[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know. On the one hand, I did a lot of stuff my parents weren't aware of and would've been surprised by. On the other hand, I'm happily married, well-educated, financially stable, and generally they're very happy with the adult I've become. So do the details of my high school and college antics really matter?[/quote]

Better for what. It's not part of the question.

Nobody is saying the party kids and the non party kids are going to have different outcomes.

The question is do parents have their heads in the sand if they say my kid is good and does nothing.

The answer is most do but some don't because their kids don't party.

The fact is some parents do have their heads in the sand. You don't know if you are that parent because your kid has become duch a good liar you will never know unless they get in trouble.[/quote]
OP here. That is part of what I am seeing, some parents are clueless so, so much. I know bcs, hey, my DD gets in trouble with other kids! And parents of these kids either ignore it, maybe they think it is fine, or have no idea. I know which kids smoke pot, which had sex behind the school, etc.... And then I see this same kid acting like a 4 year old with her mom, and mom telling me how she is so naive and innocent, however will she cope in college?![/quote]
