Will you approve a sleepover for a 12 year old girl at her friend's house?

My 12 year old daughter wants to sleep over at her friend's house. I said no, because I don't know her friend's parents and I don't know the background of the child's family. And now, she is mad at me because I wont let her have a sleepover tomorrow. I said to her she could stay there from 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm, but no sleepover. She is still not happy with it. My husband is not helping at all as he just keep on saying "yes" to sleepover, contradicting me once again. I am upset and not happy. I am just avoiding the topic now and put myself on a timeout. 😭

I never let my kids sleep over at anyone's house if I didn't know the parents really well. I did what you offered - to let them go over for a while and I'd pick them up at a certain time. They weren't happy at the time but they forgot about it by the next day

I think this is very understandable and there is a big reason why it's a no. I am just upset because I have no back up from my husband about this situation and he just want to say "yes" all the time. He is playing the "good cop" again to make me look bad.@Jenny1234

@tryingtobeOK your husband needs to be on your side about it.
