The aftermath of all of them have been rough on the family. \u201cShe comes home tired and grumpy,\u201d said Olivia\u2019s mom Annie. \u201cFrom what I&#8217;ve observed, it is about the same thing as an adult going to Vegas for three days. You come home exhausted, unable to think, and sometimes sick. The worst thing is, you know it&#8217;s coming. There&#8217;s no chance you are sending your kid over for an overnight party and they will come home how you sent them. You know you&#8217;re totally screwing your entire family\u2019s life up for a while after the event.\u201d Kids are excited so they can\u2019t get to sleep well, plus they are in a new environment. \u201cFor kids, routine is everything,\u201d said Annie. \u201cI mean, when we stay at a hotel, VRBO, or even a relative\u2019s house, it gets the kids way off schedule. So, when they stay somewhere else without familiarity and their family, but they have their friends there, it&#8217;s just chaos for the child.\u201d Although the first three sleepovers were difficult, Olivia\u2019s most recent one was particularly hard. \u201cUsually, recovery is about a four day process,\u201d admitted Annie. \u201cShe is way off schedule, takes an afternoon nap, falls asleep late, wakes up the next morning late, and so on. We kind of know what to expect. But, with this last one, the cycle simply repeated itself for over a month.\u201d According to Annie, Olivia got a cold, was never able to get back on the appropriate sleeping schedule and was grumpy for a month. \u201cI\u2019m not sure if it was the particular place she was staying, or just a combination of several factors. But, I\u2019m not sure I\u2019m willing to go through that again.\u201d Annie says she is going to be careful in considering allowing Olivia to go to any more sleepovers this year. \u201cI always thought seven year olds were too young to sleepover,\u201d said Annie. \u201cAnd, maybe it&#8217;s just a maturity issue. No matter what it is, I\u2019m not sure we will go through it again anytime soon.\u201d Yes you will, Annie. Yes you will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-7167","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-152","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7167"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7167\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7899,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7167\/revisions\/7899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
