[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those people who are ok with their middle schoolers getting 0 hours of sleep and pretend as if they have no control over their kids at all, are these the same parents that then medicate their hyperactive/inattentive/anxious children with four types of pharmaceuticals during the day? Or are these the same parents who will let kids get drunk and high in the basement and then shrug, because you just can't control those danged kids? The tone on this thread is ludicrous. If you have kids sleeping over at your house it's totally reasonable to turn off the lights at midnight and request quiet. [/quote]

OP here. Ha, ha. Thanks. There have been at least a few people here who think it's reasonable that kids sleep at sleepovers. It still seems to be a minority opinion. You are stating it stronger than I would, but I agree in principle that this is largely about views of parental authority and responsibility. Like I said earlier, to me it's kind of like insisting on seatbelts and falls into a basic safety kind of category, but it's clear that many others don't see it that way at all. Or actually maybe they don't make kids wear seatbelts in their cars either ...[/quote]
