What would you think of your dd age 11 went on a sleepover, and three kids were all in the birthday child’s room and your child slept on the landing alone ?

Op was also asked in one of the first replies whether her dd volunteered to go on the landing and has been asked since and not replied so I’m assuming she did.

puddlesplashing · 10/12/2018 17:23

LETS make it simple @LardLizard WAS THE DOOR OPEN OR CLOSED?? Pure fool of a woman. Can only guess open by her lack of response.

puddlesplashing · 10/12/2018 17:24

@Lovemusic33 agree totally. She would be quick to tell us if it was closed. Total non issue.

sherrysfortea · 10/12/2018 17:26

I don't think OP is coming back now which is a shame. Especially as @arethereanyleftatall went to the trouble of producing a wonderful diagram Xmas SadXmas Sad

Surely the host parent new advance there would be 4 kids and planned room, moved furniture, etc. You should have been told in advance of the sleeping arrangements. In any case, totally unacceptable

acegod · 10/12/2018 17:30

Your dd was bulled there is no other reason to leave a child out. But you won't do anything because if your child couldn't do anything and she's has your blood line then you won't do anything. It runs in the family. Scientist say DNA is usually the same. Then the family will all be the same. Forget and wait for the next bullying event.

manicmij · 10/12/2018 17:35

Just not on. Who leaves one child on her own on a sleepover. Either have room for all in the same room or cut the numbers. Birthday girl's Mum should have known better, how would she feel it that happened to her daughter at a sleepover. Would suggest your daughter finds other more considerate friends.

WereYouHareWhenIWasFox · 10/12/2018 17:39

Of course the door was open if the host child was told to sleep with their head near the OP’s daughter on the landing.

Treble · 10/12/2018 17:43

Even if door was open and guest volunteered, the host’s child should have slept on landing to make it fair. Totally unacceptable, quite painful to see your child treated this way.

puddlesplashing · 10/12/2018 17:52

The OP is fucking annoying.

puddlesplashing · 10/12/2018 17:53

@sherrysfortea I thought that diagram was brilliant. That alone deserves a reply from OP Grin

MummyStudentNurse · 10/12/2018 17:54

Why did the parents invite the children knowing they couldn’t all sleep in the room!! I would want to know whyy child was in the hall

Workreturner · 10/12/2018 18:00

I would lay bets that sleepovers are where my dcs have their memories from.

As an adult, can you honestly say that sleepover are where you have your “memories from”?

I went on loads as a child. Fun but hardly memorable. I don’t think I’d be a lesser person in any respect had I not been on sleepovers!

ToftyAC · 10/12/2018 18:06

My piss would be boiling, and it currently boils on behalf of your DD. They should have had all of them in the lounge or something. Shit friends, shit party. Your poor Dd :(

Sb74 · 10/12/2018 18:16

I’d go mad!! It might not be deliberate bullying but it’s an act of stupidity at the very least!! I wouldn’t let my dd sleep over again and I would explain why if and when asked again.

Dillydallyalltheway · 10/12/2018 18:24

I could be very wrong here but it sounds like it was the birthday girl being nasty, I can understand the mum staying in her room to give the girls time on there own . I also would have thought that takeaway pizza would be a real treat for them unless the you have it regularly at home, then it’s not such a treat. Also I imagine that they had no particular activities because that’s what they wanted. To be fair on the mum she arranged it so her daughters head was next to your daughters. In my honest opinion, it does sound like the birthday girl didn’t want her there and possibly said your daughter could come but couldn’t sleep with them in the bedroom. Your daughter wasn’t treated very nicely by these girls , however, she did say that the other girls were nice. I think she only said it was boring because she was left out and she wanted to make it sound that she wasn’t having bothered about being included

jessycake · 10/12/2018 18:27

Why didn't she let them all stay downstairs , Surely the point of a sleepover is that they all stay together watching a film or more likely giggling ,chatting, eating , laughing etc until the early hours lol. I would never expect a child to sleep on the landing how awful for her .

OliviaStabler · 10/12/2018 18:42

IMO you should have stopped your dd going knowing that the birthday girl said her Mum said that she 'had to' invite her. It was never going to be fun after that was said. There was room for her in the front room, they just went to the bedroom and forced her out as they didn't want her there.

Very sad.

Yorkshiretolondon · 10/12/2018 19:00

Nasty -parents and children

LMAO!

Yes, that's what scientists say. DNA is usually the same.

bobdylannumber1 · 10/12/2018 19:22

I don't allow sleepovers ever my eldest is 25 he only ever had 1 my d's 11 and dd8 wint b having any I really don't see the point of them I wouldn't want my child staying I someone's house or b responsible for another child

lily2403 · 10/12/2018 19:29

How awful...no room my ass kids that age top and tail in the bed, I would be enraged by the blatant bullying. The mother should be ashamed of herself

Numberonecook · 10/12/2018 19:41

I’d be furious. Also if I was bday girls mum I wouldn’t be happy for one child to be sleeping on the landing alone, if no room I’d be asking for a volunteer to join her or at least have the door open so everyone could see each other. Sounds awful, your poor dd

puddlesplashing · 10/12/2018 19:49

Lardass still hasn't answered if the door was open or closed
