I'm adopting it because I personally think sleepovers are a terrible idea in most cases. I recognize that my kids won't like it and that other parents will think I'm nuts but that's okay with me.

My poor daughter is going to be very sheltered.

So that helps her survive on her own how?

I won't be overprotective forever, just until she understands things

It'll be phased as circumstances and maturity dictate.

I'm with you. My girls won't be having sleepovers. I'm just too paranoid.

Totally agree.

Shouldn't be happening....

Please link to the talk from any GA that says we shouldn't have sleepovers.

Gene R Cook (70) talks about it extensively in his book.

A key quote from that passage...

Unless the spirit's told you never to allow sleepovers, right?

LosAlcoug

2/9/16 10:43am

What if the spirit told me to allow sleepovers? Really inconsistent spirit huh?

CougarBacker

2/9/16 10:44am

No, that's fine. I'm not advocating that YOU should or shouldn't do anything

LosAlcoug

2/9/16 10:50am

Yes and No. The spirit isn't going to tell you to break a commandment unless

Sure there may be circumstances that the spirit tells you to avoid a

The spirit told me to stop talking to you because you tend to infer too much and

Knock yourself out. I couldn't care less what you do with your kids as long as

CougarBacker

I just think it's disingenuous of people to try and use some random church talk

CougarBacker

2/9/16 10:21am

I never did, you asked for it so I gave it to you.

VenetianCougar

Subjects like this on Cougarboard make me love my parents even more for not

CougarBacker

2/9/16 9:59am

Disagree but we don't raise each other's kids so that's fine.

VenetianCougar

2/9/16 10:13am

You disagree that a sheltered child makes an unproductive adult? I bet I could

CougarBacker

2/9/16 10:24am

Calm down there chief.

VenetianCougar

2/9/16 10:37am

Sounds good tiger. Please continue with your sheltered parenting now.

CougarBacker

Funny you say Tiger. Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom is my bible.

VenetianCougar

Sounds like it. I hope that works out for you down the road.

CougarBacker

2/9/16 11:34am

This is laughable.

LosAlcoug

2/9/16 10:26am

Sheltering is a relevant term and the fact that you inferred that I am

CougarBacker

2/9/16 10:31am

I think you mean relative term

LosAlcoug

You sound like someone who knows so much about so little. Or is it so little

So going to law school means I grew up with a silver spoon?

LosAlcoug

2/9/16 10:53am

So allowing sleepovers means I was born with a silver spoon? See the irony?

CougarBacker

Wow. Reading comprehension fail.

That idea seems to be gaining steam now a days which is good.

Just make sure she's ugly.

Dillinger

Won't happen, but i'll raise her to be nerdy.

Is it bad for me to have a little hope that my daughter is a bit chubby?

Yes

shimmy

2/8/16 6:39pm

Not unhealthily... but just enough to allow those to need to recongnize her

crm48

2/8/16 6:46pm

Hoping she is less attractive will be worse. Hope for more confidence, not less

shimmy

2/8/16 7:13pm

There are plenty of confident chubby girls! They just have less sex driven dudes
