to not let my 6 year old go on this sleepover

[mumto2andnomore]

my 6 year old (Y2) came home from school today with a party invitation to go swimming them McDonalds and a sleepover at the childs dads. I know who the child is, dont know either of his parents, they havent been for tea or anything.

Im quite shocked that they think I will let my 6 year old go off for the afternoon and night with someone they and I dont know, dads house is about 15 miles away.

Hes not going but just wondered if others would feel the same ?

I feel sleepovers at that age are too much too young.

My friend mentioned the other day that she was thinking of inviting ds over for a sleepover I told her that I didn't think it was a good idea for the following reasons; he would be too excited and would probably not sleep, our weekends are sacred we enjoy spending Saturday evenings as a family and I have no intention of returning the favour. I told her to ask again when ds is 9.

YANBU, there is no way I would let DS go to a sleepover yet even if I knew the parents. I wouldn't do a playdate where I didnt know the parents.
