Sleepovers - How often?

[slipperandpjsmum]

Every weekend my dd is asking for a friend to sleepover. I suppose I have caused this issue myself as her older brother has a couple of friends to stay each weekend. However, I know them really well and their parents and they have been on hol with us etc. Whereas I do not know my dd friend's or parents really.

How often do other people allow sleepovers? Do you set any restrictions?

My DD14 is an only child so sleepovers are very frequent. I dont mind so long as she has behaved during the week/ done homework etc. She sleeps over at her friends but I seem to do most of the hosting.

As few as possible. I loathe them.

As few as i can get away with because my DD really needs her sleep.

In reality it's once every couple of months on average and not normally on school night (made an exception once).

Only during school holidays or long weekends. DD also needs her sleep. Saturdays are chock full of hobbies, and Sunday is a wind-down day.

Once in a blue moon and that's too many. I loathe sleepovers. They're stressful and cause chaos the next day when I have a grumpy 11 year old who won't do anything except whinge.
