[quote=Anonymous]I'd be very blunt with the kid, in front of whatever parents are around if possible. Tell the kids straight up that child 5 HAS to follow routine, is expected to do xyz at ABC time, just like everyone else. All kids are expected to be ASLEEP by X time. You'll give exactly one warning, if you have to warn a second time the sleepover is finished and child 5 goes back to their parent. Be the adult here. Lay out expectations. If the parents aren't around to hear you say that, text them. Say you told the kids they are expected to stay on routine and if they can't manage it with a sleepover, you told them you'd end it. Then follow through so they know you're serious. [/quote]
