[quote=Anonymous]I think you're overreacting.

I'd also suggest stuff like this is going to happen more often.

My 14 year old was invited over to a friends house to watch a movie. No big deal.

I pick her up, and they have their backyard decked out. An outdoor movie screen with a movie playing on it, a couple fire pits in other parts of the yard, tubs of popcorn, smores, and a backyard full of like 20 teens. I had assumed it was going to be a few girls in a basement. For them, it wasn't even a "party-party" it was "just a few friends over to see a movie." These parents are just great at the social scene and the thought of have a couple dozen kids over to watch movies in the backyard doesn't strike them as anything more than a couple kids over to watch movies in the basement would to me. (I was probably rude when I commented to the dad that I'd never want that many kids in my backyard, and he just laughed and said they love having the kids over and do these all the time. He wasn't lying - my kid's been invited over pretty much every weekend "to watch a movie.")

For you, makeovers would have been more little kid. This parent had access to something better, and I'm sure the kids loved it. Rather than just serve sodas, make them fun! Soft drinks (not just soda) can be fancy just like adult mixed drinks. You can't look at it like an adult, but like a kid.[/quote]
