My kids are not allowed to go to parties, it is can artificial environment and not one they will encounter in the real world.

They gather in smaller groups, <20, usually 5-10.

They go to Nats games, georgetown games, capitals, movies, skiing, kayaking, fishing, white water rafting, camping.

They drink but in smell groups, and there is food and it is not treated as a game or the center of the event.

They drink at dinner with us, beer and wine, or when we watch sprorting events.

No liquor until they are 21.

They don't pledge, no Greek life.

They don't drink and drive.[/quote]

I am going to assume, here, that "My kids are not allowed to go to parties" does not apply to the 28-year-old and the 22-year-old.[/quote]

Well they aren't kids so... they "can" go to parties. But 28 year olds don't really go to Parties, maybe a cookout or a dinner party, but "parties" are not a reality for that age and beyond. Maybe an 80's themed "party" but still, it is not the classic, a bunch of people that really don't know each other get together and "party", it's generally 6-10 couples and some single thrown in getting together, it's not something posted on social media for all to join.

The 22 year old goes to pubs with friends but hates clubs. Generally, they meet for dinner, wings to watch a game... but "parties" ... not really. None of them own houses yet so the cookout/dinner party thing has not kicked in.

The 15 yo went to a "party" last year, but it had police doing security... still some kids showed up drunk and tried to bring alcohol. He has lost a lot of friends, so did the 22/28 year old at this age. They are going their way of parties and he is finding the "new group" that like to do other things. It is not easy. There are lot of Saturday nights doing nothing, or playing video games with a few friends, because dry parties are not cool.

I am not saying they never broke the rules, all kids try to push them limits in one way or another. [/quote]
