[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Had a "dry" graduation party for my son.  (He was not a cool kid). It was during the day on a Saturday. Only one parent called me to ask if there would be alcohol there.  
Just because the kids are going to sneak and do stuff anyway doesn't mean we shouldn't try and have no-alcohol events. 
I'm not willing to throw in the towel and just see what happens. [/quote]
You're my idea of a good parent.[/quote]

Good for you PP.  And, good for that other parent for calling to ask![/quote]

You do realize most of the parties with drugs and alcohol ... The parents did not supply it, it is hidden from the parents. It's not until somebody throws up that the parents realize there is a breach in security.[/quote]

I hope you then told everyone to call their parents to be taken home. Did you? Or did they drive themselves, not know for sure if they had "too much" to drink?[/quote]
*knowing[/quote]

Except 1/2 the party went home, before you realize it.[/quote]

Nobody should be hosting parties so big they don't know who's there.   Nobody should be letting their kids hang out with "zero" supervision.  If all this is happening, then parents are tacitly condoning it all.  There's no way to hide heavy alcohol use unless the parents are drunk or stoned themselves.  [/quote]

You are clueless. 10 kids over to watch a movie, all are 17, you don't check on kids every 5 min. They sneak in vodka, do shots. 5 leave through the back door, your daughter realizes what is going onand comes to get you. You go downstairs and 1 kid is throwing up, 5 are gone. It happens as fast as that. PPLUS you have known all these kids since K... goood kids. [/quote]
You THOUGHT you've known them since K. 
If that's what they did to your kid at your house, no, they are NOT good kids.
Please stop calling them good kids.[/quote]

You can still be a good kid and experiment.  It is part of growing up.  Yes, not all kids experiment, but it doesn't make you a bad kid if you experiment and it doesn't make you a bad parent if your kid experiments. I am not saying you condone drinking, but you don't know everything your kids is doing all of the time. It is part of growing up to not have mom and dad involved in every aspect of your life.  It is human nature to break rules and test limits.  Nobody on this earth is perfect and has never broken a single rule.  [/quote]
