[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ordinarily I'm really, really good at figuring out when the OP is actually a minor posing as a parent --  i.e., the DD or DS posing as the parent of said daughter/son and asking the question. This time, though, I think either the DS got me and he's adopted his mom's/dad's voice perfectly OR we've got a mom at whom we really are all shaking our collective head and who is really maybe well-intentioned (or something) but REALLY hasn't got a clue.

OP (whoever you are): just no. Or stop it. Or whatever it takes to help you understand that you have explicitly been told NO by the homeowner and that if you allow your son to go over to the home you are directly enabling trespassing not to mention encouraging a minor to go against parental wishes and to flaunt a teenage girl's parent's directives.

As the parent of a teenage girl, I'd consider this an open invitation for a whole raft of options ... not a single one of which is attractive -- and since you're identified as a parent who explicitly would have given permission for her child to attend this event (because your child has had the good sense to discuss this with you, per your post), I would hold you directly accountable.

You have only one responsible choice to model here.  Please do what you would want someone to do were they in your (parental) shoes and just.say.no.

PS If indeed you are a teenager figuring out whether to attend a party or throw one when parents are out of town, again, please don't: it's not worth the horror show that can happen if someone gets hurt or accused, and these days increasingly someone will. Reputations and lives fall apart in seconds and can't get rebuilt no matter how many promises are made, truly.[/quote]

NP +1

OP is totally clueless. Literally encouraging her kid to trespass. Unbelievable.[/quote]
