[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serously. Somebody explain to me why you don't like your kids to go to sleepovers. Is there something about them that I am not getting? [/quote] My DD could not fall asleep at sleepovers -- at her last sleepover (years ago when she was about 9) I had to go pick her up at 1 am. We even tried sleepovers at our house and she'd leave her sleeping friends and go sleep in her own bed. As the kids get older they are up most of the night and then they're impossible the next day (tired, crabby, miserable to siblings, unmotivated to do sports or homework, whatever). Then as they get into middle school and beyond, that's when they sneak out of your basement, ring neighbors' door bells and run (at midnight). Ha ha. Then older still is when more experimenting is involved. Now that I have older and younger children, I think I may try to skip the whole sleepover evolution for the younger ones. But my DD never had a problem leaving a sleepover party at 9 or 10. There's no embarrassment involved. [/quote]
