[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The parents should’ve been more exclusive about who they invited. We often get complaints about being cliquey, but the people excluded would react horribly to being invited. Some of us are ok with kids drinking small amounts of alcohol. I grew up in Europe and have had beers with teachers. I think it’s much healthier. The students never do more than sip respectfully. I’d rather be with them during these first, tepid encounters than have them have nothing, to go college, and encounter it for the first time at an American frat house.

You think you are the cool parent, but the teens are laughing at you behind their back.  My DC goes to these parties (as do we), and then comes home and laughs about the parents who never grew up and don't know how to act like parents.  You should not be deciding for other parents whether their kid can drink.  End of story.[/quote]

I’m not the poster you are quoting, but how weird that you encourage your kids to make fun of other people. You sound mentally unbalanced. [/quote]
