[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depending on kids’ personalities it could be totally fine or get crazy. You would have some insight into your DS’ friends. I think at that age some would certainly try to bring alcohol. [/quote]

All boys, 18, good kids that we've known for a number of years, but still... boys. We are pretty much the only family that hasn't hosted anything social among the group (our main house is the smallest of dc's friends!) so I would like to find a way to do this. We will be there but in a connected part of the house with a separate entrance (dc and friends would be in the mother in law unit). What rules should I impose other than no drinking![/quote]

Ok, it's a plus that you already know them and there are no obvious troublemakers in the group and no totally unknown kids. But you still haven't said whether once they're up at your house, will the be driving anywere local to that house, like ski slopes or out to eat/hear music?  No drugs or alcohol is the most basic obvious rule, but it's one thing if they'll pretty much just be in your house the entire time, vs. driving themselves to and from places while there.

OP here. Yes, they'll go skiing. I am considering whether to drive them to skiing, but I could see some kids wanting to take their own car to the slopes. It seems a little controlling for me to tell 18 year olds they can't drive their own cars during the day. Out at night- there are one or two places they might want to go, but they are walkable from our house. [/quote]
