People Share Stories Of Sleepovers That Got Uncomfortable

From a former Redditor:

I was invited to birthday sleepover party for a kid in my class when I was in third grade. I barely knew the kid, but my mom said it would be nice if I went because he didn't have many friends. I was about to find out why. When I arrived to the house, the enclosed front porch was full of feces. To be honest, I'm not sure it was dog or human, although there were about five or six dogs wandering around. The smell immediately made me sick, and I asked the kid's mother if she could call my mom to come pick me up because I felt sick. She refused and said, "I'm not going to do that, you just got here. That would be ridiculous." The next thing I know, me and the other kids (the birthday boy, another friend, and birthday boy's brother) are sitting on the floor of the kitchen eating pizza. We were required to finish three large pizzas because the mom "spent all day making them." It was immediately followed by cake and ice cream.

Afterwards, I again asked the kid's mom if she would call my mom to pick me up. She refused. We were then told to go outside to sled while she watched movies, and we were not allowed to come back in until about 10 pm. When we finally came back inside, my stomach was quite upset about being force-fed pizza and sweets, followed by being repeatedly sent down a large hill in the dark. When I proceeded to throw up in the house's only toilet, I was yelled [at] for messing up the mother's night and throwing up in her toilet. She then called my mother to come pick me up. At midnight.

From Redditor u/humanhighlightreel32:

Friend had a sleepover for his birthday. His mom was a HUGE smoker. "Chain smoker" doesn't even go far enough. She was lighting the next one before the current one was finished. My dad had to come pick me and two of my friends up. One woke me up crying because he had horrible asthma and was suffocating. The other just wanted to get out. My eyes burned. It was rough. So I snuck to their phone, called home (at 3 am), and my dad came and picked us up. Gave my friends some clothes to wear so he could wash everything while we crashed. The way he recalls it, when we got into the car, my dad started gagging. Felt bad for the friend having the sleepover. We just told him the following week at school that we had to be up for something in the morning.

From Redditor u/NailArtaholic:

The mother accused me of stealing $50. When I tried to leave to go home, she blocked the door and insisted she drive me home. I bolted out of the door when she went to get her keys.

Turns out she just didn't want me to spend the night, but thought accusing me of theft was the best way to get me to leave.

From Redditor u/HorseMeatSandwich:

Cockroaches. Cockroaches everywhere.

When my friend’s mom pulled the cereal box out of the cupboard in the morning, multiple cockroaches fell out onto the counter. It was awful.

From Redditor u/plateishot:

I spent the night at a kid's house that lived a couple streets over in the same neighborhood who I had only known through other friends I had on his street.

We had to read the Bible and sing hymns and then go to bed at 7:00 pm, which during the summer is essentially broad daylight.

But before we went to bed, the kid's mom made him sit on the toilet to poop and pee and then the guy's mom still wiped his butt for him (we were roughly 11-12) and did it with the door wide open. If all this wasn't uncomfortable enough, his mom laid on the bed with him and brushed his hair and sang to him so he could fall asleep.

I got up as soon as the whole house was asleep and went out via their garage, which set off their house alarm, and booked it home.

From Redditor u/HumanoidRobot:

Stayed at a friend of a friend's house. Woke up with his dad (thick mustache and glasses, and a mild grin) just watching us sleep. I just laid there, not moving and pretended to be asleep.
