To keep my three nephews up all night?

[Upfiner]

I am having my three nephews over for a sleepover. They’re six, just turned two and five months. The eldest has slept over a few times but not the younger two.

Instead of wrestling them into bed I am planning to let them stay up as late as they like. I’ve always done this with the eldest and he loves it and usually falls asleep at about 10:30pm. I’ll obvious have the baby in his crib but I’ve got a huge corner sofa so I’m going to bring the duvets down and we can just have a slumber party downstairs.

I told my friend who has two sons and she thinks that this will impact their whole week and their schooling and routine and probably exam results and future careers.

I’m not going mad am I? This is fine for one fun evening?

It never took anything for the eldest to recover

how often do you have them when you say you have them often?

What’s odd is parents that regularly hand over their new born baby plus toddler plus 6 year old overnight to you.

a newborn!

He's autistic. HTH.

I thought people would grasp obvious sarcasm.

Spiral! 😂 Be serious now.

So to be clear ALL your friend said was it might mess up with routine?

Unfortunately some DC can't cope with switching back and forth from weekday school days to weekends.

Having someone having your 3 very young children including your new born overnight “often” is…. Unusual.

Can’t say being regularly separated overnight “often” from my new born baby is something that massively appealed to me but each to their own

Don’t be daft.

So go on then

how often is “often”?

Why?

I said in the OP that the two year old and baby have never slept over. Do you struggle to understand that?

You don’t think it’s relevant?

what is often? Could be once a week or once a month?

how old was the 4 month old when you had her overnight for the first time? Does she co sleep with her parents or Moses / cot?

You need to calm down a bit and read slowly.

Why are you saying she?

He is a boy. Reread the OP, slowly.

You said you had “them” often

So how “often” do you have them overnight l? Seems a relevant question 🤷‍♀️

Ok he

he / she / they

better?

The answer to this is in the OP. You are overexcited.

I know others have focused on the toddler but it is the 4 month old I’m curious about.

does she co sleep or Moses basket?
how old when you first had her overnight

No. He is a boy. He. Read the thread.

Are you stupid? What does it say in the OP?

He.

So you have had all three often during the day.

first time overnight

please report back!! (Of course it will be nothing but a Disney success!!)

sorry op - got to serve up a roast

Enjoy the company of the kids if nothing else

Wahey! You have grasped the first paragraph of the first post. Good start.

Well that would be her choice.
But without meeting either the child or the sister (who the OP has met), you’ve decided that the child doesn’t cope with the late nights and that the OP’s sister would probably lie to her about whether he coped with them or not.

The parents of ops nephews will soon find out which way their dc's go with this. Op has made it clear her sister is just happy to be having a child free night and hasn't imposed any 'rules '.
