Where do you begin.. our daughter will be 13 in a few weeks and wants to have (and go to) mixed sleepovers.
Although we would rather not.. hosting one is less of a problem for obvious reasons.
Because our daughter has to travel to the local town for school (where there are at least 4 or 5 other schools) she is meeting many children who we know nothing about. We only just found out about a boyfriend (of 8 weeks) who is having a birthday sleepover. Not knowing him or his family makes us enclined to decline.
We dont want to be control freaks but think if we let go now it sets a precedent for later.
It doesnt help that the boys all seem to look like chavs... and of course the last thing you want to do is offend someone other parents by saying she cant go.
This is very new ground for us and we're not coping very well at present. We'd be interested to know what other parents feel who are (or have been) in the same position.
