To not really want DD (7) to go to a sleepover

DD is 7 and has been invited to her first sleep over. AIBU to not want her to go because:

  1. We’ve never succeeded with having any of our friends or family’s children sleep in with DD when they have come to stay
  2. DD is a night owl who struggles to get to sleep before about 10pm on a calm day, never mind after a party
  3. Because of this, she goes to sleep with an audiobook or music on - not ideal with a gaggle of about 8 girls
  4. We lost my nan last week. She was very close to her and has been upset at night about it. She’s come into bed with me in the night every night for the last 10 days for comfort.
  5. I’m not sure her spending a night at a classmate’s house is a great idea when they’ve never had so much as a play date before.
  6. They’re 6 and 7. Seems a bit young to me.

On the other hand, she really wants to go. And all of the other mums seem to have jumped at the invitation. Confused

You've already made your mind up...so why bother posting on here? You haven't even considered the suggestions by many posters of taking her and picking up before bed time! You seem to simply want to justify your reasons not to let her go at all. You sound hard work quite honestly!

My mind is absolutely not made up and I’m considering all of the suggestions. They do conflict, you know. There’s been no consensus.
