[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 10 y/old.  She's had several one-on-one sleepover and been to one official slumber party.  She went to another but I picked her up at 9:00 because of early morning plans the following day.

My friend that hosted one limited it to 6 girls and divided them into pairs to sleep in 3 separate rooms. [b] This kept it sane and allowed the girls to actually sleep.  Parents who aren't fans of these parties don't like dealing with the cranks the next da[/b]y.[/quote]

This would be me and my husband.  Sleepovers are killers if there is church, temple, homework or chores the next day.  There were so many sleepovers in my daughter's school, and she was such a mess on Sunday that she couldn't get her homework done and her sleep cycle would also be off. so Monday would be pulling teeth to get her out of bed.  We finally just had to set a rule:  sleepovers only on Friday night.  And we would ask the host parent to try to get them to bed by a time certain and we would pick up the next morning at 10:00.  Never worked.  Kids would still all be asleep at ll:00 a.m., which meant we were outside with the car running to head for church or wedding so the day's plans would be spoiled.  Fortunately we've grown past that age.  Now sleepovers, if they happen, are just one-on-one and we know all the parents and they are in agreement about keeping the kids on schedule so the weekend isn't ruined. [/quote]
