[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious about the molestation fears. 99% of sleepovers I went to involved 5+ girls. We weren't ever alone with a male relative. I also was crazy ignorant about child molestation until I was at least 20. I had no clue stuff like that went on. Even still, we wouldn't have allowed one of our friends to go off with someone else's dad! [/quote]

I wonder if it is foreign parents that simply do not want to host or take part in sleepovers; who are exaggerating any concerns, or who have been assaulted by one of their own creepy relatives (so many generations residing together).  Or perhaps being social is not a priority to them, as certain foreign cultures do not make having social skills a priority.  [I have seen some cultures that are so insecure and competitive, rather than apply themselves to being more social and learning - they are willing to say anything about a clearly very successful family. Do you think the story telling family is boosting their image, reputation and credibility THAT way?  Quite the opposite! "Do you know what happens at THEIR sleepovers??? They smoke crack!!"  BAHAHAHA.]

Oh, give me a break. I am from the US but living in another cultures where sleepovers are unusual. Think of it this way: if you had never heard of such a thing (your kid going to someone else's house to spend the night) wouldn't it seem a little weird/suspicious to you? [/quote]
