Organising sleepovers is a “pain in the backside” for parents and “unnecessary pressure” for children, according to Shane Coleman.

host said children’s sleepovers are “an absolute pain in the backside from a parent's point of view”.“But to be honest, that’s fine, I don't have a problem with that, I’ve done sleepovers before, and you get around that.”Shane said the real issue with children’s sleepovers is simply that children often aren’t ready for them.

“It’s one of those many things we're doing with kids nowadays, where we're kind of getting them to grow up too fast,” he said.“I just think they put on unnecessary pressure on young kids who are then up half the night because let’s face it, they don’t sleep well on sleepovers.“Let them do it when they’re 14, 15, 16, when they can enjoy it and they can feel secure.

“I think sometimes we're afraid of our lives with our kids now because I know how precious they are.”
