DD thinks I am BU.
She is 12 & has a group of friends at school. She has been to various friends houses for parties and even two sleepovers.
The difference being that I spoke to these girls parents on the phone before she went!
She asked on monday if she could stay at Lilly's house on Friday night, go home with her after school, go to cinema etc.
I said I would need to speak to Lilly's mum or dad before she could go.
Today is Thursday & I haven't heard from either of them.
Dd give her friend my number, I did offer to call the mum/dad but no number was produced.
This evening dd is saying Lilly's mother is at a wedding today so can't call me but it'll be fine & I should just chill out & let her go...
I said no, she's not going. She asked if she could take tomorrow off school as she's going to look like a baby saying she can't go to the sleepover as I haven't spoken to Lilly's mother.
AIBU? She's not a liar so I believe there is a sleepover, but am I too overprotective? We live quite rurally so I am used to taking her places, but this girl lives in a large town about 30 miles away & just is more streetwise than dd. I'm not sure why, but my gut instinct is to not change my mind, despite her tears.

AIBU?
To not allow my 12-year-old to sleepover when I don't know the parents?
