Whats the collective FFA take on their kid's and sleepovers?
I freaking hate them and am getting so sick of constantly being asked from/for my kids to 'sleepover.' I dont understand the need to sleepover, see each other during normal hanging out hours and then go home.
I have a 13 year old girl and a 9 year old boy.
Full transparency, most of it stems from my daughter and her cousin. They are the same age and the cousin is constantly asking for my daughter to have a sleepover. Here's the thing, I despise how my SIL runs her house. Its a free for all all the time, she has an older sister that has bunches of kid I dont know over all the time, and frankly, she's got 3 kids and 2 of them have some psychological issues which causes one to be on meds and the other to be home schooled b/c they cant cope with other people.
Honestly I don't want my daughter in those situations and esp as she gets older I want to be able to control her whereabouts the best I can. And it starts with NOT making sleepovers a weekly thing.
Just today I told my daughter that there will be no talk of sleepovers and sure enough, the cousin is hounding my wife "but why?' "I want [daughter] to sleep over" "How come not?" endlessly (I was not there).
But the problem is that my wifes whole family is on my SIL side and keep asking her 'why cant you letter her sleep over"
1. Because I said so...so F you for trying to under mind my judgment and
2. that house is flippin crazy. But how do I say that without causing WW3?
To compound the problem, one of my daughters other friends is having a sleepover birthday party that my daughter is invited to next weekend. I have no issue with this b/c its a PARTY, the parents are home monitoring everything and not a random thing. But now thats thrown in our face as "well you are letting her sleep there..."
I'm ready to blow my top.
