How do you handle teens and constant sleepovers?

We have four teenagers at home, two of whom (16 and 17) have partners. Our house is just big enough for us, with only one bathroom, and while all four kids have decent-sized rooms, there’s no separate hangout space for them.

Up until now, things have worked fine, but lately, it feels like there’s always someone staying over. On weekends, all four often have friends or partners sleeping over at the same time. It’s starting to wear me out—our grocery bill is through the roof, and I can’t even remember the last time it was just the six of us at the dinner table or when the living room wasn’t packed with teens.

How do other parents handle this? Do you set limits on sleepovers, or is it a free-for-all? I’d love to hear how you manage the chaos!
