AITA for refusing another sleepover after a parent picked up their child two hours late?

My ten-year-old daughter invited her friend Lila for a sleepover. Lila’s mother, Jenna, said she would pick her up at ten Sunday morning.

At 9:45 Jenna texted that she was running behind. At 10:30 she said she had stopped for groceries. At eleven she stopped answering.

I had promised to take my daughter to a noon skating lesson. I brought Lila with us, paid for her admission and borrowed skates, and finally saw Jenna arrive at 12:20.

Jenna apologized. Her phone had died after the grocery message, and the checkout line plus traffic took longer than expected. She reimbursed the skating cost that evening.

I told her there would be no more sleepovers at my house.

My daughter burst into tears. Lila heard me and looked embarrassed. Jenna said I was punishing both children over one chaotic morning she had already repaired.

The lateness itself was manageable. What frightened me was not knowing whether I was responsible for Lila for another ten minutes or the entire day. I also felt used when groceries appeared in the explanation; she had added an errand while I was still providing childcare.

Jenna has offered a backup contact and earlier pickup time next time. I still do not want to host.

My daughter says they can never have sleepovers because Jenna’s apartment is too small and her father works nights. I made the rule to avoid being trapped again. The trap now belongs mostly to the children.
