Convince Your Mom to Let You Have a Sleepover

Sleepovers are great fun! But its not always fun for parents. When you've got work tomorrow and you're listening to the third terrible rendition of a song, its hard work. Here are some ways of convincing your parents to let your parents let you have a sleep over.

Steps

  1. Try to ask your parents when they are in a good mood.
  2. Discuss the sleep over with your parents. Find out what their issues are. See if you can work around them.
  3. Make sure the day is free. Even if the sleep over is for your birthday, do it on a Saturday to Sunday because it's the best time. This way you are hopefully not disturbing your parents when they have to go to work.
  4. Show responsibility. Don't plan on inviting loads of people. A couple of friends is a good number.
  5. Don't plan on getting alcohol for the party unless you are old enough. If you are old enough, drink responsibly.
  6. Keep the noise within reason. If you want to play games, do it earlier on in the night, not at 2 o'clock in the morning.
  7. Don't stop yourself from having a good time and consider other people. You might appreciate it one day.
  8. Let your parents help you plan things. If they know what you want to do, they won't be so apprehensive about what you're planning to get up to.
  9. Also make sure that your parent(s) like your friend and know them. If they don't like your friend and you ask beforehand, in case your mum and dad says "yes", make sure to tell your friend to behave around the house and to not make too much noise.

Tips

  • Be responsible. If you mess up, your parents will be right. Prove them wrong and be reliable.
  • Have fun.
  • Be law abiding. Have a good night.
  • If your parents don't like noise, prove them wrong and play quiet games, like charades or cards or a board game.
  • Tell your friends if your parents aren't keen on a lot of noise or drinking or whatever.
  • If you want to stay up late and your parents are already sleeping then you must keep quiet. Chances are if you are loud they won't let you do it again.
  • Show that you are responsible and don't bother them all the time about it.

Warnings

  • If you're parents say no, eventually you will have to wait until another opportunity comes your way.
  • If your friends drink and they take a bad reaction, you and your parents will be held responsible. So really think about drinking if you're gonna do it.
