[quote=Anonymous]Is anyone else finding an excessive amount of sleepovers with their elem school kids ?

My son is 11 and everything is a sleepover now. I guess I should be grateful he has friends and is getting invites but every/every other weekend it's, "Can [DS] sleep over?"  Whatever happened to just a good old fashioned 4-5 hour playdate?

Then it turns into over 24 hours at someone's house... I'd like to see my kid as well too on weekends/school days off!

I hate to sound all "When I was a kid..." BUT when I was a kid I feel like sleepovers were special occasions. Birthday parties, etc. Now every weekend, there's a sleepover.

Also they go to bed so late - one time they went to bed at 4:30am! Wtf? And then of course DS is so cranky and can't function the next day.

I know what you're going to say - "Then don't let him sleepover." But of course then the guilt comes that I'm not letting him have any fun.

Does anyone else experience this or am I being unreasonable and need to let it go and relax? :)[/quote]
