[quote=Anonymous]My kids stay busy with sports.  Best decision we made was to buy a house across from the high school.  We have a finished basement and I have kids here ALL.THE.TIME.  I know all of their friends and spend time talking to them.  Especially, Saturday and Friday nights.  They know I will be in their face and am well aware of alcohol and marijuana on one's breath.  They are not perfect.  When caught doing something stupid, they are put on probation. lOL!  I will inform their parents. I go crazy sometimes with the constant chaos and spend a fortune in pizza.  I wouldn't change it for the world though.  I always know where my kid is and love getting to know his friends.  It only lasts a short period of time.

I also randomly go into the basement unannounced:).

When my kid makes a dumb ass choice, he is majorly grounded.  His posse doesn't know what to do with themselves.  I think they encourage him to keep his grades up, tell the truth, etc. otherwise, our house is closed for socializing?????[/quote]
