  2. Every week I tell my kids that they are going to lose their sleep over at gramma's house if they "...fill in the blank here..." Somehow they still believe that sleepovers are a treat for them, and that I don't have my own motives behind it! The only time I have ever followed through was when my mom or I had canceled the sleep over and I didn't tell them until they really got me mad, and took it away as punishment!! I gotta make it seem like a real threat somehow!
