DP. Do you have a DD in or about to go to college? If you do, how are you going to stop them from going to a party with a bunch of 18+ yr old boys? |
Why allow your child to go? |
Parents should just know a major reason why their daughters may be suffering from depression... sex assault. Most girls aren’t telling their parents about it. Abortions don’t erase the often serious depression caused by sex assault. |
I am on my 4th kid and I have never heard of a parent renting a house and not staying in the house. Every house I have been familiar with - for my kids or others at their schools - has always had 2-3 chaperones at a time. |
It sounds like you have raging anxiety. You should get help for that. |
Good that your children are chaperoned by responsible people you trust. |
NP. I was going to post this, too. Can’t believe the entitlement of the A$$home parents in here that would get their kids a rental (a home that someone owns!) and would drop them off there knowing full well what the kids will be doing there. It’s no surprise those are the kids that tear things up. No respect for other people’s property. Unbelievable. |
Such a great idea. |
My oldest is in college and they pregame before going to fraternities and will only drink a beer or seltzer that hasn’t been opened and they never put it down and keep the small hole covered by their hand. They always have one sober girl a night to navigate. Not perfect but they aren’t hard partners either. But beach week 24/7 it is much harder to avoid the risks. |
Yup, the OBX is openly telling people they will be looking to arrest Larlo and friends for fake IDs, public drunkenness and anything else they can think of, in addition to the landlords ready to evict anyone violating the terms of the lease (whether it’s too many people in the house, the person signing the lease not staying there, etc.) Hope it’s worth it for this stupid concept that 18 year olds need a week in a beach rental to get drunk and act stupid. |
+1 beach week is for losers |
Usually those women are drunk. My shy nephew went to Beach Week and ended up sleeping with 7 girls, the girls initiated the act. I'm sure they were drunk too... |
| My kid just came back from Corolla. At least three parents were at the house at all times. There was drinking, but all under strict rules. No drama, no cops (tho they were patrolling a lot), nobody got hurt, all scholarships and acceptances are intact! |

Look, the bottom line is that every single one of you who is allowing your graduate to go to the beach and stay at a house where adults won’t be present knows full well that there will be underaged drinking involved and that the owner of the house doesn’t know it. You’re all enablers. And you’re all pushovers.
The “they will be in college soon enough” doesn’t cut it. When they are in college, they will be living in dorms where there will be rules and supervisors. That’s not going to be happening during beach week. |
That was pretty much my list too. He is 18, he has an Uber account and his own bank account and I told him to call/text me if he wanted me to come get him. |
