Is it coming to that? That kind of micro-managing our lives.

I'm very surprised the liberal la-la states have not regulated slumber parties!

So you want the neighborhood kids to do a sleep-over with you? You are one sick puppy.

Call me overprotective, but my daughter only sleeps over at her grandmothers house.

You'll get in less trouble bringing cocaine to an elementary school than you will bringing a peanut.

Who is 'they'?

A kid can set up a lemonade stand here with no hassles. No hassles anywhere for them in this entire area.
Maybe it's different in Texas, but your statement is an over-generalization.

I wouldn't worry much about sleepovers. Parents these days are much more watchful and protective of their kids in general than they were when I was growing up, for sure. And the world is not full of perverts; the vast majority of parents are just as concerned about their kid's well being as they ever were. Single parents often don't have the energy to wrangle a bunch of kids on a sleepover, so some kids aren't going to get to have one, but I'm not buying into fear.

If I had a grandkid old enough for a sleepover, I would go check the parents out if I didn't know them, and decide for myself if they're OK or not, just as I did when my kids were little. We got checked out too, and that's how it should be.

I think you should an IQ test to make a thread here. When you write something that has pointless whining complaining about liberals when you give no context makes you seem foolish.
