There is only way to be the cool parent. Put on your Darth Vader costume and voice emulator at 1:00 am scare them all so badly they will quiet down and let you sleep. Oh, you mean cool with the kids and not with the other pparents? Yeah, that can't happen.

SOUND advice. Wish I read it Saturday morning before agreeing to a double sleepover that kicked my kid’s butt so hard he came home from school early Monday because he fell asleep 6 times in class. Also what’s up with Taki’s? Why are the kids all obsessed with them???

Shoot, sorry I didn't get this to you earlier! And I have no idea about the Taki's. My oldest had them at a friend's house a few weeks ago and now we might be in a cult?

We are also in that cult. And my kid hates anything spicy. And now all he wants is spicy chips. This has to be a YouTube thing. But at least we’re off the Prime water bandwagon.

I've never thought about how hosting a sleepover can impact a marriage. It's important to avoid these common mistakes to keep the peace at home. Impressive work! 👏🏼

<snort> My kids are too introverty to want sleepovers, but this was so funny that I submitted my husband to me reading half of it to him.
