Fraggle Rocker,
I find it doubtful you never played "doctor"? Dr. Kinsey was big in the 1950's.

Actually, I have found the answer:
Sleepovers stop when *I* say: no more sleepovers!
it makes the friend think you dont like them!!
By the way, this whole thing boils down to my not being able to sleep if there is noise around. So as long as they are making noises 3 miles away, I don't care!!!
That's a cool trick, the hoover. I did that once, for fairness' sake. If they don't let me sleep by night, why should I let them sleep by day?
Not with children. You don't seem to understand that in those days adolescence was an extended childhood. We didn't have adult fun but we didn't have adult responsibilities either. It was really rare for a high school kid to own a car; the parking lot was full of bicycles. (Driving age was 16 in those days and we all got our licenses but that didn't mean we were actually out on the roads.) Nobody I knew ever heard of the Kinsey report until we were in college. Even if I had, I had nobody to play doctor with. I didn't start dating until my senior year and girls were not nearly as casual about sex as they are today. There was about one teen pregnancy in my entire town and it was truly a "scandal."I find it doubtful you never played "doctor"? Dr. Kinsey was big in the 1950's.
There's a reason that everybody sleeps at more or less the same time and is up working at more or less the same time, even in the modern era when jobs are more flexible. Kids need to learn about that and you gave them a good lesson.she thinks that was a low thing to do, but hey, if i can't sleep, because she woke her brother up, then why the hell should she sleep all day!!

We were not "young adults" as they're called today. We were kids and we did kid stuff.There's a reason that everybody sleeps at more or less the same time and is up working at more or less the same time, even in the modern era when jobs are more flexible. Kids need to learn about that and you gave them a good lesson.
yes, but most of them were married.
I still have people sleep round. And i'm 23.
No, it is true that a married teenager (or that marriage was the outcome of teenage pregnancy) was more popular back then then it is today, the median for marriage back then was 20.3, compared to todays 26, which means a marriage at 15-17 was still odd even in the 1950's
