[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is going to a sleepover really that big of a deal? Who cares? Go, don't go--whatever! The parent is in charge and can have any number of reasons or no reason at all for keeping kids from doing things. I didn't altogether forbid sleepovers with my kids, but I strongly discouraged them and always looked for an excuse to avoid them or pick my kid up early. Why? Because I found that the host parents never enforce any bedtime, [b]and it's a huge pain in the ass for me to deal with a snarling tween all the next day. [/b]Not a major issue, but it's my preference. The suggestion that I am somehow traumatizing my children or depriving them of an essential component of their childhood or setting them up to be hookers in college is patently absurd. Do you people listen to yourselves?[/quote] Having a tween that can't handle a one night alteration in her sleep schedule without becoming a snarling complainer is the real problem. [/quote]
