Would you let your 13 year-old go to a sleepover party with 12 - 15 other kids? (this question pertains to what is happening right now, not pre-Covid times).
ETA: Sleepover in a smaller sized three bedroom house

I don’t think I would, no.

No way! I wouldn't even let my child go to a NON-sleepover party with that many kids right now.

I’m pretty relaxed and willing to go pretty much anywhere open but even I'd say no to this. The only exception being if they were camping in their own tents.

No, and I'm not even very geeked up about this whole thing.
What parent is allowing their kid to have a huge flock of kids over right now? They must really be nuts.

No. Gatherings of more than 10 are not currently allowed in my state. That's also a lot of kids on top of one another.

No, I wouldn't allow it.
I would be ok with my daughter socially distancing with a friend or two outside only. It hasn't been a problem since none of her friends are allowed out of their house.

Nope, and even more so as our numbers are rising since Memorial Day.

We had two people in our yard yesterday and had them pee on the trees.
Nope.

Nope. My kid is finally old enough where if she wanted to go to a sleep over I’d let her (depending on the family), but with Covid? Big time nope.

My 14 year old was invited to his good friends birthday party last weekend. 10 kids and outdoor swimming. I was really on the fence but decided he could go. We are opening phase 3 today with very few cases in our city. He hadn’t seen his friends since mid March and I am glad I let him go. Hearing him talk about the party/seeing him smile - definitely something he needed.
I would have been very uncomfortable with him going to an indoor get together/sleepover.

No, no and no! It would also make me question the common sense of the person (hope it isn't you!) hosting this and thinking it is okay right now. Even if you live in the state with the lowest rates of covid, it only takes 1 person to infect everyone in such close quarters.

Schools are open, so yes, I would.
ETA as long as it’s not in my house.

No. We are also only in phase 1.5 here, so that would go against SIP. What are the SIP guidelines where you are?

Even if you live in the state with the lowest rates of covid, it only takes 1 person to infect everyone in such close quarters. No, it's not me that's hosting. My daughter is friends with twin girls and it's their dad who is hosting. He rented an Airbnb place that is about 20 minutes from where we live. He invited their soccer, volleyball, basketball teams and school friends. So far 12 girls have confirmed and 3 are maybes. There could be more coming! My husband and I said no to our daughter. She started crying (and crying). The drama. The girls having the sleepover are already posting on social media about it. Party is tonight so I know the other girls attending the party will be posting tonight. I texted a friend who I really respect and admire. I was a little shocked when she said she is allowing her daughter to go. At the beginning of this Covid thing she herself had a sleepover planned for her daughter and canceled it. Her father-in-law has cancer and she didn't want to potentially expose him. Of course now I'm feeling bad. My daughter really wants to see her friends. I'm just not comfortable with the whole situation.

I don't think I would. I have let my 13 y/o go to two very small sleepovers in the last few weeks now that things are "opening" back up. BUT... I KNOW all of the families (parents) involved and KNOW that they were very "safe" during all of this.

Not a chance. I might be okay with a sleepover with like ONE other kid - IF I knew the family had been following all of the social distancing protocols (distancing, masks, staying home except in cases of absolute necessity, etc.)

My daughter was invited to a sleepover with just her 4 closest friends this past weekend but I said no. That’s nuts. Do I want her in an enclosed space with people who aren’t careful? The shocking thing to me was that she thought I would say yes. She’s only left the house once in The past 2 months. She just turned 15, so she can be drama, but no crying from her for this. I did tell her she can go swimming with these friends.

Kind of shocked that that many people said yes. I must run in a pretty covid conservative group of friends because I think it would be a no from all of us.
My son just hung out with a friend for the first time. Only 1, they went swimming and watched a movie outside. I anticipate that’s what most of the summer will look like for him.
