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. 😭

No sleepovers esp someone you hardly know. No mamn. I agree. She can be mad all she wants to but she won't be molested or exposed to who knows what.
Your husband should not argue with you about discipline in the front of your child.
She can thank you later when she is grown up and safe. Period.

@REMsleep She won’t be thanking her for depriving her of totally normal childhood experiences.
