OT - question for parents re: sleepovers ...

I know this is not what we are here for but I have a question that I'd like to ask a general group and so I'm posting it here ...

how do you handle it when your kid wants a sleep over at someone's house that you aren't comfortable with? My son is 10 and there is one house in the neighbourhood that I'm just not ok with him spending the night at. I do allow him to play there during the day, mostly b/c the neighbourhood boys tend to travel in a group and sometimes they just end up there and I don't want my son to feel left out - also, it's usually the mom around in the day.

which brings me to my biggest concern: the dad, he has sworn at the boys, yelled at them and I think that he may have a bit of an alcohol problem. I'm not trying to judge him, I'm just not comfortable with my kid spending the night there.

Basically I'm just looking for suggestions on how to explain that to my son in a way that isn't going to worry him. What would you say to your son/child?
