Year 7 and sleepover

[ShirazSavedMySanity]

I could do with some opinions and if I’m being over protective or not.

DD(12) is in Year 7. She’s been invited to a sleepover next weekend with a girl she’s known since September but only really been friends with over the last 6 weeks.

DD has been invited to her house with another girl for a sleepover at the weekend.

DH and I have never met the girl or her parents, we’re bit wary of letting her go.

Are we being PFB?

You're sensible, not unreasonable to have reservations. I would do the following.

Say yes on the condition that you get the parents phone number and address prior to the sleepover.

Drop her off and go to the door to say hello to the parent. Make sure DD has a phone so she can call you if she's not happy.

I have two girls and my older is 15. She's been making friends from school including older year groups for a couple of years now PLUS friends from other schools.

The other parents have all been the same as me...wanting to meet for a quick chat before our kids spend the night.

Thank you both.
I’ve called the girls mum this evening and feel so much better for doing so.
The sleepover is going ahead

I think its only natural to be cautious, now our kids are getting older and we dont always know their new friends and certainly not the parents. I think you've done the right thing. I always make a point to call the parent of any new friends to check arrangements and I always drop off for at least the first visit/sleepover. How lovley for your daughter that she is making new friends.
