[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Four girls. One sleepover a week. They each rotate. One sleepover per month at your house. [/quote]
That’s easy for me to say but the parents have to be on board too and apparently they aren’t.[/quote]

Point out that she is 1/4 of the group and you are hosting 1/4 of the time. You are doing your part.  She can be mad at the parents who aren’t found their part, but don’t complain about it in public.

She will push back because you have hosted more in the past. Tell her that you’re starting to burn out on sleepovers, and you’re trying to hold on until the end of summer. If she continues to complain and stress you out, you’ll be too stressed out to host even once a month. Then stick to it. If she chooses to complain about your inability to host more than your share, you will be too stressed to host the next time you agreed to. Postpone it until the next free weekend.

The most important thing is to stick to whatever consequence you lay out. She’s supposed to push boundaries and it’s your job to hold the line. She’ll be very unhappy the first time you have to cancel. Stay calm. She’ll learn to respect your boundaries if you enforce them.
