Anxiety or instinct

I don’t allow sleep overs with anyone but my dad because he is the only parent I have and that’s one night a month, my child will never stay anywhere else other than with me and my dad occasionally until he’s 16-18 that’s how I grew up
Even if it is innocent your gut is saying otherwise. Keep your boundaries and what you feel safe with.
Definitely instinct! Very odd thing for him to ask for her to have sleep overs imo. You don't have kids same age so just seems weird to me. Also the kissing on the lips is a REDFLAG. Always listen to your gut because even if you're wrong it does no harm in this case.
IMO it’s not normal to ask about sleepovers unless that’s been discussed as a possibility before. Maybe that’s normal for some people but growing up I don’t think any family ever asked me to sleep over at their place. It only happened at my aunt’s maybe once so my parents could have a break
The fact he keeps asking repeatedly is suspicious. Like, what plans have you got sir? Why are you so excited to get my child without me there? As everyone else has said, follow your instincts. Protect your child.
Trust your instincts. It is odd how he keeps asking for kisses on the lips. My kids grandparents ask for a kiss and cuddle when we leave their house which my son can give if he wants to but I would never force him but to ask for a kiss on the lips is weird in my opinion
OK, so for me it depends. How was he asking? How was he asking for kisses? Are you close? I would ask a toddler I was close to for a kiss and pucker my lips, but it's not me saying I want to kiss their lips, and it isn't weird. My whole family does it with my son, and so does my MIL. I'd also ask someone I was close to when I was having a sleepover with Bubba. I have, actually, and I've had the sleepover. I was essentially a night nanny for them for 6 months or so. 1 or 2 nights a week. They also stayed at my house once but took a spare room upstairs, and I camped in the lounge room with their infant son. Like this could be weird but isn't necessarily. People like to automatically jump to man = he is a red flag. It's just not always the case. Keep an eye, but don't jump to conclusions or labels.
I would have the same feelings. That's inappropriate to ask and do.
Okay but my gut feeling is telling me not to trust this family member . And it’s NOT worth risking to put your child through a potential risk of SA . And if he’s laughing at you for telling him to stop asking for a kiss on the lips with YOUR CHILD is weird AF. I would’ve deadass looked him dead in the eye and never invite him over and never let my daughter near him I would literally go crazy for the fact that he’s being weird and creepy and not taking me seriously . So no girl you are not over reacting . So please protect your little girl bc it isn’t worth it. Trust..
Wtf that’s so weird
My daughter is not staying at any uncle’s house and no uncle is staying at my house!
I do totally get that. I won't allow sleepovers ever for that reason. Trust your gut mama. If that male family member doesn't feels right for you, then it doesn't.
