[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a bunch of fun-suckers you all are! Do you not remember the fun of hanging out with friends until the wee hours and then sleeping until 10-11 on a weekend morning?

My kids both do sleep overs and we host sleepovers.  There are kids here nearly every weekend (teens) and/or one or both of them are at a friends house.

Let the kids have a break from you, and you a break from them, and see how other families operate. They might realize things are better at home.[/quote]

We are one of the yes live sleepover PPs-and you reminded me of another great thing about the bond these sleepovers offer: when my kids are now home from college THEIR friends (home from college too) ask when they can come to our house for pancakes as they have such fond memories of waking up to my DHs ‘choose your own fillings.’ We’re talking just Aunt Jemima mix but they all remember the fun of being kids and being welcomed into our home. I think that the nostalgia colors the memory of how good his cooking is but we love that our kids and their friends keep that connection going. (PS we were always/still are the grumpy rules family so its not like our house was a free for all, anything goes place.)[/quote]
