I let my kid go to a 7 year old coed sleepover. They played games, ate cake, and watched too many movies before all falling asleep in their family room.

I wouldn't want coed sleepovers past age 8, probably.

My kids were still new to sleepovers except for at grandparents or cousins' house at age 6. I would only host one kid sleeping over at that age, not a group. By age 7-8, sleepovers with 1-2 guests were typical but only at homes where my kid had been to the house before and where I was already friendly with the parents. I did not allow kid at 7-8 yo coed sleepover when my kid had not been to the house before and I had only met one of the parents. I did allow at 7-8 yo coed sleepover when my kid had been to the house a few times and I knew both parents as well as the other kids attending.

I let my DD go to one with a family we're very close to. It's NBD at that age. They're just little kids. But I wouldn't let my kid have a sleepover at anyone's house unless we're close with the other family.

Why do you think?

Are you actually clueless or deliberately obtuse?

I don’t remember having sex at 6 or doing anything physical with boys. Maybe times have changed or I was unusual.

The question was about parents...

It’s also worth ponoting out that 6 is very young for sleepovers in general.

Avoid all the problems and have a "sleep under". After dinner everyone puts on pjs and watches a movie. Pick up at 9:00.

I have less than zero desire to pick up a 6 yo at 9 pm on a weekend.

Go ahead and invite but be sure to headline with the words “coed sleepover” in eye-catching, bold letters. Then offer to let parents pick up at 9 or 10 if they would prefer that their kids not spend the night.

My kids and their neighborhood friends - both boys and girls - would all frequently end up at sleepovers together. We - the moms - used to lament that it couldn’t last forever, and as the kids hit sixth grade, we’ve gently enforced a no co-ed sleepover rule.

I'd inform the parents but disagree that all parents of girls will decline. The kids are 6, not 13.

Definitely inform the parents that it will be coed so we can decline.

DS6 wants to have a small co-ed sleepover. I have no problem with it but some parents might. Should I invite the kids and then inform the parents of the mixed group and they can decide? If they decline, that's fine.
