[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][/quote]I agree that an 18 year old is responsible for their actions (some kids at the party will be 17).  Police intervention will sweep up everyone including those who are 'innocent.'  I would discourage my kid an err on the side of caution. [/quote]

IMO, it isn't wise to force your kid to skip. If after a discussion, they realize it might be unwise, then great. But precluding attendance may foster animosity.[/quote]And there will be more animosity if they get caught up in police action.  Difficult decision whether to attend.  So much to lose.  So much to experience.  The final decision for an 18-year old will be is it worth it?  Maybe stay for awhile then leave when things start getting out of hand.

No way is renting a house for a weekend leading to a campfire singing Kumbaya.[/quote]

Wow, worrying about your kid being grouchy at you for you being a parent and trying to keep them from illegal underage drinking explicitly warned against by the school they still attend?  I find the enabling tone of some of these posts pretty startling, and think there is a lot of hypocrisy around in terms of what people think/want/expect from schools by way of character education and discipline.

In the vein of "physician, heal thyself," how about "parents, parent thy offspring."[/quote]

Agree. What message are you sending to your kid if the principal, headmaster, whatever sends an email to all parents saying "Don't let your kid go to this" and then you let them go?? I don't care if my kids feel animosity towards me for enforcing rules and laws. This is why these parties happen. No one says no to their kids.[b] Is Malia going? I doubt it[/b].[/quote]

:shock:  :lol: [/quote]

Malia is traveling to Chicago and the West Coast with her father; so no. [/quote]
