[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 540304, member: 59"] This is what I think. It has nothing to do with your house. It has everything to do with the amount of monitoring you will be doing vs. the amount of freedom they have at other houses. I am speaking from experience here, those bonfire are not just sit around the fire and tell camp stories fire. Starting at about age 14 difficult child went to bonfires all the time. She came home smellig horrible fromt he wood smoke so I couldn't detect that she was smoking pot but that's what was going on. There was also a lot of drinking going on. In the early years it was just beer but as she got older the drinks were harder and so were the drugs, usually pills mixed with alcohol. It got to the point where I hated bonfires. Nothing good ever came out of them. It stunk up her clothes and hair and our house and she burned things and she started sleeping over she said because they were having a sleepover, it really was because they were all drunk or high. It's my experience also that if they don't want you to meet their friends it's because they know you won't approve. My easy child loved having her friends over our house and her friends love coming here. To this day some of them still call me their second mom. In contrast difficult child never brought her friends over and her friends didn't even have last names. I hope that's not the case but I agree you should stick to having the bonfires at your house so you can monitor what goes on. Nancy [/QUOTE]
