Hopefully it wont be much longer.<br /><br />I think you should ask her if she thinks she is ready to sleep there all night. If you know the parents and the other girls...that is great because in a few short years she'll be wanting to go to sleep overs at new friends houses etc.<br />I used to tell the other parents that I was a freak, not ready etc... I would even ask if they had guns in their home. <br />I say, since you feel good about the parents...let her do what she feels like she can. Then just tell her to call you anytime if she needs to come home. <br />It is really hard for sure.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292381619675040864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337251116024703387.post-89940725815330285302011-01-20T19:00:29.239-08:002011-01-20T19:00:29.239-08:00If it helps I have heard from A LOT of mothers tha...If it helps I have heard from A LOT of mothers that their boys have the same problem. I think it's very normal and takes time for them to learn to wake up for that feeling. I totally understand the laundry thing! It will get better...at least less frequent soon. Hang in there!<br /><br />And the sleepover thing...why can't kids be kids anymore? I mean little kids don't need to do sleepovers but that's what they all want to do. It's especially hard when you feel like you are the only one who is concerned! Colin went to a sleepover a<br />few months ago where I actually asked the Mom where her husband's guns were and if they were locked up? {a lot of people hunt around here so most people have guns...scares me half to death}. She was very nice, but I'm sure she thought I was a nut. Don't care though...We have to watch out for our kids. The end. So, don't feel overprotective, you are doing what you should!Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132505433283518763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337251116024703387.post-62169718831940939732011-01-20T10:39:52.674-08:002011-01-20T10:39:52.674-08:00Hi Jenny,

That usually takes a little longer to master :-) <br />As for the sleepovers... Hayley just had her first a couple weeks ago and she is in 4th. I don't think you are being overprotective, times have changed. The reason she went to this one is because I knew the Mom well. It was also only 5 kids total, plus Hayley is already asking to have one for her birthday. But she's 9 almost 10 in May so I'm trying to loosen the apron strings a little :-) But it's hard.... Good luck!<br />Blessings,<br />JillJillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14904921240840944999noreply@blogger.com
