My kids have gone to proms with a huge group of friends. Sometimes with a date even. But, it has been seen just as a party. Not any of the prom craziness. [/quote]

Do you really "not allow" the kids to do this or do they just choose not to? This is a weird thing to claim as a cultural family value.[/quote]

Both.  I find it very odd that it is treated with such importance by some kids and their moms. It is insane. You are going to school for a party with your classmates. There is no need to treat this like your kid is getting married.

Again, what you see on social media is not reality. I am 50 and was born in the US and have been here my whole life and raised 3 children here and have never known anyone personally who has done or received an actual “promposal” the way you are describing it. Again, this is a stereotypical thing that is not actually reality. Of course you see the instances on social media of the extremely few who have actually done it. [/quote]
