Not baby related just a vent

So my first daughter's 9th birthday was yesterday and we had a sleepover. There were 8 girls here, and I expect them to run and be loud, but these girls were crazy and super disrespectful! They didn't go to bed until 1am as they ran up and down the stairs screaming, and then one girl woke them up at 5 and they start screaming again I was like whoa. My husband works late so super pregnant goes out to calm them down and put a movie while I shower and see my daughter is still in her room sleeping. One of the kids say, "Hey lady are you going to feed us or what?" My daughter and her best friend tend to act a little more mature for their age, so I asked one of the girls if it was normal for them to stay up so late wake up early and then demand food... She said umm yeah we do what we want in our house on the weekends. Ok then my husband wakes up and informs me one of the girls at 12 am asked him to read them a book. I was super confused so I asked parents as the girls got picked up and sure enough they agreed with their kids that they have free range on the weekend! All I'm saying is my daughter better never act that way or speak to anyone like that ever! So you ladies with older kiddos does this usually happen at sleepovers???

    My 9 year old daughter has sleepovers at our house. They are loud, watch movies until late at night, make a huge mess of her room, leave clothes all over the floor, and generally run amok.

    However, they do not demand food, they ask nicely for snacks and drinks and in the morning they know that I'll have breakfast at about 730am for them. They know that if they act up, I'll call their mom to come get them. I know all the moms so this threat is very real.

    All this being said, I sit the girls down for a 5 minute expectations and rules briefing. I let them know that I will not tolerate disrespect, fighting, dangerous behaviour or other such shenanigans. I've never had to call a mom.

    You might want to do something similar and make it clear what you will and will not tolerate. It saves me a huge headache.

    Yeah, we talked about not being rude and all playing as friends at the start of the night. It didn't seem to work lol. I am one of the parents who don't really care if they jump and do their gymnastics in the basement and had set out tons of snacks and drinks for them (which I didn't think little girls could eat so much lol) but the three girls who had the issue I didn't know their moms, however have since told them and they weren't surprised. My daughter's two best friends pretty much live at our house (I've actually considered buying a bunk bed for her since they are here so much) and never had issues. They get their food when their hungry and everything so I'm just assuming it was a couple of them that were just raised like that... I told my husband if these little girls didn't send me into labor nothing will lol
