Next-Day Grumpies
Even if you completely trust your neighbors and friends, here's one reason to reconsider sleepovers: the next day. The kids stay up all night, you can't get any shuteye, the house is a mess and everyone's O.D.ed on junk food. Not exactly the makings of a blissful weekend, is it? Instead, plan a Friday night pizza party and movie night. Everyone leaves by 10, your family gets the sleep they need, and you don't have to deal with cranky kids on a Saturday morning—wins all around!
