Please don't think I was calling you disrespectful, I was not at all.
It would drive us all insane if we worried about whether or not every little freaking thing we did
might offend someone...for FSM's sake, that's what's gotten us into this freaking PC crazy world we are in right now.
My daughter is going to a sleepover party for a friend that she met through school, and is in our Daisy troop. I will ask what they plan on doing for the night when we drop her off. If there is anything I wish my daughter didn't participate in, I'll let them know, as well as tell my daughter WHY I don't want her to do it.
Should she come home and tell me they ended up doing whatever it was I didn't agree with, lets say, watched a horror movie (they are 6) and ate candy all night, so that she comes home exhausted and terrified to go to sleep that night, I would be pissed, (mostly because i have to spend the next 48 hours with a brat) but depending on the actual damage done I'm not sure how I would handle the situation. Ask me Monday
Edited to add, I really am pretty easy going, and I really doubt that there is anything that would happen that would bother me to the point of me not letting her go, or not letting her play with said friend after the fact. It's my responsibilty to explain to my daughter why I don't agree, why I don't want her to do whatever, and her responsibility to respect my wishes, or suffer the punishment if she chooses not to...
