I predict a thread approximately 9 months from now where Crusty is asking the OP advice on baby sitting a grandchild while lil Crusty is at his senior prom.

As if these people didn't go to house parties in high school.

You shouldn't have made the kids leave. Answer the door and tell the police that you are aware of no underage drinking, do not condone it, and have not supplied any alcohol. Say they cannot come in because you said so. They can do no more. With that ask if there are any further questions, and then tell them have a good day and go about your day.

If this was your house, what would you do?


What I would do is have my kid organize it to where there are as few cars as possible by my house, and try to get some of my own friends to help me out with transportation within the neighborhood. I would then tell my neighbors that there would be a party at my place that night and to give me a call at a certain number if they were too noisy. Then once the party started, I would take everyone's keys, and they wouldn't be able to retrieve them until at least 8:00 in the morning. That's completely how you do it, no debate needed.

That's right, he's drinking with you and his friends.

He, or she, walked next door. Now that everything is over, it looks like that was a good call as nothing came of it.

Chicken shite? He, or she, didn't know what to do so they walked to the neighbors to ask them for their opinion.

Tell me Dorothy why talking to the police and possibly getting charged was a better option for them. You seem to know it all.




Getting arrested builds character and fear. I wouldn't worry that much about it.

You don't need legal advice, you need parenting advice.

It takes a special kind of idiotic coward to run away and stick a bunch of drunk kids behind the wheel after allowing them to get drunk, because they're scared of the cops. The dead people who could have resulted from it would be a lot bigger legal issue than contributing could ever dream of being. I'm sure there are reasons why the cops got called rather than the neighbor personally asking to shut it down.

Trashy.

lol Because his son is 17 and was drinking at a party he is destined to have a kid before he graduates HS? Jeez I swear some of you guys would make the puritans look like wild party animals.

On the one hand many posters act like they are OT ballers and nothing bothers them and they are all bad arse and all that.

Yet on the other hand, they are uncertain how to properly help young people socialize and learn to properly drink.

I am not condoning underage drinking, but I realize that it happens. Drinking and driving is also a very serious issue, but there are ways that these issues can be handled somewhere between being too prudent and being too stupid.

Yes there are ways to handle it. Hearing the cops were called and telling everyone who had been drinking to grab their cars and scatter is not one

The good news for me is I'll never have to worry about this, because I'm not dumb enough to let 30 teenagers over to my house for underage drinking. "But I'd rather them do it supervised than go out on their own and be unsafe". That's just lazy arse parenting to the point that you didn't instill good decisions into your kid. Yeah, kids are probably going to drink. But you are an idiot to think that if you let them do it at the house when you are there, that it is the only time they are doing it. They're still going to do it unsupervised as well. You have to hope you taught them to male intelligent decisions.

So is it worth the liability that can ruin your life? But you are the cool parent, so does it really matter, amirite?

Having an underage party with drinking ranks pretty high on then trashieness scale, not to mention liability and risk of having a pissed parent call the cops. Letting your kid go to one is up there as well.

It's a good way to end up in the newspaper though.

Welllll your a jack arse and terrible parent for starters. Being the cool parent usually gives your kid the green light to be a looser. My kids ever pull this kind of shite I'll kick their arse in front of the entire party. So, take the heat and go to jail because you deserve it sir!

I'd have the kids smoke meth before leaving so they'd be wide awake and alert on the drive home.

What happened to the good ol days of driving around and then getting the call about the random house party getting there having fun for 45 minutes then hear the cops are coming and having to roll out on your own? fricking kids.

Ok, here is the scenario...I'm at work (most likely browsing the OT) and my 17 year old calls and says that they want to go down to the neighbor's house (just a few houses down) because "so-n-so" is having some friends over to hang out at the pool. One of "so-n-so"'s parents will be there so do I mind if they go.

You tell your 17 year old kid that they can't go? Really? I am "trashy" because I let my kid go to their friend's house to hang out with their friends by the pool.

Wow. Some of you had shitty high school (and most likely college) experiences.

Where would you prefer your high school student to drink? I am not suggesting that anyone promotes it let alone condone it, but if you think your kids are not going to do it somewhere...it's been too long.

Let me guess...your kids are good kids and they would never do that, right?
