AIBU not wanting DD to go to sleepover?

[EdgyFinch]

My DD (8) has been invited to her friends for a sleep over at the weekend, he isn’t someone she often actively plays with at school, AIBU not wanting her to go, as I feel she’s too young?

My kids (son and daughter) had regular reciprocal sleepovers from age 7. Many fond memories of those times now they are at university. Maybe we were lucky that nothing bad happened, who knows.

Trust your gut feeling OP and don’t feel pressured.

We did it loads. We trusted the parents and the kids loved it. We still go out with all the parents now the kids are at university and reminisce about those chaotic and fun times. No regrets or guilt at all!

My DD would be invited to sleepovers where I’d never met the Dad, and only said hello to the Mum at school pick up. They could have been Fred and Rose West for all I knew. It’s not OTT for a parent to not want their kids to stay overnight with people they don’t know.
