[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kids are more likely to get shot in a school shooting or get into a car accident driving with you, than something happen to them at a sleepover.

THIS.  All this is, are people with their internet stories and high anxiety that the sky is falling.  And some weird ones claiming one night of less sleep will disrupt their entire lives.   :roll:   My kids have a sleepover, they either go back to bed when they get home, take a nap late Sunday afternoon, or I don't know - go to bed an hour or two earlier.

I always invite kids over on Fridays and we do something active before doing the firepit and movies. It's usually swimming in the summer.  Kids are always passed out by midnight or 1am because of school or camp.  They sleep until 8am.  Totally fine.  Last sleepover, my 9yr old and her 2 friends got up and made the best pancakes and surprised my husband and I.  (yes my daughter cooks without me up her ass in the kitchen)  We slept fine and were served breakfast.  They were so excited and it was really nice.  I guess I am just much more laid back than others.  I love this age.  Still a kid and having fun, but old enough to be independent and enjoy time with their friends.  It isn't all the time, but at least once a month with a group of girls.  And I think nights like this are extremely important for our kid's mental and social well being.[/quote]
