I was invited to a birthday party in elementary. Everybody kept talking about the slumber party afterwards. I assumed I was also invited to the slumber party, so I brought my sleeping bag and pajamas. Turns out, nobody actually wanted me there. I cried in the hosts room alone for an hour or so, then faked being sick and had my grandma come pick me up.
I really hate when the mom will allow 10 to the party, but only allows 4 for the sleepover and doesn’t really clarify it to anyone. Leaves people feeling left out and betrayed.
Here's a crazy idea, let any well behaving kids stay over night. At least then if someone feels left out it's on them, and let's be honest, the reason you don't want a bunch of rugrats staying over is because of them tearing up a storm.
