to ask If I my reaction to this is normal?

[TraditionalSemi]

I'm a namechanger, and have changed some identifying details but the gist of it remains the same.

My 7 year old neice has started doing sleepovers at her best friend's house, probably 2 to 3 a month.

The family are lovely and well known to me and my family, for over 8 years.

I was speaking to the mom last week and she mentioned how comfortable Maisie (say) is at her house.

To the extent that Maisie and Lola (the best friend) are often found in bed with Lola's mummy and daddy in the night.

The parents sleeep naked.

I was a bit taken aback by this and I am now worried that my reaction is misplaced.

How would you feel?

(Please note, I do not feel that Maisie is in any danger at all, but am surprised at the openness of this family)

MNHQ, that might be a good idea.

Thanks (on behalf of OP)

Absolutely.

FWIW, the OP PMed me and she's a poster well-known to me and probably to everyone on this thread. I'm sure she's genuine.

I also don't think it's likely there's anything suspect going on with the situation described and a sure-fire way to attract trolls is to discuss them on-thread.

Hello again. We're going to move this thread to Parenting now. Seems to be a better place for it...

Sorry Helen for tardiness - I have a freezing laptop.

Yes, thank you for moving it - I shall be more circumspect in future.

I want to say that I am sorry if I offended you Traditional I'm not usually a troll hunter...but ther have been some really odd threads on here which have turned out to be weird people.....and the subject matter coupled with your name change made me think twice...often these threads are concerning innapropriate behaviour between children and adults.

I think some of my suspicion came from the way you worded your OP....some of the phrasing was a bit cold sounding....apologies again if this is hurtful.

I also had a bad day....and one of the names you chose for the girls is in fact the name of one of my children, which may have made me feel even weirder. Sorry and I hope you don't feel bad anymore.

I ought to clarify for anyone reading this that MN let me know that Traditional was a regular user and had namechanged....they did say that they understood my concerns....but I do want to let people know that this was not a troll thread.

Thank you for coming back and apologising HelloKlitty.
