[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This year is not my first time experiencing HoCo as a parent and I can totally relate to the chaos!

DD and her friends - all smart, successful, reasonably grounded kids - take care of all the planning. Sounds great, right?  Except [b]it's always a total $h1tshow![/b]  :lol:

It seems to always start out as just a few girls getting ready together, and maybe dinner, before the dance. Then some kids get dates, that don't always have overlapping friend groups, who have already started making their own plans. And then, of course, others kids get invited or ask to join in, in some or all of the festivities, and things just snowball from there.

Every year it's multiple "getting ready" houses/pre-parties, separate public spaces for pictures, dinner before (or maybe after, with apps before?) an afterparty? or maybe a sleepover?... The list goes on and on, with plans made without any regard for proximity or logistics, that are being changed up to and through the very last minute.

In DD's circle, parents don't really get involved and seem perfectly content to be at their kid's beck and call all night as a chauffeur. I'd actually prefer a bit of coordination and encourage DD to help lock-in who's driving who to where, with some limited success.
