Then we dropped her off at the house. You ever just not feel right about something but can't quite pinpoint why? Well, I had that feeling after dropping her off.
Turns out I was right. The next day I was working so of course didn't have my cell phone on me. At 1pm when I was done I saw I had two messages so I listened. They were from some other mom that I don't know saying that the sleepover mom had gotten sick and this mom had picked up my kid. Excuse me? What? She just handed my kid over to some other mom without me knowing? I'm sorry but that's not how I do things. You call ME and tell ME what's going on and I can decide what to do with MY kid. What ticks me off even more is I purposely gave them both my cell and hubby's knowing that I would be at work the next day so they'd have both. My husband received no call.
At that's not even the best part. I found out Wednesday night that they allowed the girls to watch Orphan, an R rated horror film. I haven't seen it but from what I gather online it was not at all appropriate for 10 and 11 year old girls. Which is beside the point. To me R rated = my 11 year does not see it!! Though my daughter claims these other girls have all seen it. Am I living under a rock? Are all parents that irresponsible. No wonder this world is F'd up!
I was concerned about showing Twilight the last time we had a couple of her friends over here for a sleepover and asked all the moms if that was OK. What was I thinking? That's only PG-13!
Needless to say my daughter will not be going to that house anymore! And now I'm going to be even more overbearing and protective of her than I already am. I think I need to start some type of screening process for her friends and their parents before I let her go anywhere anymore, ha!

Oh girl, I could write a book on stuff like this.
Firstly, Noooo she didn't send her somewhere else?!?!? I would have been ticked! And watching Orphan??? I saw that!!! Not good for a kid her age...Ugh!
Some people just don't have sense and yes, that is why the world is screwy like it is!
Oh hellz no. Sara spent the night with a friend and her Mom took them to a rated R movie. She will NOT be going back over there again!
Holy Heck! I would be furious. That's so wrong on so many levels. I understand the overprotective thing. I have a hard time with that too.
So wrong on many many levels! No kid should be watching any R rated movies. It is important that we know who are kids are friends with and even more important their parents. I was recently burned in that area...so just because you know someone doesn't mean you know them. Trust your instincts, us mama's know.

My daughter hasn't reached the sleepover age yet, but this story demonstrates exactly why I am scared of that day!
I haven't seen Orphan, but I have heard about it....definitely not for 11 year olds at all. Those parents are beyond crazy!
