Quick question re: protocol for sleepovers

[smallnotfaraway]

I'm new to this concept - we didn't have them when I was little, so I don't really know, which is why it might seem a bit of a silly question, but I just don't want to do the wrong thing.

Ok, what it is, is this: If my dc goes for a sleepover, and a pick up/drop off has only been vaguely arranged (host said she'd drop him off back at my house)- should I wait for the host to call re: confirming that everything is ok and that she'll be coming over/confirming if I'd be coming to theirs, or do I phone first to see how things are?

I'm going to be of little help to you I fear - but why not ask the host?
I would imagine that you know where your DC is off to and how many others will be there (sorry you don't give ages so it could be anything from 5-17), but if your'e new to the way this works in your area, maybe the best person to ask is the person running the sleepover?
That surely can't be the 'wrong' thing to do - can it?

phone and ask.

Thanks for responses - I know it's just me just me being silly, and not wanting to appear to be a panicky parent. My ds is 11, and was staying over at his friend's house - his mum had said she'd bring him back 'in the afternoon' unless I was going into town. I hand't heard from her at all during the day, and just wondered if it was normal and not appearing paranoid if I had telephoned in the morning to see if everything was ok. In fact, I eventually rang at quarter to 6 in the evening after not hearing anything.

On reflection, I think she was being a bit flakey by not telling me what she had planned for their day, but maybe I was wrong by not ringing to find out. Oh well. I'll know to be better organised in the future for my own peace of mind.
