PROTECTING their kids is easily any parents’ number one priority.

That’s exactly what a woman, who goes by Alissa, intends to do when she tells other parents that her kids can’t sleep over at their homes.

In a skit posted to her TikTok, Alissa demonstrated how she declines to have her kids sleep over at other parents’ homes.

“Thank you so much for having us over. We had so much fun, we’re gonna head out now,” Alissa began the example conversation.

“Would your kids like to sleep over sometime?” the mock parent in the skit asked.

“Oh, thank you so much for the invitation but we actually have a family rule that we do not do sleepovers,” the mom explained.

When asked if she thought the other parents would hurt her kids, she responded: “Oh it’s not personal at all, you know that we love you guys and you’re great. We have the same rules for all families.

“We do not do sleepovers with any family. Just to protect the kids in case anything ever did happen at someone’s house, we would not be able to live with ourselves.

“And we wanna protect our kiddos. So, again it’s not personal, we just do not do sleepovers with other families. Bye!”

Some people in the comments didn’t take kindly to Alissa’s parenting ways.

“This is legit crazy to me. Having sleepovers was absolutely one of the best memories I had growing up,” one protested.

“I couldn’t do this knowing some of my own best memories were from sleepovers,” another disapproving user commented.

Mimicking the same sentiment, another user said: “I don’t get this.

“Sleepovers at my friends’ houses were my favorite memories growing up!!!”

“I had a very toxic household and having [sleepovers] every weekend with friends my whole life saved me so much,” someone shared.

Concerned for the kids’ mental state, someone wrote: “I can only imagine the emotional toll as they’re left out of more and more.

“Some of my best childhood memories were sleepovers with my friends!!”

“Ooof I watched this happen to a friend. She always felt left out and couldn’t go to any sleepovers ever. She legit was talking about hating her childhood,” someone added.
