To think it won't work if I'm not there??

[whoknowswhattodo1]

DDs first sleepover invite. 3 kids going. Initially mum invited me too we can have dinner then if DD not sure I can take her home.
DD agreed this week that actually she really wanted to go but wasn't sure about staying... so was delighted with arrangement.
The mum from sleepover now saying she's not feeling great so wants to miss out grown ups bit and just have the kids over... not sure what to?!?
She's picking them all up from school they live nearly an hour from us. DD hasn't even taken night things assuming I'll bring or take her home.... eurgh!

How old is DD?

How old is she? Could you go to school at pick up time with a bag of stuff and ask her if she wants to go, now that you're not?

6yrs I'm going to go to school

Turns out she's hungover and her son not in school today but it's all supposed to be happeneing anyway?!?

In all likelihood; she'll have a great time. If she doesn't, other mum will call. Don't stress too much.

What happened?

I wouldn't feel comfortable sending a six year old to first sleepover with a hungover parent and an ill sibling, assuming that is why brother wasn't at school

I agree with the last poster. The last thing I'd want to do with a hangover is to look after someone else's children. Maybe she should give it a miss tonight (realise you've probably made a decision by now!)

I went along anyway and just said don't worry. We ended up having a good natter actually and a glass of wine but DD didn't want to stay! Oh well. Glad I went thing she was hungry and tired.

I think 6 is too little for non-family sleepovers but not everyone will agree. As she's changed the arrangement I'd pick dc up after a couple of hours play date time.

Sorry just saw your update. Nice one!

Yes I think I agree if you don't push it they're chomping at the bit by 8yrs.
