[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 14-year-old had friends over to play video games while I was at work. This is not unusual. He is a trustworthy kid or typically is. I got in a bit earlier than normal, heard them laughing but then heard, "Man your mom is home" and the rattling of bottles...I went downstairs and immediately smelled beer and knew what was up. I have known all these kids since elementary.  One kid couldn't stop laughing and then my son threw up. Made each kid stand up and found bottles in a bag. Texted each of their parents to come to my house to pick them up. I know the parents very well, everyone is mad and nobody is blaming me but it's MY house and they disrespected MY trust by doing this. Beer was from our basement -- son has never ever violated trust like this before. He began crying and apologizing. Is currently in his room while DH and I decide how to handle this. Am thinking grounding at minimum but I want this lesson to sink in. I just never expected this yet. Was wholly unprepared. Parents who have dealt with this how did you handle????[/quote]
14-yr olds stealing a beer is not unheard of in this world.  You need to be mature about this. Would you rather they tried this at your home or outside? Don't overreact and take it to a point where your child will actively hide things from you. Have a talk and then move on. [/quote]
