DD has been invited to a sleepover tomorrow night (she is 12 btw) along with 5 other girls and I don't want her to go as I have never even seen the parents of the girl who has invited her let alone talked to them. When I told DD that I wanted to speak to them on the phone at least she insisted that she was not a baby and I do not need to as I would embarrass her . She has not been to a sleepover since she was about 8 and I knew the parents then (she has had sleepovers at our house since and the parents just dropped her friends off without speaking to me first even though I had never met them before either).
The girl is very nice and I am sure it will be fine but I have these irrational worries about them not having a smoke alarm or the parents leaving them alone and them raiding the drinks cupboard! When I drop her off, I can hardly say 'Nice to meet you, can you just confirm that you do have working smoke alarms, no alcohol in the house and you won't be leaving the girls on their own'? Or can I ?
It does'nt help that she has had impetigo and has been off school this week with it. She has a large very visible mark on her face still and is not contagious now but I am worried that her friends will think they will catch it off her. I really don't want her to go but she is so looking forward to it (these are relatively new friends as she has just started a new school). WIBU to not let her?
