Children and Sleep-overs - Page 2

I had plenty of sleepovers growing up, but of course only with girls and they were always close friends or cousins. The sane rules for my brothers. When I went to friends house, we never had anything about call if you are uncomfortable or anything. I just didn't go to anyone's house where such an occasion would EVER arise. The only reason I would go home was if I was homesick

I did have to call home before watching a movie though to make sure my parents approved.

I had a buddy growing up and we practically lived between each other's houses. But only on the weekends. Not during school nights.

It seems like times have really changed and I just wanted to get some other opinions on whether the sleep-over is really a good idea anymore. If not, how do you explain to your children that this is not allowed?

I don't have children but have knowledge of sexual abuse, by my friends who are parents. The world is full of porn and children always tend to find it and share it with friends. I have witnessed twice young children gazing at porn while their parent was in the room.
