Do u guys feel comfortable sending your children to slumber parties?
Re: Slumber parties
no..i mean when I will have kids, there is no way that I will allow it even if I know the family very well neither would I invite any children to my house for one.. just not my cup of tea :-)
ps: check your fb messages :-)

Re: Slumber parties
And if she ever gives me trouble about this I'll just simply tell her honey you are born to the wrong set of parents and nothing can be done now.
Re: Slumber parties
LOL!
Re: Slumber parties
No...i wouldn't let them go to one....but I may be open with a friend or two..(if we know the family really well) to come over and have a sleep over at our place.
Re: Slumber parties
i find an odd comfort in these replies. Good to know that my parents weren’t the only ones who thought like this. :k:
Re: Slumber parties
No. I will not.
They can have a party at my house but she will not be allowed anywhere else. Same rules that applied to me.
Re: Slumber parties
Some of my fondest childhood memories are my "sleepovers". I was allowed to invite my best friend over and was allowed to go to her house a couple of times a year. We'd get the pull-out sleeper couch in the den and watch old movies till the wee hours. We watched those old fred astaire/ginger rogers and ziegfeld follies movies and ate popcorn and treats till we almost puked. then sleep till almost lunchtime. It was SOOOO much fun.
Re: Slumber parties
My parents never allowed me to sleepover EXCEPT with close cousins OR the daughters of very close family friends that had become a second family when they all met in the US in the 70s. Other than that, I was not allowed to sleep over. My parents would let me go to the party and would come to pick me up, and let it be late at times so I could still enjoy myself.
I did not have sleepover parties either (except with the above-mentioned people). Until I finished the Quran and was allowed to have a party.
Anyway, most of the slumber parties my friends invited me to were not really corrupting at all. But what I hear nowadays really troubles me. I don't think I'll allow my kids to sleepover, unless I know the family and other attendees very well.
Re: Slumber parties
i was never allowed to sleepover not even at a mamu or phuphos house....nor was i allowed to have anyone sleep at my house ...and i feel like it was one of the best things my parents ever did...therefore my son or daughter will not be allowed sleepovers or anyone sleeping over at our house either
Re: Slumber parties
I had some of my best childhood memories at sleepovers...never anything wrong..no boys or anything. Just amazing bonding time with a bunch of girlies. If you know the parents will be there, then what is the problem? If you are scared about the parents being western and not having a Pakistani "mindset", let me tell you that most western parents are just as strict with their young girls and scared about all the same things you are.
Re: Slumber parties
nopes... we were told we could stay as long as we wanted but sleep is for ones own house and ones own bed... we werent allowed to hold them nor were we allowed to go to them.
not with friends that were basically like family.. nor family itself
and so the tradition will go on .. will be fun to feel what my parents probably felt like when the little ones hate ure guts :D
