This is one of the worst ideas regarding sleepovers that I've ever heard. Why would you want to embarrass the kids?

Even little kids are like man can you just give me the pancakes please.
+1 how annoying!!!

Consider getting some friends of your own, OP.

OP, is this something you experienced yourself as a child or did you come up with it on your own? Never heard of this and genuinely curious.

NP middle schooler?! Most kids doing sleepovers are like 5, 6, 7…
My teen girls love having sleepovers. I rarely have a weekend night with just my own kids sleeping here.

Do you want your DS to become a friendless loser? Do not do this. GFC, I can't believe you actually need to be told this.

I've never heard of parents doing this, and I grew up in the sleepover heyday of the 80s. Just leave the kids alone.

Nope. It'll either humiliate him or create a prank war that will get out of control. And DS and I are are totally playful back and forth but I would never cross the line and get other kids involved.

I have never seen such unified agreement on DCUM about any topic ever. Impressive!

We had a great adult sized gorilla costume. So if you can mail the gait it’s a super way to scare the kiddos from outside the window or inside.

Yesssssss
