[quote=Anonymous]It is a good idea to double check with parents. This is how my DD got in trouble, when I was out of town one night(she is almost 16) and invited friends without my permission.  I blame myself though. Plus, they are completely clueless for the most part about timelines and what is ok, because peer pressure is insane and our kids don't know how to deal with it. Now, I call other parents when she is going there, I need a phone number of parents as well, you could say I learned from my mistakes too. I was too trusting and while she never gave me reason prior not to trust her, but she is pretty immature and thinks she knows everything, but honestly clueless about so many things.  Not all teens are the same, my DS is overly responsible, so for him I didn't have to do any of this, but I am not saying one way is better than the other, maybe DS will get in trouble later?  As for other parents, sometimes they are clueless(like I was with DD that one day) and just yesterday my DD got invitation in the afternoon to go to some concert and it was the parent who put me in a awkward position, but mom never even contacted me, it was all done with kids texting and going hysterical. So, my advice is to try to find a middle, based on your kid. Some kids need more parental involvement, some less.[/quote]
