Listen to your mum. Show her how responsible you can be by staying calm and asking her why you can't have a sleep-over. If she is willing to discuss it, plan to have just one friend over to begin with. Your mum might be worried about the responsibility of taking care of someone else's child for the night, and she could be worried about something going wrong or your friend getting sick. She could have a very good reason but you won't know what it is until you are willing to talk to her properly instead of complaining and demanding.

Ha ha a sleep over! Must admit I laughed my head off when read your 'Problem', you are 12, you are a child and I'm afraid at your age mums rule. My dad died on Sunday and I regret every cross word I exchanged with him, so why don't you spend your time with your mum and enjoy being a kid! Good luckx

OMG, you are aleady 12, most of your life is over and you have never had a sleep over. I am sorry in my days kids did not even start having sleep overs till they were 12 or older. And to be honest some parents enver allowed them at their home, the parent did not want the legal and other responsibility of the kids there.

So what do you do, nothing, you respect your parents decissions and enjoy what you do get to do.

Here's a decent explanation as to why your mother may not let you have a sleepover.

When your friends sleep over, you guys rent a movie, stay up late, eat pizza and ice cream, and... hang out. That's YOUR perspective.

This is your mother's:

When your friends sleep over, your parents have to put on their "guest mode." She may have to clean up the house a bit, and when your friends get there, your mother has to be responsible for all of your friends, and they have to be attentive. They have to get the movie, pizza, and ice cream for you guys, and they have to deal with kids running around the house. When they leave, your mother has to clean up the mess that the kids made.

... so.. maybe that gave you a little perspective?

Perhaps she simply doesn't want another child in the house and maybe she thinks it's just not necessary,after all evenings are her time,it maybe the only time she gets to relax having rushed around all day.

You can try talking to her about it. Try to be as mature as you can. No whining or getting rude. She won't listen to you if you do. Just tell her how you feel about how other kids get to have sleepovers and you do not. You might not get the answer that you want in the end. Just know that you can keep trying... she'll come around eventually. Ask her why she's against sleepovers, this way you can try and understand it if you know her reason. Hopefully you'll be able to get her to hear your upset about having no sleepovers. I think sooner or later she'll let you... Just remember when you really want something from your parents you have to talk to them about it in a mature fashion. Give them you reasons as to WHY you want sleepovers... all of your reasons. And remember to ask them all of their reasons as to why they won't let. Just negotiate. Ask them if they are "open" to negotiations, (that means a big long discussion where you and your parents will compromise). And being "open" means, if they are OK with the idea of negotiating. Good luck.
