[quote=Anonymous]I'm so thankful that my oldest (17) didn't have any really good friends who graduated last year, so we don't have this issue.  She had some acquaintances who graduated that she knew from sports teams, but none close enough to want to go visit.

I probably wouldn't let her.  She's a good kid with a good head on her shoulders, but I know exactly what went on when I was in my first year of college and younger HS friends came to visit or college roommate's younger siblings came to visit.  How any of us survived without any arrests or cases of alcohol poisoning, I'll never know.

I vividly remember one weekend when my roommate had to run home to pick up her baby brother (3) and younger sister (14) because her parents were out of town and the nanny had to leave ASAP because of a family emergency.  We ended up getting a guest football ticket for her younger sister and sneaked her brother in under the maxi skirt of our tall, hippie friend.  Not even kidding.  I still have the (disposable) camera photos of us clustered around our hippie friend, giving thumbs up to her pulling up her skirt and my roommate's little brother hidden under there.  We let her little sister drink and get tipsy.  Then, we just put her little brother to bed in her room and closed that door when we had a party later that night.  If the police had shown up that night to bust up our party, we'd have all been beyond screwed.  Ah, to be young and dumb.       [/quote]
