Sleepovers during Thanksgiving vacation week?

We are relaxed about this.

Kids had weird Covid years. They deserve some extra fun now.

I hate sleepovers. I wish I had taken the hardline of no sleepovers ever. I ended them in high school because of antics and kids having irresponsible parentd

Who is "we?"

And what's wrong with sleepovers in high school?

OP, I think it's fine for one night.

And two sleepovers in a row?? Wow you failed parenting class.

Wow you seem WAY uptight. These kids are in HS...

It wouldn’t occur to me to even say no.

I'm curious why parents aren't ok with sleepovers in high school and middle school. Liability over what?

Pretty much all of my best memories from high school involve sleeping over and being at my friends houses overnight

No to two nights in a row
Yes if we know the parents / family
Yes if the kids are good guests

Probably what the kids are doing. If they sneak drugs, alcohol, out driving, etc.

No to high school sleepovers

Unless I had other guests I wouldnt say no. Whats the big deal? They are in high school and entertain themselves.

I usually say yes unless I have a good reason to say no. My first response is usually no but as a parent I dont want my kid always associating me with no and negativity.

Your kid is just getting into sleepovers in high school? Peak sleepover time is the last few years of elementary.

You forgot sex. Not just at the sleepover but when they sneak out or sneak others in. Sneaking out and driving or meeting up with others driving was our biggie.

I’ve posted this before but in HS, I went on “sleepovers” because it was the house we crashed at. It was the parents that were never home or the ones that were oblivious and had no rules so we could come and go. The party house.
