overnights
Be careful. I let my daughter spend the night at a friends house to early in to placement. I thought I knew the family well enough that she would be OK. Nothing serious happened to my daughter, but the two girls got in trouble spilling nail polish, and the mom was quite angry with her daughter, and ended up scaring my daughter. I thought I had prepared the mom about the amount of energy the overnight would take, because her daughter had spent the night with us a couple of times, and I thought I knew her well enough because she worked at my daughter's day care, the girls had gone on playdates and parties together, and we talked (albeit breifly) on almost a daily basis.
