It was my dd (8) first sleepover recently. I have found out that the mum let her friend take my dd and her friend to the cinema, the mum didn't go. The df is known to my dd's friend and he took his two kids too so one adult 4 kids. The film they saw was rated 12. He then drove my dd and her friend back to friends house for sleepover. Dd says she thought it was 'weird' but not particularly bothered. I guess this is part and parcel of leaving them in the care of others, you have to trust them to do what they think is right for your child. I feel a bit uncomfortable though, I think she's too young to be left with strangers (well, a stranger to her) and this is giving her mixed messages about how to keep herself safe. Am I being silly?
