Do your children go on sleepovers?

Please read the article below and comment.  My children did very few sleepovers.  One they did I had regrets.  It wasn't anything horrible, but it was things I did not agree with.  As a therapist I have heard way too many stories in my office about what happens on sleepovers, so I have become jaded and cynical.  You can assume that other families have the same values you do, but that is not always true.  I would love to hear your input.

I slept over at my friends' houses a lot when I was a child, and was exposed to things in a Christian home that were worse than a non-Christian home. Our girls have slept over once at a friend's house when they were together - it was fine, but not something we want to repeat in the near future. Other than that, we do not do slumber parties, and they have not even spent the night at a relative's house without us.

Thank you anonymous. I think even in the past a lot went on at sleepovers, but it was never talked about. Ultimately, we have to protect your children.
