Okay, my mom won't let me do anything. She won't let me go out with friends or their houses and she won't let me go to sleepovers! I have never been to a sleepover in my life, and my mom says it's a good thing because going to someone's house is a "stupid" idea. I've only been to three of my friend's houses, my neighbor's, my friend who I only went to her house because my parents are best friends with her parents, and my other friend from school because it was for the talent show and my mom knew her. Well, I'm in the eigth grade and she still won't let me. I don't know why. I get all A's and I've never have never gotten in trouble at school. Whenever I ask her I come to her in an adult manner, and I ask her nicely and explain who's house I'm going to, help her remember that person from when I told her about her, I tell her about her parents and what they do, the date, what we will do and I also tell her one to four weeks in advance, usually two weeks.

She also says she doesn't know the parents, but the parents always try to call her and meet her at school functions and she acts uninterested. My sister, who's four years younger, has been going to sleepovers since she was in first grade. I still haven't went to one. My sister doesn't make better grades than me, A's and C's, but she too has never gotten in trouble at school.
Also, whenever we talk about my mom's childhood she always talks about the joys of going to people's houses and sleepovers.
I don't understand, I asked her and she said they're not that "fun" and that they're "pointless." But, I want to see for myself. I don't understand why she does this.
