I support compromise. All parents must be told, and let them stay out very very late and all the girls sleep over at your house.
The sleep over is not at her place it is not her responsibility to tell the other parents, she isn't deciding for the other parents, she is deciding for the other girls. I think its best to just stay away from what other parents do or don't know and getting involved in what their children do. It makes things too messy.

Clearly I skimmed the "crotch pheasant" stuff.

The other kids should tell their parents, not the OP.

Really? So you don't think the other parents should be told if the event goes on, with her daughter going?

And if they don't that is an issue within THAT family.
And you have your terms for describing the boys mother and her flock and I have mine.

I think the OP's daughter should try and get her friends to tell their parents but can you imagine if the OP gets involved? The girls already lied to their parents you can bet your ass that the OP's daughter is the only girl going if the other girls parents find out they already lied.

If you know the brother well, if you know for certain they will not drink, if you know for certain there is no sexual stuff, if you know for certain that they don't smoke pot, if you know for certain that they will stay put in the yard and not leave then I would say, "yes".

And yet a good number of these "great" kids are fully willing to lie to their parents to get what they want.

Good idea, either way she isn't getting any sleep that night because if she lets her daughter go she won't get any sleep, if she doesn't let her go she'll have an angry child keeping her up all night begging to go.

But you have to ask? If her back yard as cool?
Is there a fire pit, lots of room, and fun stuff to do.

Because they know they are good kids, they know they won't do anything wrong and they know their parents are suspicious, unreasonable people who believe they will.
