Maybe that's just where you live. My stepson is in 6th grade and he and his friends are always having sleepovers.

This. Get him heavy into sports and it solves the problem.

What does puberty have to do with it? My high schooler still loves a sleepover.


lol, I’m sure he does


So you believe that sleepovers between teenagers are inherently sexual? I’m sorry for whoever hurt you and that a normal, joyful sleepover experience was ruined for you.


Yeah 18 year old boys are known for their old-fashioned pillow fights at 10 and fruit smoothies at 11!


It’s weird that you haven’t heard of teenagers enjoying movies or video games.


It’s weirder that you think the movies they’re watching are PG.

Did she say she thought they were PG? Is that what all you no sleepovers after puberty are afraid of? Movies that are not PG?

This perspective is a bit odd.

Or maybe they just don’t talk about it at school to avoid awkward conversation and hurt feelings for those not invited?..

+1. When I was a kid we did sleepovers all the time, but my kids never do them (age 10 and 12).

As a teen I would’ve killed to have a mom as gullible as you. As a parent I’m glad she was smarter.

My child was at the prime age for sleepovers when we were in the pandemic so she missed the window. She’s done a few but has mostly done weekend trips with friends, overnight camp and is getting ready to go on weeklong school trip. I don’t think she missed out at all.

Your sleepovers would have been orgies had your mom not shut them down? Wow. I guess we just grew up differently. I had a ton of sleepovers and zero sexual contact. It wasn’t even on the table. Maybe if I’d been gay or bi and my friends had been? Not judging just saying that maybe you or your friends had a different orientation that could lead to attraction.

When I was a kid I practically lived at my friends house on the weekends. For a really long time… like middle school and early high school. Practically had my own room.

Both of my children have a lot of friends, but neither of them has ever had or been invited to a sleepover and we like it that way.

Let me guess, you had sex at age 14. Your slutty normal is not a real person's normal.

LOL. One day your kid is watching Disney movies the next he’s having orgies! Who the hell is talking about gay sex you loon. Most sleepovers amongst teenage boys will involve soft or hard porn. Which is what most parents want to guard against. But my my, you are quite the sexual deviant judging by how your mind works!
