Your way of thinking is inspiring!  I so wish we had more people like you to inspire such mindset.  Bullying is an act of the weak and when we strengthen families, it will change.  We need more people like you around to change societies.  You are inspiring.  It is so simple and yet so powerful.  Thanks for sharing,  Ronit  Lgregory2,

I would say No as well.  Giving kids an opportunity to experience sleep over cannot be done at all cost.  With such children, I avoid even play time.  Trusting your gut instincts is listening to your own GPS and having a safe drive.  Just to make sure you son don't think he has a problem, you can arrange a sleep over with a kid that is good for him to associate with.  Guest,

(not that way when other parents are in charge)  I also do not know the parents that well except for a few short conversations at school or on field trips that we both attended.  I think that I and any other parent in this situation have a substantiated reason NOT to let their child spend the night.  It has nothing to do with something that has happened in MY past.   It is what is happening with my son and this child in the present.  It is certainly a fear though.  Fear that they get in a huge fight before the sleepover is complete.  I don't want a phone call at 2 a.m. saying that my son has a bloody nose or a black eye. On another note, my son does have a great friend who we have done several play dates with and my husband and I have developed a wonderful relationship with his parents.  It has never come up, but I would certainly feel comfortable letting my son spend the night with him. my son just turned 6 last week and was invited to spend the night with a child in his class.  I am not against sleepovers, but I am against a sleepover with this child.  He is the "troublemaker" of the class and he and my son almost had a fist fight on the playground last week.   His mom is also sometimes in charge of the aftercare at school and the kids are always "crazy" when I come to pick my son up when she is there.
