My 13 yr old has a sporty hobby which he spends nearly all of his spare time either doing or editing videos of him doing it. This is a fine thing, he is keeping very active which is something we are happy about and actually the videos are pretty good too.
However it is a hobby that only a few of his local friends are interested in , he has made other friends a bit further afield who seem as obsessed as he is and I am happy for them to come here for the day or for him to go there but there are a few of them now talking about having a meet up in the summer and staying at someone's house who I haven't met . Obviously I would meet them on the day but other than that they will be a stranger .
My first reaction is to say no way but I don't know if I am over reacting or if he is really pushing it.
Up until now he has only stayed at homes where I have known the friends and the parents for a long time .
Is this just the age he is and a hurdle I just have to get over ?

Would you allow your 13yr old to go and stay with people you don't really know?
