Another of those defining parenting moments......

Eldest (almost 9) has just shown enthusiasm for the first time about going on her first sleepover at her friends house.

GULPS

Just waiting to speak to the girls Mum first to verify the details........

I want to turn the clock back a few years...... I don't like all this :0(

Muffy loosen them apron strings,lol.
She's going for a sleepover not a rave, are they still playing in the street or was that a one off?
Come on they will thankyou for it in the long run, x

yeh loosen up. just make sure she only takes a half bottle and not a full one >>>>runs lol

Seriously though. If you know and trust the parents as well as the kids , she will be fine.

Marion lmao


Muffy, they're right you know. It's not easy but you have to loosen the apron strings a bit at a time. That way they grow up to become independant, well adjusted adults capable of making their way in the world and not scared of their own shadow. Not easy I know, I've been there but it has to be done.

Yeah still playing out the front though I'm more relaxed about taking my eyes off them than i was at the start.

LOL yeah cheers Marion....*puts tongue in cheek*....failing that I'll encourage her to water it down a bit

I know you're right Cat......and it's only going to get worse I know lol xx

**fast forwards a few years from now - worries for Muffy's sanity as she covertly follows Eldest on her first date**

Too right I will.........I'll be his worst nightmare LOLOL !! xx

Muffy from a non mum ( except to 2 asbo mutts ) ....Let her go


after finding out that it is a) cleared by parents b) they will be there c) what time bedtime is

and most important that your wine cupboard is stocked, you have video's to amuse ( or a meal booking out ) .

Remember we grew up and so will they

















ps find out what time she will be home in the morning !!!

Yeah it's all sorted Uzzi......just spoke to the girls mum who I know well and am 100% certain of ....so no worries there.

*deep breath*

No chance of a meal out .........still got youngest here to entertain who won't be impressed one bit about being here without her elder sister to terrororise lol xx

Muffy - OMG that's awful. If your 9 year old goes to a sleepover - then (oh horror of horrors) you've got to have a return sleepover at your house :(((

haha i thought i was an over protective mum lol

she will be fine shes 9 no boys r going are they??? lmaoooo
she will love it and hey you can always host a sleep over to to get to know her friends hahahahahaa

Oh hell I never thought of having to return the favour.......

ARGGGGGGGGGGGGH

Muffy how do you think my daughter feels........ her 15 year old daughter goes to mixed sleep overs, but she trusts her, what would you say to that one, lol.

I don't even want to think about it Mummo lololol

I tend to think I'll cross that bridge when I come to it lol xx

i went to mixed sleep overs they were fun but then we were all just mates and the thought fo even kissing any of them made us feel sicklmaooo

lmao

I have to say never in a million years would I have been allowed on a mixed sleep over once I hit puberty lol

I'd have had more chance of snogging George Michael lololol xx

i was night clubbing with all me mates "and me mum" when i was 15 dad elt me go ont he condition mam came n supervised "in a nytclub ffs lololol

Sounds reasonable to me hon........I think your mum has every right to chaperone you now tbh pmsl xx

to be honest shes always been a "cool" mum so it was ok
we had a screammmmmmmmmmm
