3 sleepovers in a row?

[Anonymous]

Why can’t they just hang out? Why do they have to sleep over?

I’m not a fan of sleepovers so I would say no. I host kids all the time. Birthday sleepover or occasional sleepover is fine.

Is she romantically involved with any of the girls?

I wouldn’t have even allowed two in a row.

No, she’s not. I appreciate everyone’s opinions. I’m sticking with the no but will allow her to hang out tonight for a few hours this evening.

Agree with this. It sounds like she has a busy schedule with sports and this weekend is her only opportunity for multiple sleepovers. So long as she isn't a grumpy mess today I'd let her tonight with no school tomorrow.

You parents are so f’ing uptight, over involved, and boring. Let her have the sleepover.

Because it is FUN!

Do you not remember being a middle schooler?

I likely would, too.

We hosted a group Friday night, another friend had one Saturday and now DD, 12, is asking to sleepover at another friends house tonight. DH an and I both said no. She needs good sleep even though there is no school tomorrow and of course now she is very upset because her travel softball prevents her from weekend sleepovers as she has early play both Saturday and Sunday most weekends and we don’t allow sleepovers the night before.

She is a great kid who does work around house and makes good grades but the social life is taking center stage right now. I guess I am just looking for feedback that most parents would say no to this right?!

Girls travel softball?

Would the sleepover tonight be one where you could trust that they'd actually get good sleep? If so, given her schedule restrictions, I would say yes. My daughter has some friends with whom we could trust that they'd have fun but still be to bed at a reasonable time and others where that's not the case.

Depends on the kid and the type of sleepovers. My eldest has one friend I almost always say yes to because when they do sleepovers, they really sleep and they live far enough away that it's a pain to do a late pickup. They will conk out on the couch watching a movie at 10 and my kid sneaks upstairs to her bed and they each wake up around 7 or 8 and read quietly until everyone else is up. Other friends who stay up all hours, no way twice in a row and definitely not three.

No, my daughter is pretty easy to talk out of this sort of thing because she will have a meltdown if she doesn't have any down time. Thankfully she knows this about herself. I'd just point out how she always feels when she doesn't get any down/alone time and then suggest we have a sleepover with this person the next available weekend.

No

So many reasons
