[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] I enforce dark and quiet. I know I can't make the kids sleep. But if it's dark and quiet, at least the kids who want to fall asleep can get some rest. It's not that hard. [/quote] OP, you presume that your daughter would be one of those kids who want to fall asleep, but she might not be. Also, I host a ton of sleepovers and anyone who wants to sleep finds a way even if it's not dark and quiet. [/quote] A) It's not a presumption, I've talked to her about this. B) Some people may be able to sleep anywhere, but my DD can't. Also to others who say just plan it so she can rest the next day, yes sometimes that happens, but it's a huge sacrifice of a day, and she still sometimes gets sick anyhow. A nap is not the same as a night's sleep (for her anyhow). My takeaway is I need to accept that I'll just be saying no more often and that I need to host more/find kindred spirit parents.[/quote]
