I asked her if Susan’s dad will be there (she lives with him) and she replied no, he will be at his girlfriends house but said Susan can have a sleepover.
Um. Okay. I then asked her if there will be boys there. To which she replied yes.
Our final text has ended with me saying she can go to the get together but I will be picking her up at midnight.
I know I’m doing the right thing but I just need to vent here before I get some really angry response from her. I feel like I’m policing her but it’s my job to protect her.
I’m pretty certain she’s not into drugs/alcohol etc.
Okay I’m going to post this before my mind wanders further.

you're doing the right thing, don't worry. Part of being the parent is having to deal with the fact that it's not going to be easy to do the right thing to protect and teach our children all the time.
Especially at the age of 15 a mix of boys and girls at a sleep over is really kind of asking for trouble.
To be honest I wonder what kind of a dad allows hie 15 yr old to have a co-ed sleepover when he doesn't even plan on being there!? hell I wouldn't let my kids have a party in my house without me there even if there were only one gender! o.o what's up with that. I question his parenting over yours!
