[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son went to college in Boston.

The first year we went to every game, but we had a child at home. So we either included one of us or all three of us. My junior said he would have a party if we left them at home alone. He was just being honest and he said his friends would pressure him into it so…

The second year was Covid so… we didn’t have a year, the third year was post Covid and parents weren’t allowed to attend.

For the next three years we went to almost every game. He ended up with two years of extra eligibility and went to graduate school.

Every game has pregame with parents, a post game for the players and parents, then there was a gathering with all the senior and junior parents.

We either flew up or drove up the day of and drove back the next day.

It is so much fun. I wouldn’t have done it any other way.

He did have a really bad injury and yeah, I was very happy to be there. I couldn’t imagine watching it on TV.

My friend son played basketball and she went to every game which to me I was in the same because they have multiple games a week and their season is so much longer.

Weird that your kid feels he could be forced by his friends to have a party despite family rules.

I would worry about the friend group and your kid’s self esteem. (What will he be pressured to do in college??) [/quote]
