It's ds 16th birthday on Saturday. He is generally mature and well behaved and really hasn't given us many problems (so far). We couldn't decide what to do for his birthday. He doesn't really want to spend the evening with his parents and says an organised party in a hall is childish. We are allowing him to have his friends round to our house on Saturday night and myself, dh and dd are going to stay at my FILs. We have stressed to ds that this isn't a party, more of a 'gathering' and we are trusting him to make sure it doesn't get out of hand. We will only be 10minutes away and dh will drive by a few times during the night to check all is well. Do you think we are sensible in allowing this. As I said I do trust ds and feel it is important he knows this. What do you think??
