[quote=Anonymous]Sleepovers start really early in my DDs elementary school -- at kindergarten it starts happening.

My oldest hated the idea of sleeping away from home, so I didn't "allow" it to give her an easy excuse.  I expect that once she hits MS/HS she'll want to do it.  She's in 5th grade now and just now starting to waver when she's invited to a sleepover.

DD #2 is sensitive (wakes me up at night if she can't find her stuffy) and highly dependent on getting good sleep.  She has expressed interest in doing sleepovers and been invited to some, but I haven't allowed it.

DD #3 still occasionally wets the bed at night, and that's with our routine of reducing liquids and going to the bathroom right before sleep.  She very much wants to do a sleepover with her best friend, but I've been putting it off because I know it's a recipe for bed wetting.

Basically I don't like sleepovers in the ES years.

FWIW, I hated sleepovers when I was in ES (loved them in MS and HS), so I recognize that my childhood feelings are driving my parenting decisions now.  [/quote]
