How old were your children before you let them stay at a friend's house for a sleepover? And did you know the parents of the host child well beforehand?
I ask because youngest SD is going to be 9 in a few weeks and was planning a sleepover for her birthday. She invited 5 girls from her class, only 1 is allowed to come. Apparently because the other children's parents don't know MrKB they aren't allowed to stay over.
MrKB drops and collects youngest at school every week, 3 times a week for the past 2 years. All of the parents know who he is, but none bother to say hello (typical school ground behaviour) But personally I think it's a bit off that these children aren't allowed to stay over. Is this normal?
