[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t track my kid in high school and surely won’t start now. Same with their bank acct.

Just because they are in touch doesn’t mean they aren’t partying. You have to let go. [/quote]

Said the parent who won't be up a creek if their kid wastes thousands upon thousands of dollars when they get kicked out from poor grades due to too much partying. College is the most expensive thing that most people will ever pay for. I can't blame them for wanting to know what is going on with their kid.[/quote]

College kids party multiple times a week (ie more than a normal adult would consider reasonable). The vast majority do not get kicked out for bad grade. Why the assumption that if your kid picks up a beer that the worse will happen.  [/quote]

Exactly. Did any of you actually go to college?

I drank starting when I was 19 (and I didn't tell my parents, so those of you who claim your kids aren't drinking until they're 21 shouldn't be so naïve). My friends and I worked at the radio station and we were known for throwing kick ass dance parties that lasted all night and had themes like hot pants and 40s.

I still graduated with a 3.85 (magna cum laude) and won multiple academic awards.

Partying isn't necessarily this horrible thing that will lead to your kid failing out and getting his/her stomach pumped every weekend. Calm down. [/quote]
