‘Why can’t you be more like your brother/sister?’: People share tasteless questions adults ask children

Sleepovers are a recipe for disaster, especially if you don’t know the parents. It’s so much easier to host things in your house where you know nobody is crazy, but when you drop your kids off somewhere else, there’s no guarantee everything will be okay. When I was a kid, I slept over at my …
