Do you approve of teenage sleepovers?
“Nothing good comes from a sleepover!”. This is the mantra that I tell my two boys everytime they ask if they can stay over at a mate’s place. Can someone please tell me what the purpose of a sleepover is and why as parents we allow them to happen? I don’t know about you but my boys come back the next day as tired, snotty little ferals with a whole heap of gangster attitude that us parents have to put up with for the rest of the weekend. What are teenagers needing to do overnight that they can’t do during the rest of the waking hours?
We worry about our kids around the clock, and fear someone will take them or hurt them when we are not around. So why do we allow them to stay at a friend’s house where we have no control whatsoever?
