My friend did this:

If her kid was going to a party, both parents ALWAYS drove the kid (even after the kid had her own car). Even though she would first verify (WITH the parent!) that there would be a parent in the home of the party, there was often NO adult at the house when the party started. So they went home.

Even parents who you knew and trusted will lie to you.

Your job:
[b]Trust, but verify. Always[/b].[/quote]

We call the parents of the teen throwing the party.

Once we did that and they said they would be home.  At dropoff, I had a bad/"off" sensation, so a half-hour later I texted DC and told him he needed to leave.  I picked him up.  He was furious.

Several hours later, the cops busted the party and issued a bunch of citations.[/quote] And that taught him what?  Mom runs his life.  If he stayed and got the citation maybe he actually would have learned something.  It is not a parents job to eliminate anything bad that can happen to kids.  It is parents job to teach them to make good choices on their own and learn from their mistakes.  [/quote]
