tell them to go to bed before your u bring out the belt and take all of their video games away.
One tried to laugh quietly but it was too funny for them all 😕
One is asleep now (hurray!)

Any ideas?
5 children awake, it's midnight.
3 playing mario on the wii and two watching a film.
Tell the kids they can play for 15 more minutes and then its bedtime. If they don't like it, turn the game off tell them you are the parent, they are the kid, and now it's time to do what they are told. If they still don't listen, the sleepover kids get a ride home immediately and your kids are grounded.
When did parenting become so hard?

I don't want to be mean. I've told them 5 more minutes, then it's time to go to sleep. But they don't seam sleepy, still excited. I'm exhausted I just cleaned up all the toffee popcorn, surprisingly horible mess that stuff makes!
trust me, let them stay up for as long as they like and then wake them up at 6am.
