[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of you saying you don’t have space, house is messy, siblings, dogs, whatever, are making excuses. If you wanted to host a sleepover you could. Or host an evening gathering and have the kids go home. I have an only DD (11) and host single kids now and again but rarely. I do however take kids with us a lot on outings. Just took a friend tothe beach with us for 3 nights, and a different friend to the pool all afternoon yesterday. Own your decisions and be honest, but make some effort to reciprocate. [/quote]

I do other things (drive around picking up five kids and taking them all bowling on a rainy afternoon, for example). But I don't host sleepovers. OP's post was specific to hosting sleepovers and having those sleepovers reciprocated. [/quote]

+1 I reciprocate in other ways when possible, but with work and kids in activities 7 days/ week, we're exhausted. We only have limited time on weekends to recharge. When we've tried hosting sleepovers, kids don't listen and are up until all hours of the night making tons of noise and we end up getting no sleep. At this time in our lives, sleepovers are not on the menu.[/quote]
