[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't over think this. If the kids know underage drinking doesn't fly int eh house but is ok for those of age in moderation, it's fine. You catch anyone underage drinking, take the booze.

I say this assuming nobody has any underlying addiction/recovery issues, and the kids in question have been responsible. If that's not the case, feel free to ignore my $.02. [/quote]
In my experience as a mom of teens, and seeing a lot of their friends, I can't figure out where are these kids that know drinking for them doesn't fly in the house.  And my kids and their friends are considered by most people as " best behaved teens they ever saw!"[/quote]

PP you're quoting. I don't know, maybe we're just lucky. It's not been an issue. But part of it may also be that the place is small enough that there isn't somewhere to sneak off to with the booze and [b]there are adults who won't stand for it present[/b]. [/quote]

Agree with this. We have been clear with DC and their friends about our expectations and it's never been an issue.  Only time we've had to reinforce expectations is with older cousins friends have always been respectful of our expectations.  But, we are always around and visible and have lots of the things they like to eat and nonalcoholic drink options of their choice (flavored sparking water, fancy lemonade, soda).

How old are your kids?[/quote]

“Don’t over think it” poster. Old enough to drive me to the airport. FWIW, I don’t think a party has to have alcohol, and if folks aren’t comfortable with it, don’t do it. But we haven’t had an issue.[/quote]

I'm with you.  None of our adult friends would tolerate underage drinking, and our kids wouldn't do it. Maybe we're lucky too.[/quote]
