Gd is 14 (lives with us) she wants to go to a sleepover. There will be 10 girls, none of whom I've met. Nor have I met the host parent. She's been a bit sneaky in the past so I don't entirely trust her, so I've said no. She's very upset. Would you let her go?

You sound like a wonderful GP, taking care of newborn, and letting all the teenagers sleep over. I am so impressed.

What Clara said. You deserve the wine.

Excellent compromise 50Bales !

I think as hosting parent I would be terribly torn between treating her as a teen and being terrified of having a vulnerable young person who has already suffered " failure to protect" already, in my care.
