I'm 19 and I still have sleepovers at my grandparents and with my best friend. I think it would be fine to still have sleepovers with my bff because we're in college and friends, but I'm wondering at what point am I too old for sleepovers? I've noticed that sleeping is an issue now: we're both too big to sleep in a twin, but I don't get good sleep sleeping on a couch either. She has a queen at her house, but her house is too loud.

And isn't it weird to still be sleeping at my grandparents? Right now they have my great grandma living with them so it's extra stressful for them, so I don't know if they want me sleeping over anymore, like it's time for me to grow up or something.

I'm not sure what to do anymore. I like sleepovers, but at what point is it time to grow up?

Have you asked your grandparents how they feel?

Does your friend live close enough to sleep at her own place?

What do you get out of sleepovers?

I know college roommates sleep in the same room. And there are late-night parties at places like that.

I stay with my cousin at our grandparent's house all the time, and we're both 18 (well, I am almost). It's fun. I don't see any problem with what you're doing

I don't think your ever to old for sleep overs, it just seems to take on a new name. I'm not far off twice your age and i still stay at my friends, but now we do it with pizza, wine and movie and or beauty treatments, which are known as girlie nights. Speak to your grandparents see how they feel about having you staying and if there ok with it and you and your friend still want to continue; forget the age thing it's just a number after all

DrSkipper, I don't think anyone gets too old for a sleepover. Like a previous poster said it just goes by a different name when you get older. I call it spending a night at a friend's. Before she died I'd spend the night at my Mom's so we could have some time together. She was in her 80s and I was in my 50s.

I agree with the others. If you think staying at your grandparents' house is stressing them - ask. It might be that they enjoy having you visit.

As for sharing a bed with your friend. That's up to the two of you. Personally I can't imagine sharing a twin bed with anyone, but that's me. I wouldn't want to share my full sized bedwith someone because I like my space at night.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
