[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 91314"] Cannot agree with this. I know there are parties everywhere. Whether the upper class wealthy kids or the lower class poorer kids...there are parties. easy child is 24. I never ever even allowed him a "sip" of alcohol until he was of legal age. Never ever. While other parents were buying their children non alcoholic beer at social gatherings, weddings and such, we would not do so. Didn't want him to even have the taste for it. When he went somewhere..I did check on him. I would go to the park, to the pool to the concert. He was horrified to see me. I told him I WILL check on him and he will not know when. I will NOT allow him engage in that type of activity. If he had the car and was going to the movies or someones house..whatever, I would take the other car and drive by the house..go to the theater. He never knew when I would, or if I did. He was amazed at how I knew things. sometimes it was just his carelessness that enlightened me. Of course, once he left home and went to college I had no control over that. He joined a fraternity. So, now I hear that is pretty much a 24 x 7 party. When he was not at school, he did not touch alcohol. So..now at age 24 he is drinking every weekend. it drives me insane. I do not think he can do anything on the weekends without it revolving around a party or drinking. difficult child has asked to "try" a sip. Not going to happen. Not beer, not wine, nothing. He is much sneakier than easy child ever was. So, I am on my toes much more. He KNOWS I will check. He knows, I talk to his friends and sometimes the friends might slip up and say something. He KNOWS I will just hall him down for a drug/alcohol test. been there done that many times. Must add...all have come back clean. Every single one. Both urine tests and blood tests. I ALWAYS check on the kids. Where abouts, company that is there, time of day, activities. Always, Always. When I grew up there were parents who would allow the kids to drink at their house, under their supervison. Not my house. I do not personally know anyone who allows this now a days. Too much liability involved. [/QUOTE]
