You do realize these are legal adults, right? Some of you are such freaks

Maybe they are but I wouldn't want to be held responsible for these legal adults dumb decisions when their litigious parents come after me. So I would say no unless I planned to be there.

There is no vicarious or host liability for 18 year olds in most states. They are considered legal adults. The only exceptions would be if the host served alcohol

HS seniors aren't all 18. I would assume some 17 yr olds would be there. And still, this would never stop litigious parents for finding some way to blame the homeowners. Pass.

Follow the thread. Yes, 18

Some of you are so naive. Other kids can crash, some might bring alcohol with them, drugs, or any other illegal things might be happening. But sure, be the cool parents!

Oh my gosh, this is a huge liability. I can’t believe you would agree to this. If any of these kids is drinking while skiing and gets hurt – and they can prove they got it from your place. You are royally effed.

Have fun ?

I allowed my daughter to go for a ski weekend out of state with a group of friends in HS. The parents were there and were great communicating with us. Lots of complications w travel Our biggest fear was injury on the slopes and as I recall one of the friend group did get a ski patrol ride to the hospital. Families all assumed risk and the parents were very good about keeping us informed every day at the end of the day. There was no drinking we knew of and they only took uber into town or parents drove/dropped them off

How many kids? If you are there sounds fine. It sounded like they were all driving to your country house unsupervised from the initial post.

Not OP, but why? If this exact same friend group's other families have hosted similar weekends without incident, and OP knows all the boys, why in the world would OP be nuts to consider it? What is so crazy about your kids' social groups that you feel this way and how does it apply to OP?

But if they were girls, I would be more likely to be able to trust them.
My DD is 17 and she’d be responsible in this situation.

Okay. My kids are only 13 and 15 right now, so hard to be sure, but my guess is, down the road, I would trust DS and hid friends in this situation more than DD and her friends. OP obviously seems okay with it. She is looking for rules.

Here we go again with the typical DCUM misandry. I seriously hope you don't have any sons who have undoubtedly internalized this by now.

You're nuts to even consider this.

BTDT with a beach house, and I insist on being there. I let them do their thing, but no way am I giving them unsupervised reign over everything.

All boys, 18, good kids that we've known for a number of years, but still... boys. We are pretty much the only family that hasn't hosted anything social among the group (our main house is the smallest of dc's friends!) so I would like to find a way to do this. We will be there but in a connected part of the house with a separate entrance (dc and friends would be in the mother in law unit). What rules should I impose other than no drinking!

Ok, it's a plus that you already know them and there are no obvious troublemakers in the group and no totally unknown kids. But you still haven't said whether once they're up at your house, will the be driving anywere local to that house, like ski slopes or out to eat/hear music? No drugs or alcohol is the most basic obvious rule, but it's one thing if they'll pretty much just be in your house the entire time, vs. driving themselves to and from places while there.
