1am curfew. No alcohol if you are driving. Call me if you ever feel unsafe. Don’t take anything from anyone.

1) Nothing good happens after midnight 2) You must call me if you want to change locations 3) No riding with others (can't guarantee their sobriety) 4) Blame me for the "lame" rules and as an excuse to leave 5) I will ALWAYS pick you up no questions asked What you don't want is a kid who was so locked down in HS that they go nuts in College. Kids need some practice to make good decisions and guardrails when they make mistakes. Consequences are different once they are over 18!

I have two high schoolers. I offer as much freedom as possible. My parents were super strict and I rebelled

I am in this phase right now with my daughter! Besides the endless convos we’ve had about being safe, I also bought a breathalyzer- and absolutely no sleepovers on nights she is out at a party. The breathalyzer is to hold her accountable. I trust her until she gives me a reason not to and that’s where the breathalyzer comes in :)

Idk I have a son. The entire month of October there was a party on the weekends. I do not know whos throwing the parties or if parents are even home. I teach my son how to act and we talk openly about drinking and the dangers of getting into a car with someone drinking even 1 drink. Also I can see where he is all times on Life360. Idk this is what works for us 🤷🏻♀️

Don’t need to speak to parents. Speak to your kids about rules and what’s appropriate. They can go to parties unless they break said rules. No leaving to go anywhere else unless I’m aware. Also call me anytime you are uncomfortable and you won’t be out past 11 pm. Last one is a non-negotiable

Have you heard about the party app yet?😭 Apparently there’s an app that tells you where all the parties are! Meaning they don’t even know them😭 ya… times have changed.

Each level of parenthood brings on new anxiety 😂. You get through one stage and something new comes

1am curfew! I will sometimes drive him and his friends around. My son is usually the driver because he doesn’t drink. If he does decide to, then he knows to call me and I’ll pick up. Didn’t have to worry about this till he was 16. Life 360 is on. Portable chargers in pockets or car. My best advice is keep communication open. Be real! We did this same shit wayyy worse but there was no tracking or videos. They are going to do it either way. I would rather know and he be safe. Listen to them. Kids just want to be heard. Don’t say rules. Say boundaries and respect.

I was pretty wild when I was in high school and I know first hand, teens will do whatever they want and hide what they’re not supposed to do. With that, I’m pretty open with my teens. We just hosted an after party at our home after a homecoming dance. My daughter was open and said there will be people drinking. I clarified that I’m not providing any alcohol. She asked if both boys and girls that are drinking could sleep over, we agreed as we have extra space. I went to bed at 10pm and woke from noise every hour or two and then came out at 2am and talked to my daughter about winding down. I set up the air mattress and got bedding for some of the teens. They had a great time and ended up hanging until later the following day which was nice that they felt comfortable hanging with all the fam around. I didn’t have any parents check with me but I know the parents were asking their teens about details since we had both boys and girls sleeping over (in separate areas).

I say this as mine is a freshman... but you send them and hope you raised them well enough to make the right choices

Ms. Gnome :
We don’t do sleepovers after parties. I can pick up or she can drive if she promises no drinking. She can always call me. We have conversations about zero alcohol and driving, not getting into cars with those driving. I always clear my calendar if she’s at a party to be available. It really is such a stressful time for parents but also a very important stage for them to learn independence. The balance is very hard for me.
