Where we live there is a town near by with a tradition of everyone going out on the street in fancy dress for new years eve. It starts out very family 'fun' and gets messier as the night goes on. My 14 year old son has been asking to go with his friends for the last couple of years and I have always said no. He's youngest in his year so a lot of his friends are 15.He is quite mature and is 6ft tall, but I am worried that he could get mistaken for being older and caught up in fighting. I know his friends will be drinking. My gut wants to not let him go, but at the same time I feel like he would have loads of fun with his friends and will resent me for not letting him go. Do I stick to my Victorian mumma stance, or loosen up and let him go out?!
