[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am debating allowing my DD attend a sleepover. My biggest issue is she’s a terrible sleeper in some scenarios. The  couple times she has been away from home without a parent have been mixed. Once she will be woke up for hours during the night.

Have you had a kid struggle to sleep during a sleepover? If so did it annoy you/your child? It seems theses are becoming a big thing at her age so part of me wants to let her try it, because I don’t want to hold her back unnecessarily but I would feel terrible if she ended up wanting to be picked up at 3AM or something because she couldn’t sleep.[/quote]

No sleepovers period.

I don't understand why parents do these.

I would let my kid take the metro downtown DC alone before doing a sleepovers.

Not necessary.
It's a stupid thing[/quote]

They were a huge part of my childhood and teen social life. I wouldn’t (and didn’t) deprive my kids of it. [/quote]

Same, but I dont allow them.  Times have changed [/quote]

Aw, that's too bad. We've taken DCs' friends on vacations and they regularly stay at our beach house. I feel like it's too easy for them to isolate and rely on screens for entertainment, so I want to encourage them to spend time actual interacting with live friends.[/quote]

Agreed. Everyone banning sleepovers for “safety” then their kids sit at home and sext random guys on Snapchat instead. [/quote]

And now they all have phones and get to do this in a group at a sleepover. How fun [/quote]

This.  My SIXTH GRADER just went to a sleepover and was the only one who didn't bring a device (she doesn't have a phone) and tells me this after the fact and says they were snapchatting boys at their middle school because some girl in the group has idiot parents who let her have snapchat.

But bonus points for relying on screens for entertainment as a group?

Just be thankful they weren’t watching porn or experimenting with each other.[/quote]
