Hi all, I'm posting under a different name because this is a sensitive and difficult question that I've been worrying about for weeks.
My 7yo has been asked for a sleepover at her best friend's house. When we had this friend over for a sleepover last time I caught the friend laughing about "f**king you up the b*m". Sorry for the obvious there, but I feel I have to spell it out, because that is pretty disturbing in my books. It's not good is it!
When my daughter last had a sleepover at the friend's, I arrived to find the sibling (not much older) watching clips of 9/11 - the actual planes hitting the buildings. He has also spoken about sex when he has been at our house.
I don't want to project manage my children's friendships. I am fine that they will be like people that I don't particularly like. But I just find the language and behaviour of this other family really disturbing. I really am uncomfortable about her going on a sleepover with this family. What would you do? What would you say, both to them and to my daughter? She knows about the invite and really wants to go.
