Was there an age when you stopped sleepovers?

You know when they get older and they are up later than you hogging the bathroom and then loll around all morning and decide to make a big fry up at 12 just when you want a couple of crackers for lunch and a seat in your own goddam living room which is full of lolling teenagers?

Well, I banned sleepovers when dd1 was 13.

I am facing up to another tonight for dd2's 12th party and am wondering whether to ban them for everyone after tonight.

Have you put a stop to them?

Ah yes, that typical teenage behaviour, grunting and shouting at each other normally, but when it comes to talking to another's parents, it's like they're suddenly hit with a politeness bug....

...In fact, this reminds me of...a certain sketch show...
