Ahh, come on. Who here among us has hosted a group of preteen girls having a sleepover and not wanted to sedate them.
Poor guy. Just wanted a minute’s peace.

My 7-y/o daughter recently had a sleepover with three of her friends. By 9:00 pm they were all fighting with each other and crying.
When my preteen has sleepovers I carefully avoid any direct touching. So far only once have I grabbed one of her friends, that was when I was walking her home and she slipped on the ice.
