When my difficult child was younger (and, as far as I knew at the time, not a difficult child), I made it a point to keep my home open to her friends at all times. We even installed an above-ground pool as a sort of kid-magnet. The funny thing is, her interests were mainly boys ...and she didn't want that gaggle-of-girls sleepovers that I'd had as a teen ...and hoped that she'd enjoy.
During high school, we were always the ones having the parties. When we had an exchange student, we had a sleepover with 23 girls (exchange students from various grades in the school) Mostly everyone had fun except difficult child, who turned it into a a soap opera.
And now - here she is at 21 and living at home. Her "friends" (mostly boyfriend and his friends) are in similar living situations.
And I don't want them here. I don't want to be the "fun" house anymore.
I just threw a group of them out because I want to go to bed. They are not happy and I really don't care. The thing is - I'm really strict on certain things. No underage drinking (I actually check ids), absolutely no drugs and nobody here (with the exception of one friend (girl) at a time) when I'm sleeping. Now -when I don't want them - they seem to want tocome here. Funny how that is.
