[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Visited my kid for parents' weekend. He's 18 but clearly not worried about drinking age anymore. The college culture with its beer posters and frat parties has always celebrated alcohol but I was a little surprised by how open it is. This seemed universal. Every dorm room I saw,[b] every party I attended was focused on alcohol.[/b] I'm not sure there is anything we can do as parents - he is hundreds of miles away.[/quote] I'm not faulting you, OP, because I have heard this from other parents with older kids, but I don't get why parents are at kids' parties on during parent's weekend. Granted, I'm a dinosaur, but when I was in college, we hung out in the dorm, went to dinner with our parents, etc., but if there was a party going on I would have been laughed out of the room if I brought my parents. What gives? Is this more about our generation being "friends" with their kids? Seems kind of inappropriate. [/quote]
