[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved sleepovers and began hosting and attending in third grade. But by HS, these took a darker turn with alcohol brought in, sneaking out, etc.

Completely understand not allowing sleepovers, OP. I’m a mom 3 with one DS and it was my DS who had more sleepovers than my girls ever did. He’s a college student now and has had the same close guy fiends since ES. I know the families very well.

I was super strict with my oldest and would be only allow infrequent sleepovers with families we knew well and fully admit if there was anything sketchy about any of the families (think older siblings, [b]single parent,[/b] live in relatives or too many unknown details) then it was a hard no.

What is sketchy about single parents?[/quote]

This OP and does the single parent have a partner? Will that partner sleep over? Will the parent be present? Creates more unknowns and a different dynamic.

You parents are INSANE.

Honestly, it is scary how you come up with every worse case scenario in your head and think you are helping your kids. And you wonder why depression, anxiety are at an all time high and socialization and street smarts are at an all time low in teens/young adults.

You are going to be the parents that actually prefer when your adult child calls you from college 3 weeks in, begging to come home.  One of my DD’s 4 roommates freshman year cried for 3 days straight and went home before she went one class.

We are stunting our youth with helicopters.
