[quote=Anonymous]It’s kind of a tough issue. In my kids’ circles a lot of things are impromptu. So all of a sudden I could have a bunch of kids coming over tonight and the ride home from work for one of mine will fall through and I’ll have to run out for 20
Minutes or send an uber for a kid too young for an uber, which I’m unlikely to do.  Probably happened like twice ever in a decade and a half of raising teens. But point is, not everything is predictable.

That being said, my kids exercised good decision making with friend choices. And I know most parents because of being involved in school and sports activities. So it is easy for me to send a text that I’m running out and they have the option of picking up their kids. Also every kid knows if they want to come back they need to be respectful.

And you will definitely have to get your comfort level. For us, almost all gatherings were always at our house. So I didnt have your concerns. But I worked to make this happen because as a kid who was left to my own devices and a lawyer, I know how little you can control outside of your own house.

And before people jump all over me, my kids are well adjusted, have boundaries and recognize risks. I just am glad to have been able to support them in their decision making.
