[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We allowed our HS freshman kids (twins, different parties) to attend after parties after calling the hosting parents to make sure they'd be home and somewhat monitoring the party.

I was told things like, "wow, you are the only one who's called," "yes, we are collecting backpacks at the door and the kids will be downstairs and backpacks upstairs," and the like.  This gave me confidence that it would not be a free-for-all.

We also arranged a password with the kids:  if they texted us X at any time, we would call them, state "there was a family emergency and we had to pick them up."  That we would then pick them up, no questions asked.[/quote]

NP here. We did this when our kid was a sophomore… got the number and called, etc. We were also told we were the only parents who checked in.

(We said no her freshman year for the reasons stated in above posts. We didn’t think 14 was old enough yet, and that the dance itself was enough of a big step into high school.)

If you do let her go, I recommend calling. It put your mind at ease. [/quote]
