Just picked up my 8 year old DD from a sleepover at her friend from schools house and it turns out she and her friend were up until 4.30 am. The mum came into the room and said it was time to calm down and go to sleep...at 4.30 am!!
I'm really unhappy, in what world is letting 8 year old girls stay awake till that time unaccompanied may I add as the mum was in her bed, okay? 12 am - fair enough, maybe 1 am at a push if excited but 4.30 am is ridiculous and my DD is knackered.
I don't know whether to text the mum. She certainly won't be back there for a sleepover. AIBU?
AIBU?
8 year old up till 4.30 am is unreasonable?

Guess I'm old-fashioned but I wouldn't allow or be happy with this at 8 years old. As for all the wet lettuces saying "you can't stop them".... what? You can threaten to put them in separate rooms, actually put them in separate rooms, threaten to call the visitor's parents to collect her, actually call the visitor's parents to collect her...
