Trina

DD (Gr. 4) just came home with an invitation for a sleepover birthday party. Problem is, I don't know this child or her family at all. Have never even met them. DD has gone to several sleepovers, but I have known all the families, have been to their houses, and was comfortable letting her go. Of course DD wants to attend this party. I can at least call the mother to inform her of DD's severe food allergies, asthma and pet allergies, etc., but I'm still not comfortable. I mentioned to DD the possibility of going to the party but not sleeping over, but of course that went over like a lead balloon. Argh...
