Sleepovers have their own rules and regulations. And one major rule is that you completely ignore the sleep part. Sleepovers are all about fun, excitement, chit-chat, noise, eating junk food, watching movies, and everything else joyous. They are not for people who have fixed sleeping and waking up routines and are not ready to be flexible for sleepovers. Those kinds of kids always suffer because they never enjoy the sleepover and don’t let others do it either.
Something similar happened when Reddit user u/dadofagirl’s daughter called her friends over for a summer sleepover including a new friend she made, Monica. OP made sure the girls had a great time so he took them all out at first for entertainment and then dropped them at the house for them to do their thing. Monica, however, got tired very quickly and wanted to sleep. She said she has a fixed sleeping routine and would like to keep following it. OP let her sleep in his daughter’s room but only 30 minutes later she came out wanting all the other girls to keep it low as the noise was not letting her sleep.
OP and his daughter had a discussion over this privately and they decided it was best and fair for everyone that he dropped Monica back to her home.

1. Someone didn’t know how to do sleepovers.
2. OP’s daughter calls her friends over during summers for sleepovers and her father doesn’t mind it.
3. OP is chill with the sleepovers as long as the kids remain within their boundaries and their parents allow them to get together.
4. OP’s daughter recently made a new friend from her neighborhood, Monica.
5. In her next sleepover OP invited Monica over as well.
6. Monica tired up quicker than the other girls and wanted to sleep. OP offered her his daughter’s room.
7. Monica didn’t have the energy to party but at the same time was disappointed that others would continue on with the fun without her.
8. 30 minutes later Monica comes out of the room and complains about the other girls being too loud.
Okay, now Monica is being a bit too much. She literally has no sense of sleepovers, this factor has just been confirmed. If she was not going to be so rigid with her routine, she should have never come. There’s a lot of learning for her to do before she attends her next sleepover. Teenage kids on a sleepover are meant to stay up all night and have fun rather than sleep at 9 p.m. It defeats the whole point of a sleepover.
Let’s see how OP’s father reacted to this situation. Scroll down below to continue reading!

9. OP spoke to his daughter about this privately. They decided to send Monica back to her home.
10. Monica’s parents claimed sending their daughter back was not right…all girls should’ve just called off the fun and slept on time.
11. OP asked the AITA community if sending Monica home was the right thing to do or not.

Here’s what the internet had to say about this:
12. Monica has much to learn about sleepovers.
13. Sleeping that early on a sleepover just defeats its purpose.

14. Even if Monica had no idea about how sleepovers worked, surely her parents knew about it. They could’ve informed her all about it and then let her decide.

15. Two arguments are enough to make the decision OP’s daughter made.
