I'll try to keep this short. Dd11 invited friend yesterday for sleepover friend arrived at 4 they went upstairs plenty of giggling etc. Came down for tea then back upstairs playing, painted nails settled down watched a film. This morning walked to the shops then spent an hr in garden. I asked if wanted lunch said yes i started to get it ready, friend came in could she go home i said yes give me 10mins as needed to get younger ones ready 3&7 friend rolled her eyes went upstairs to pack her bag. We walked her home well she stormed off in front obviously in a mood 😳. I asked dd what was wrong with her she said well she got abit bored. Im sat here feeling terrible for my dd as she really tried to keep her friend happy and wondering what else i could have done. Any ideas?

A sleepover to me is just overnight. You don’t have the child stay the next day. They go home first thing in the morning after breakfast.

My daughter (10)has had a couple of sleepovers I usually make whatever they've asked for dinner do crafting before and movie after bed at about 10\10.30 then next day we usually go shopping (I give them £5/10 each) in town then for lunch and they play in the garden /park (we have a huge lovely park we can see from our house) until between 3-5 home time ... I have made pizzas from dough or mocktails before now they loved that and I usually get face masks and things for them once when it was Hit we got the sprinkler out but they were a bit younger ... I find they need entertainment at this age x
