[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of our neighbors and DD is friends with their daughter have no rules when it comes to drinking. (They are 16). Last night, the party was so loud the police showed up. DD is out of town with sport. She called and I mentioned the raging party and she seemed unsurprised. I get this is pretty common but it still surprised me that parents are willing to take this risk with other people’s children.

No real question besides what do you do? DD is not allowed to sleepover there but Ildi we say no contact with this girl?[/quote]

If you think the maga parents ever care about someone else’s kid bad you

This is very common

This is why you must teach your children to be free to call you any time no questions asked because other parents are idiots [/quote]

I don’t understand the MAGA angle here, other than that some need to make every discussion about that.  The “houses that allow drinking” we encountered were those of pretty progressive people.  As a parent, it is infuriating—the permissive parents are, in my experience, so self-righteous in their views that “everyone is going to do it” and “its safer at home” that they are literally stocking their basement fridge with drinks and making that choice for other people’s kids as well.  The fact that other people’s children are not themselves at home and have to find a way to get home while drunk is, I suppose, a detail they often tend to overlook.  Personally, I think all this is often a rationalization—what these parents really like is feeling like the “cool parents” and living vicariously through their children.  But the reality is that there isn’t much you can do to control your child’s exposure to this sort of thing, it’s quite common, so you just have to hope they make good choices.  [/quote]
