Sleepovers and single parents...

Same with me. I dont also allow my daughters to sleepover with their friends or classmates. It's better that their classmates sleepover with us. Im so protective with my daughter that I dont want that something will happen to them.

Yeah, I would let them go. I mean, a single dad is a PARENT, and just because he's a man doesn't mean he's going to be devious with the children. Besides, that guy's daughter deserves to have a life like any other teenager, and have friends sleep over... how badly would her feelings be hurt to know that her friends were not allowed to sleep over because she doesn't have a mother in the house????

it would not matter to me if the parent was a single dad, single mom, married couple, living together couple...it would depend on how well i knew the friend and the parents. i wouldn't let my child go to a sleepover at anyones house without meeting the parents first. i would have to make my own judgement call based on how i felt about the other child, what i felt about the parent or parents, how many other children were going to be there, if i knew all the other children, the planned activities for the night. i would never make my child stay away just because it was a single dad. i have personally known some wonderful single fathers out there with daughters and it's sad to think that other parents would make his daughter miss out on the normal sleep over parties and such just because her mother wasn't around....think of the poor child going thru that judgement of her dad. i say shame on all the parents that make this child suffer because she is being raised by her dad and give him a chance to be the good parent he's trying to be, get to know him and let him provide for his daughter just as you want to provide for your own daughters!!

absolutely not..it's ridiculous, parents should be conscious what their children would be doing and to look always for safety of their kids. even if you know the single parent(dad). you'll never know what's gonna happen.
