault.

I had a slumber party for my 15th birthday - I swear we had 15 girls in my house sleeping all over our first level.  It was a blast.

I understand people's concerns to some extent.  I'm glad we never came across that when I was younger, though.  Really, my parents were pillar of the community types-everyone knew and liked them.  I'd like to think we're similar.  We do try to get to know the parents of my children's friends so that they feel comfortable with our family.

But, to answer the question - I'm American.  Yes, this was completely the norm where I grew up and amongst my peer group. [/quote]
