[quote=Anonymous][quote] I generally don't allow them, but not for the reasons others listed. We pay a ton of money for DS to do two travel sports, which usually have weekend games. He can't be tired for them and we expect him to play his best. Sleepovers are not conducive to that. Also, I really don't want to host them. I have a very demanding job and long commute, and I don't want to lose a night of sleep. We allow and arrange for plenty of play dates so that DS gets to see friends. [/quote] Roll your eyes all you want. DS asked to play these expensive sports, we didn't force him. Rec would have been fine, but once we've sunk in the money into this at his request, he has to take it seriously. That's our rule, which we explained to him at the outset when he asked to do these travel teams. I also feel no compulsion to be a martyr and have kids screaming and going from room to room at midnight. If you want to do that, go for it. I don't think its necessary for me to.[/quote]
