[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My teen had a Halloween party last night. She tried to invite as many friends as she could but I had to set a very strict limit because teens are crazy, don’t listen and it can spiral quickly out of control. She felt terrible and had to exclude an entire group of friends because if she invited one from that high school, they’d all show up. She also had to tell people no bringing friends. 25 extra kids showed up anyway, I was grateful it wasn’t 100. The problem is snap map, they can see where the party is and univited kids just show up.

Maybe explain to her that viewpoint? Parents have been arrested and reputations ruined over out of control teen parties. At some point, you have to say no and it still won’t work.

That said, I am so very sorry for your daughter. My kid has been on the other side in her shoes not being invited many times and knows the pain which is how she ended up with so many kids at our house. My heart hurts for her. Also trust that you don’t want your kids at some of these parties. I won’t be letting mine throw another one. Sometimes not going is a blessing in disguise. [/quote]

I am not quite at 100 teen parties yet but we are the hang out house. My kid is very social and would invite everyone and their friends and anyone who wants to come if I let him. We have kids at our house multiple times per week. I tell him he can have X people. Recently he left out a kid because of the max limit I gave him and I found out that the kid was upset and then left my son out. I realized they were on a FaceTime call and I said that my son wanted to invite him over this past weekend but I said no to too many people and that I was sorry. Now friend group in tact again.

You couldn't add ONE KID? You're part of the problem, mom. [/quote]
