When they know that it is the rule from the get go they just accept it. They are our children and the Lord has entrusted us to do what we feel is best for them. We are blessed to have the gift of the Holy Ghost to help us make such decisions as a couple.<BR/><BR/>I was a good kid and I had good friends but the "pack mantality" comes into play at sleepovers. Things happened for me that shouldn't of and as a child you feel great fear and anxiety when trying to "be strong" when you are in someone else's home especially late at night. And besides that, it really is a different world we live in. I think that the many "sexual" problems in the world right now are everywhere...more than any of us know. And unlike times past, these dangers are easily accessed in the home both by tv, and the internet (even with wonderful parents). It is just too easy. I have learned many times that you can only know as much about a person as they let you know. And people don't show their "deamons", so to speak.<BR/><BR/>There is simply too much danger that I see, it isn't worth the possible good that can come out of sleepovers. 3 parts good, 2 parts bad...those odds aren't acceptible to me especially when I have complete control over whether it happens or not. And even with this rule, I don't think my I am TOO overprotective or that my children will be lacking in any way. Actually, I feel quite opposite, it is my job to be the leader in our home and I will do my best to teach our children what is right, let them have lots of good fun, and guide them through this crazy world as best I can.Leahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999370128092260805.post-91825040463920281872009-04-05T09:58:00.000-06:002009-04-05T09:58:00.000-06:00OK, my kids aren't old enough for sleepovers yet, ...OK, my kids aren't old enough for sleepovers yet, so I haven't had to say anything except no! But we were talking about this at work the other day- the "protecting their innocence" thing, and I totally agree, but at the same time, we get too protective and they miss out on being kids in some ways. Just the other day I got a call from Gage's teacher telling me he had "threatened another childs life" WHAT?!!!! He had made the throat slitting gesture to another kid...excuse me? Did you not do that to some kid who was driving you nuts when you were a kid? I just think it's pretty ridiculous when children aren't allowed to be kids...BUT- I don't know when I'll let my kids do the sleepover thing or if I will either. That's a tough one for me more because I don't like that my children are imposing on another family and their family time...does that sound dumb? I think we need to trust our own children- really they just want to be kids, right?Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18428467058401671212noreply@blogger.com
