[quote=Anonymous]I was thinking about this recently OP. I remember as a teen I was SO jealous of the kids with “cool” parents. Not even just the boozy parties but that in general these kids seemed to have no definable curfew and seemed to live such a “grown up” life to me. In order to go to any parties I had to concoct rigorous sleepover stories with a phone number to call that my friend with a very “mom sounding voice” could answer. It only happened on a few occasions and I was amazed at how many kids just acted like it was NBD to be out at these parties at 1 am, no elaborate scheme needed.

As an adult, I’m now aghast. I realize these peers of mine basically had either checked out parents or parents who wanted them to be cool. I’m so grateful that my parents were tough on me with the drunk driving lectures and curfew. I have a totally different view of the “cool” parents now that I’m a mom myself and frankly those adults are pretty big losers, often trying to make themselves seem young and fun.[/quote]
