At about age 10 girls want to have a sleepover every night if they can. I don’t really mind the unplanned sleepover once everyone is old enough to take care of themselves–eating, getting to bed or not etc. At some point though, you just want to have your house to yourself so occasionally we turn these down—that usually results in them going to the other person’s house though–which is even better.

For me, I hate the awkwardness that the abrupt invitation can cause sometimes. When it’s brought up to the two moms at the same time, and neither knows the other’s plans – or maybe doesn’t even know eachother that well…awkwardness. That’s all.

I guess since my son is only 9 months old I’m not to the stage yet but I never understood why this was such a big deal. My husband & I were talking and our parents never let us do this & I still don’t get why parents don’t like unplanned sleepovers. Can someone clue me in?
