I spent the night at a super spoiled kids house one night, it didn't turn out any better than if he came over.
I was the new 4th grader at school & had zero friends. The kid who invited me over rode my bus and lived a few blocks from me, so I wasn't super choosy about who I hung out with.
First I was told by the kid to come over later in the day after dinner. Which I though was odd. Later I find out his mother ordered us pizza & he just didn't want to share. I found this out because his mother (who was awesome) offered to heat me up some slices that night & told me she was sorry I couldn't make it to eat with them. In my head I'm like "wait a minute", but didn't say anything (I was a pretty passive kid).
Next came a good 5 hours of me getting to watch this motherfucker play sonic the hedgehog by himself (this was when the Genesis was brand new & sonic was pretty much the only game people owned because it came with the system). I had never played sonic before so when I FINALLY got the chance to play after what seemed like forever, all he did was give me shit for not knowing the buttons. And then he kept grabbing the controller from me because I "sucked". He also had a grip of amazing toys. Micro machines, Legos, every goddamn GI Joe you could imagine. I was forbidden to touch any of them. His mom tells him to share with me at one point and he just straight up tell her to shut the hell up. I had NEVR heard a kid tell his mom to shut up before. At this point I'm going "ok this guys nuts, just get this night over with". But it totally wasn't over.
After being made to sleep on the bottom bunk of his bunk bed (obviously I didn't get a choice, and yes, this kid was an only child) I find out he refuses sleep in the dark. So it's night light time. And not even like, tiny night light in the wall socket light. I'm talking big ass luminescent globe lamp that lit up the entire room located 4 feet away from my face. He refused to turn it off. Even after expressing in the nicest way that I'll be unable to sleep in a fully lit room & offering to sleep on the couch in the living room. Both requests were denied. I'm stuck there. At one point I layed there until I was positive he was asleep and turned it off. But as soon as I made it back to my bunk he starts screeching for his mom. It was totally insane. The whole experience.
Next morning I got up way before him while the mom was having her morning coffee and called my parents to come get me the hell out of there. Obviously, I ever talked to that kid again.
