[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 5595480, member: 9037"] The best thing is to just let it go. As a parent myself I would get pissy after I made a decision and then felt I had to defend it. There maybe things going on in the family that you are not aware of and that the parents don't want to tell you. When my son was young he had to have surgery on his urinary tract which had a side effect of bed wetting. This is hard on a child even when his parents are supportive and doctors are telling him you will outgrow this give it time. He was invited to a sleepover and didn't want to go because of it. So to protect him I played the bad guy and told him to tell his friends that mom said no. The mom called me and tried to talk me into it. I politely tried to explain that I was not comfortable letting my son sleep away from home yet. She really pushed and I got short. I didn't want to tell her about the bed wetting because I had promised my son I wouldn't and I didn't trust this mom to be discrete enough. The only time I would try is if the parent had reservations and let you know what they are. You could then address those reservations. [/QUOTE]
