[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK how is it that all these parents on here are so sure their kids aren't partying? Judging from my friends' parents and my own parents' ideas of how we spent our time, I've concluded that parents don't know the half of what goes on.  A friend of mind found out her DC was partying and experimenting way more than she thought.  Not that that's a bad thing.  I just think it's strange that so many on here are so certain they know.

This. My daughter is at a smallish college with an active parent Facebook group. I could create an entire photo essay comparing and contrasting the posts on the parents group about “my kid doesn’t party/drink/etc” with the photos from the Instagram posts of my daughter and her friends. Yes your kid parties. Yes, I heard about how your daughter was throwing up in my daughter’s floor all night because she and her roommate decided they couldn’t leave your daughter alone after they saw how drunk she was. Yes, your “bookish son that prefers board games and Xbox” is in the pictures from the frat party last Thursday. The kids are fine, they’re taking care of each other, they’re going to class and working hard, they’re learning how to be grown ups, and they aren’t sharing everything because they know you’d be disappointed or you’d worry.
