[quote=Anonymous]If this were my son and his friends:
- ask for contact info for all kids and their parents and start a group text where you say you’re so happy to have them and lay out some house rules (no drinking/drugs, no driving after dark). Make sure you have emergency contact info for everyone.
- go in and talk to them the first night and go over expectations/house rules - drinking/driving/nothing x rated on tv/keep noise down after 11, clean up after yourself, what you’ll need help with the last morning, that you may be in and out of their unit, plus anything else you’d tell an Airbnb guest. Be warm and friendly, give them food, but make sure they know what you expect of them and that you’re keeping an eye out.
- talk to your son separately about how your priority is to keep everyone safe - and if anything unsafe is happening he needs to let you know about it. Reassure him you won’t freak out if there are problems and what you really need is for him to feel like he can come to you for help

If this were my friends kids, I’d assume there may be some drinking still, and would not totally freak out about it, but I want them to be on notice that I’m paying attention and will shut things down if I see anything problematic.

Also, they should wear helmets![/quote]
