Sleepover Necessities

Anonymous
What do you send for your kids when they do sleepovers at another persons home? Anything they need other than pajamas and a toothbrush?

Change of clothes. Extra socks.

Pillow, sleeping bag. Maybe the hosts provide those though if there's only one person coming.

I would have them NOT go on a sleepover! Don't make another parent deal with your kid's piss - are you nuts?

Wear a pull up for sure, and give the parents a heads up. Sleeping bags are hard to wash!

This is super common and will only be embarrassing if kid wakes up wet without pull up.

Your child isn't ready for sleepovers, which is fine. I didn't even know what you meant by "isn't 100%" until other posters clued me in.

It’s perfectly normal. Happens with lots of kids. No reason not to let them have fun. My brother wasn’t consistently dry until he was almost 11 and he had sleepovers with friends all the time.

If your kid came for a sleepover and peed in bed I wouldn't have them for a sleepover again.

Everyone of my son’s sleepovers has had kids wearing pull ups or a liner pad. He just turned 11. It is not unusual for kids to have accidents through the night. The parents let us know in advance, the kids wear their sleep underwear, we make sure they have a place to dispose of it, all is well. I’d rather they wear something and have fun staying over then not come or not wear something and then deal with a different kids accident.

The last DS held, a few months ago, was the first one were none of the kids were wearing a pull up of some sort.

Most kids I’ve seen aren’t even shy about it. They have no problems with other kids knowing they use them. I think some might actually prefer to have them because it means they don’t have to worry about getting up middle of the night. Honestly I don’t blame them.

This sounds like complete insanity to me - I don't know of any kid above age five wearing a diaper to sleep!

Keep your kid at home and let them have a sleep over in your room. I would not accept a child of any age that walks in with a darn pull up on. I don’t want them leaking on my mattress and I don’t want the piss smell in the room. You would be getting a phone call to come get your kid.
