  seven years old. He was like, Mommy, he's been asking me repeatedly

  to have sleepovers with classmates, you know, with COVID and stuff. I
• 0:28
  didn't get to know all of the parents like you normally would, right,
• 0:31
  But I still, even if I didn't know, I'm like, eh,

  not but I know that I would take care of our kids in a healthy,
• 0:40
  safe whatever. I don't want my boy going to somebody else's house.

  seven year old son wants to start having sleepovers with friends from his class,
• 1:26
  and I was like, nope, they can come here, but I'm not
• 1:29
  ready to let my baby go out into the world with people that I don't
• 1:32

• 1:34
  I'll ever be okay with it. So what age is the right age where

• 1:52
  it's really fun. Okay, So what age does your parents say yes,
• 1:55
  you're allowed to go to a sleepover? I mean doing it in violence?
• 2:00
  Probably like seven because we used to live in New Park, so we
• 2:02
  have like a lot of close friends. Okay, all right, etiquette,
• 2:06
  but your parents know them very well. Is your mom there? Yeah?
• 2:08
  Let me ask her then? Hello, hey mom, how do you feel
• 2:12
  about your kids going away to sleepovers? So I still always prefer my house,
• 2:15
  but I know that she needs it, so I let her go.

• 2:22
  all with my friend's kids. Okay, but you know the people well,
• 2:24
  right, correct? Yeah, my son wanted to go with a classmate and
• 2:28
  I was like, I don't know his parents, so that's a no.
• 2:30

  Bye? Do you know vibe? It's to Erica's show. I made Nick
• 2:43
  Jordan coming him from our sister station. Because everybody is saying they agree with
• 2:47
  me, but you in the hallway said that is lame. I'm being an
• 2:51
  overbearing parent because of the sleepover to Oh yeah, you're being crazy. There's
• 2:53
  nothing wrong with that. My mom used to let me go sleep over at
• 2:57
  my friend's houses when I was like six seven. You like, eat me
• 3:00
  over there for like three days. This because your opinion the ass and we're
• 3:02
  done rough here that I don't have. On top of it, I don't
• 3:07
  know these parents, and you don't know if they're dealing drugs or if they're
• 3:08
  doing all kind of weird stuff like adult cuddle parties. Like you don't know
• 3:13
  what's happening. I don't want my kid to be there. How about this,
• 3:15
  go meet the parents, take them out the lunch. Make sense.
• 3:20
  I know there's a couple that I'm friends with, but I'm still like,
• 3:22
  no, I don't know what they're doing. The only thing we have to
• 3:24
  fear is fear itself. Note to self, Nick will never run in politics.
• 3:29
  He has ruined that for himself. But what do you think, Yay,
• 3:31
  I'm being an overbearing parent or you're kind of like Nick? Let it
• 3:35
  go nine one nine eight six five to one.
