Unless things have changed in the last decade or three it is usually just as simple as asking.


"Mom, I've been invited to a sleepover at someones house on Friday." "Here is Mrs. Someones phone number if you want to call her." "Is it okay if I go?"


I don't think it should be any harder than that. You gave her the phone number of your friends mother to call and confirm the sleepover and find out if Mrs. someone will be there to supervise and you have asked for permission. Hopefully you have given you mother enough time to check with Mrs. someone so mom can say yes rather than say no because she doe not have the time to check out the sleepover.


Sleepovers are a right of passage. All children and teenagers have them as they grow up. I;m sure mom is just waiting for you to ask to attend one or even ask to have one at your house. So you are not asking fro something mom has never heard about or even participated in when she was your age.

Sleepovers are lots of fun :)

I would ask your mom a couple days before the sleepover (don't spring it on her, parents like time to think) and ask her when she's in a good mood. Tell her your friend invited you to stay over, and tell her where your friend lives, and how you would really appreciate it if she let you go. Offer her the mother's phone number incase she has any questions. Then make sure you have your pick up and drop off times settled, and you should be set!

Pack up your pj's, a sleeping bag, and maybe you can bring something for you girls to do like a craft or a board game, makeup, or maybe a treat.

Have fun!

Good luck,

-Abby

Talk it over with your mom and set up a time that's convenient for her and your friends mom. The day of the sleepover is best because when the moms talk, it's easier for her to leave you at the house. Arrange for a pickup or drop off time the next day but not too late (you don't want to overstay your welcome). As long as mom has the house number and a phone number, she shouldn't have a problem letting you stay. I hope this helps and good luck.
