[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing for the permissive parent set, and frankly why we specifically avoided applying to high schools for our kids where this attitude seemed to be prevalent. It's a form of peer perssure for the parents. So if I don't allow my kids to go to your party where you are providing alcohol it means I will be perceived as a meanie, and my kids will be affected because they can't hang out with their friends. I don't want to be put in that situation. And I don't buy the whole "well in Europe kids learn to drink more responsibly" stuff because in fact the rate of alcoholism and binge drinking is higher in many Europena countries.[/quote] Britain yes, lots of binge drinking. But I'd say no for France and some of the Mediterranean and Scandinavian countries. I'm going to guess that there are permissive parents at every school. It probably depends more with your kid's classmates' families, from year to year.[/quote]
