[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Growing up in an Italian American family in the 70s sleepovers were never allowed. It was just never done. I still don’t get them. My kids did them maybe once. I don’t like them. [/quote]

I’m not sure what being Italian has to do with it. I grew up in the same time and has lots of sleepovers. Many were with cousins and so many of us ans the relatives would be in the same house. But more often they were with friends. Everyone was always welcome and they were a joyful part of my childhood. We would stay up and talk and eat all night. My house always had a ton food. We would sleep with sleeping bags in the living room or on the back porch.

Now as a parent, I don’t like them because my kids are so cranky the next day. But I allow it occasionally with certain friends because i remember how much fun we had. [/quote]

Italian-Americans and also Latin American cultures do not generally allow sleepovers. With respect to Italian Americans there are several funny self-deprecating memes about Italian American fathers saying no to a sleep over by saying “isn’t our house good enough?  You don’t like our home.”
