[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you out of your mind? Or living in some alternate reality where teens do not drink, smoke weed, and have sex left and right?
That is what it means to be the hangout house for teens!
Good luck with the lawsuits, cool mom![/quote]

Disagree.  You can still be the hangout house for clean activities.  And yes, they will find the hang out houses for those other things, no denying that.  Our house was the hang out house for most of middle school for our kids.  But we did not let them knowingly drink or do anything illegal (as much as we could control) during high school because my husband owns a business in our community.  They all come back now after they are 21 to hang with us.  They understood then and now, (I think) that we were protecting our livelihood.  So you can still be reasonable and be a hang out house.

Also, my 2 cents but I think the hang out houses ended up being houses with multiple kids, we had 4 or very welcoming.  I think parents of multiple kids just end up being more laid back about many things because it's usually organized chaos haha. So you probably don't need to have a lot of kids or a huge house but have a fun house, with some structure and flexibility.  [/quote]

Usually with 4 you tend not to parent and the kids run wild.[/quote]
