No way in hell. It sucks and is definitely unfair to the child but there’s just no way. Wife and I are real picky on families our 12 year old can do sleepovers with to the point where some of them got low-key offended and we don’t give a damn. Safety first. The ironic part is that a lot of the women refusing are probably single moms. A couple of them should just take their ass over to the house and stay there too.

I have two daughters. Unfortunately, sleepovers are a no go. You can do it when you’re 18.

It’s wild because some of my fondest memories were sleep overs with the neighbors and cousins.

You look up the sexual abuse stats and you will see why our generation is more protective of our children. Hell something like 30% of women have been molested/abused and of the 30%, what number is by “family” or people they know.

Sometimes the risk isn’t worth the “reward” of spending the night at your friend’s house. They can spend the evening and get dropped off.
:ufdup:
It’s definitely more than 30% many of which go unreported.

I just spoke to one of my friends who I’ve known since I was 9 who is now a mom herself and she is saying it probably would be a no from her mom. She’s gonna ask her anyway.

Funny enough Daddy was leaving me here there and everywhere as a kid of ppl he trusted. They were fine; it was the people they knew that could have been a problem so u just never know. Your direct contact may be fine but who are their friends.

And sometimes it’s not the adults you have to worry about out sometimes it’s the other kids too, god knows what they’ve witnessed and experienced.

Why is it that parents used to let their kids sleep over more in the70s,80s ,90s I’m sure molestation rates were high then too, shyt maybe higher.

Everything was literally community based in most black communities back in the day… You knew damn near everybody in the neighborhood…. No such thing as a stranger for the most part…. I remember being able to get something to eat at anyone’s house for the most part

If I knew the father, yes. My friend’s cousin (who I spent a lot of time around) wife died from cancer. He has a 10 year old daughter, does his daughter no longer get to have normal things because he’s a single dad now? The parents who know him, they’d feel safer with some woman there they don’t know?

Maybe dude in OP could’ve asked one of the mothers to stay over as well…I don’t know, but this type of stuff just highlights how much community and connection has broken down. Back in the day, your parents spent some time getting to know your friends parents so stuff like group sleepovers (because my parents were really strict about 1:1 sleepovers) could happen.

I will never get the sleepover shyt. My kids can feel any kind of way, but that shyt aint allowed and wont be allowed until they move out.

My daughters only sleep over my moms house. And even then i get anxiety just cuz.

I dont even let my daughters (5and8) sit on my lap or any male relative lap. cuz, unc, grandpops, etc. not happening.
