It’s moreso that kids go to college at 17/18, they’re suddenly out from under their mom’s thumb & go wild.
That’s a myth.
Not evidence that kids who drink in HS are less “wild” than those who start in college.
Lol no.

No unsupervised hangouts. Movies & and walking around the mall on a Friday night with mom & dad.
Bwhahahaha. Let us know how that works out for you. Your kid will be the one going crazy in college. If you let them out of the house to go that is.

Alcohol is fun. So is sex.
Sad if kids don’t know how to have fun without it.

Oh they're going to love that . . .
Trying to be your child’s friend?
They need actual parents with the guts to say no.
So that means stalking them?
No. Why do you think that?

Not pp but if hanging out with my kid on a Friday nights means they’re not out drinking who knows where, so be it!
