[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- I didn’t allow it at all at first when I found out no parent ever there.  But only 1 other mom out of 7 neighborhood boys have issue with this- so rest of kids  always there- of course- who wouldn’t want to hang at huge house with lots of toys, teen girls and no parents.  Then the other mom allowed her son son outside only and I agreed that’s ok.  Then the pool damage happened- kids threw patio furniture in deep end damaging pool. My son didn’t do that - it was one kid/ but the homeowner texted all the neighbors boys parents with  the warning of please invite only and respect his property.
   So bigger issue is, why am I about the only parent not concerned with boys/ girls unsupervised. Am I way too strict? Most of the neighborhood boys are good overall- couple get bit rowdy- but most are equally unsupervised with parents having busy social lives.
  I want to follow my gut - but also be open to someone saying I am way to strict if I’m being too protective- strict??? I trust my son, but still feel like boys don’t need to go over there.
  And yes, it would help if the dad would text it is ok- since he asked for kids to only come with invite. [/quote]

I grew up going to parties like this and weed and alcohol come out. Bedrooms ventured into. Slut shaming the next day. Add phones. Add lawyers. You are not overreacting. You are parenting young teens. Age 17-18, sure no problem. 13-15. Crazy. Protect your kid. [/quote]

Neighborhood kid with uber crazy parents now suing neighborhood parents for alcohol poisoning.  No one is surprised, sadly. [/quote]

OP, some Googling of news sources will show you that bad things happen with the type of situation you describe. Not "might happen" but will happen.[/quote]
