I would allow this given the travel softball |

What about this don’t you understand? She is on a travel softball team. 12U is a big year for this in this area. Hundreds of girls are on teams. Maybe a couple of thousand… |

That sounds like a good compromise and what I would end up doing. I’d offer to pick up at 10 or 11. My daughter can’t do much the next day and is so cranky. She doesn’t have a lot of responsibilities at 12, but after several nights of sleepovers she’d be having a diva meltdown at all of us. |

We're not a sleepover family so take this with a boulder of salt. But, I'd feel like 3 in a row was pushing my luck when it comes to catching a virus that messes up the next week for everyone in our household. |

| It depends on the kid. I would let one of mine but not the other. The one I would deals with a very busy sports schedule so it's a treat for sleepover opportunities. She manages herself very well and the friends and their families are great. She goes to sleep later but she still sleeps. My other kid is nuts so no! |

| Absolutely not. Both my kids are bears after sleepovers. Two nights in a row would be pushing it, I can't imagine 3. |

No school for many school districts. It’s Yom Kippur. |

| It's indulgent. I guess as one bad parenting decision, a yes won't be a long-lasting problem. But the optimal parenting decision is to say no, definitely to 3 and probably to 2. |

| No way I allow 2 sleepovers in one weekend, let alone 3. |

Three sleepovers in a row?
I’ll bet they’re sneaking out of the friends house. |

| Times are different now (for better or worse) with kids involved in so many activities. But in MS and early HS my friends and I lived at each others houses. My two friends had big bedrooms and we just holed up in there chatting/listening to music or in their finished basement watching movies. The parents never knew who was coming or going, they didn’t care. In the summer we would have sleepover records or longest consecutive sleepover, we got to 23 nights. We slept until 10-11am. They were fond memories. My daughter and her friends will definitely have too much going on to have a life like this. |

+1. Too disruptive of the sleep schedule, not enough time to decompress. |
