A child in Ds2s class turned up at the door about 9pm on Tuesday night to see if Ds2 could go for a sleepover at his house. We said no, he said "why not".
Well the reasons I have I'm not sure about. i feel I'm being judgemental.
Some of you may recall back to Januray when DS2 had some freinds round for his birthday, and one turned up very late with his older brother and the older brother said "my mum says I have to stay with X at the party as she is going out", or words to that effect. No asking me if it was ok. Anyway it's this child (the younger one).
After the party two of my neighoburs and one of the mothers of a child at the party told me soem things about the boys mum. They all told me exactly the same story, over the course of a few hours - what I mean is they weren't all huddled in a group gossiping together.
I have never met the mother,(so wouldn't let Ds2 go round there based on that) but based on the story i heard, I am not sure that I want DS2 going round there. Also the older brother - the one who invited himself to teh aprty - is the same age as DS1, and he threw a stone at the school windows and broke one of them.
That's another dilemma actually, do i tell the school who did it?
So, based on some story I have heard, am I being an unfair person to not allow my child to go this house?
