Slumber Party for 10-year-old boys

[Anonymous]

My son wants a slumber party for his 10th birthday. Any tips? We are thinking 4-5 guests, video games, a movie, pizza and ice cream and flashlight tag. Is that enough to keep them occupied?

Yes.

Please don't say "slumber party."

Sleepover. And they'll likely just want to play video games. Don't try and overplan or force a bunch of games.

Collect iPhones at the door

For the same reason that boys play with action figures instead of dolls.

Sounds great. Be prepared that they may not sleep. You may want to have some snacks for them as well.

Waffles and eggs are good for breakfast.

Have fun and hope you get some sleep

Because it conjures up images of little girls in nightgowns having pillow fights and painting nails.

Hahaha! Go ahead and tell your almost middle school son's friends that you are having them over for a slumber party. Yes. Great idea.

Do not leave them in a room with a tv unsupervised. My son went to one and came back telling us that he watched "The Hangover". OMG, my ten year old (who I am very sad to report said the movie was hilarious). I am sure the parents were mortified but you cannot trust 6 boys together with access to inappropriate things even if you can trust each one individually.

LOL.
I agree that collecting phones at the door is a great idea.
And it is a sleepover, not slumber party.

Maybe sad was wrong choice. I cannot believe he understood it enough to think it was hilarious. I thought he would be grossed out seeing naked girls. How stupid am I?? But anyway, I think it is hilarious too!!
