....But still, sexual abuse can happen in an INSTANT, in broad daylite.


I know it is true and it makes me sick to even think about it.


But STILL ... who is to know what a father or older brother is REALLY like?


True enough...just on the news recently a man was charged for molesting his daughters little friend at a sleep over in his home and these families had supposedly known each other for quite a while.

In this area, a lock-in can be anywhere or any group.

Wow - that sounds like a LOT of fun!!! I want to go - can you imagine one for us at the mall? Or a winery!! LOL!! Some place where we could have adult conversation, a nice meal, someone to do the dishes - and no one to utter the word "mom" for 24 hours. hehehehe

We can have that! Unfortunately, at the end of the evening (earlier that we'd like) we end up paying the babysitting tab and ending it ;)

For sleepovers, I have 2 boys (5 and 9) and we just ran into that last week. We'd all been at a birthday party with family friends, and the kids were just sort of invited to sleep over. Worked out great, although all the moms made fun of single me for planning on going home and enjoying some quiet time to myself. Didn't work out that way due to getting to see the BF though ;)

In terms of people I don't know, even with boys you worry. I don't think I'd let them stay somewhere unless I really knew the parents, although anyone is welcome to stay here. It's coming, and I'm not quite sure what to do about it either :/
