Have had a bit of a disasterous (from my perspective) sleepover this weekend for DS1's 13th birthday. Him and 2 mates, cinema (paid by us) then sleepover here. Sleeping in living room due to tiny bedroom. Told them to be bedding down by midnight. Heard them go to living room at 12.45 (not too much of a problem), still heard awake at 5am!!
I know this was due to one friend who I didn't really want invited anyway who apparently caused other problems as well. So DH took him home 10am sunday much to friend's annoyance.
DS 1 now very very tired and in fact went to school without his school bag today, didn't realise til he was there, came home for it and late for school (previous for being forgetful therefore I wasn't taking it to him)
WE also seemt o get loads of sleepover requests, almost every week and from the same friends.
So, what time do you expect them to go to sleep?
Am I being unreasonable to restrict them to school hols only unless special occasions? And to ban this friend from sleepovers altogether?
