Sleepover with new friend

[SooticaTheWitchesCat]

My 11 year old DD has been at secondary school since September and has made some new friends, she has been to their houses after school a couple fo times but now one of the girls has invited her and 2 others for a sleepover.

I initially said yes, she could go but after speaking to my husband he is unsure whether to let her go or not. He says we don't know the family, whcih is true, I have only met her mum once and has never seen any of them. So he says it effectively letting her go to stay with strangers.

the thing is that DD has already told her friend she is going so will be devasted if we say no now.

I am torn, I can see both sides and I am not really sure what to do.

Should I say she can't go or try to talk DH round. It took him ages to let her sleep over at her old friends house so I'm not sure whether he will agree or not.

Any advice please?

I would want to know where my kids were staying overnight and who with, not to do so would be wierd to me.

I think I probably checked more when DD was 14-16, I wanted to make sure she was where she said she was going to be. I know that dcs with strict parents say they are going to a strict family overnight & then go to someone else's if they want to get drunk.
