Question about sleepovers

[blackribbon]

I just don’t feel comfortable letting her sleep at someone else’s house. Especially with her friends, I wouldn’t even want to guess what they would plan to do

14 is pretty old for having never gone to a sleepover. If the behavior of her friends is why, then your real issue is with your daughter...not them. Why does she consider these girls to be friend material? And why at 14, do you not trust her to behave appropriately even if her friends don't. She is 4 years away from being a legal adult and you have zero legal say in her life. By sheltering her, you are not allowing her to grow into a woman who is able to make good adult choices. These are things learned over time.

Remember, your role as a mother is to teach your children how live independent adult lives. Not to be afraid of life. And not to always be "children" who need their mommy. Our jobs is to prepare our baby birds to fly...and eventually push them out of the nest like a momma bird so they can live their own life.
