Sons friend being sick

[thekingfisher]

First time for me -16yo ds has some friends staying they went to a party and 1 friend has come back steaming drunk. He's been sick and now seems to want to just go to sleep - what do I do where do I put him. It's first time I've met him (today) and I can't send him home as he lives too far away (2hours).
Should I put him to bed in the bathroom. Desperately don't want to put him to bed in one of bedrooms - as he might be sick again ??? I've got to work amongst other things tomorrow

How's it going @thekingfisher?

No more 🤮 from the vomiter?

To be fair to the OP, she's done the right thing by the boy. He's drunk, was at no point unresponsive and had a vomit. Sadly not uncommon.

His parents are two hours away - she can contact them at first light. Nothing that's happened tonight is the OP's fault. In fact she's put herself out by staying up to check on the kids breathing and response to stimuli. A lot of people wouldn't have bothered.

You have just won massive mum points for this. Your son will be so pleased with you. -- I may have had similar happen when I was young..... although my parents were called... didn't collect me but I had to face both my friends parents in the morning (mortifying) and my parents too.

How are you doing OP?

I have been that child, poor you (and poor them tbf they are going to feel horrific today)

To be fair maybe the 17 year old's parents didn't know about the jaeger bombs? At that age I would've been sneaking all kinds of drink in to parties.

I'd say he'll be groaning in the sitting room soon with the light streaming in. Been up since 4 myself with pain so following your thread and the weeing bottom!!

Fair play for looking after him.

Impressed you handled it so well OP. I've had similar.
Agree that it's unlikely the the party parents served jagerbombs! Probably some kid snuck them in.

You’re far nicer than me.

I would have phoned the parents and told them that I was putting him in a cab to a halfway point an hour away and then they need to meet him to take him home.

Not the point of the thread but jagerbombs are not vodka.... its jagermeister and red bull.

Well done OP.

Do none of you moaners remember being a teenager? God I vomited many times from a much younger age than 16. Thankfully no one called my parents, just gave me a bucket and checked I was still alive occasionally.
I'm expecting to do the same when DD is a teenager tbh.

All
Still quiet here - have managed to doze a bit.
All the teens call them jaeberbombs these days - I was confused because I knew them in my youth as jaegermister.....
We are quite rural and he lives rurally there would not have been a taxi available to take him.
He was at no point was unconscious. I panicked a bit as I'm on my own and it is a responsibility. I'm now cross as I did give them a bit of a warning about coming back drunk and fed them spaghetti Bol to soak up alcohol. I am knackered now and going to snooze a bit longer. Thanks for all the comments they were all helpful and kept me company !

Ahhh I've done the all night vigil a few times with my DCs and various random friends. Its a pain but the advice you were given was what I would do.

I hope he feels suitably rotten.

Well done on getting a bit of rest. X

So sorry made them all get up about 20 mins ago and started vacuuming in the sitting room where pukey Pete was - he didn't rouse so I shook him -- he's now stumbled to shower.
I've had a massive sense of humour failure now as have a horrid sleep deprivation headache - we are off to festival tomorrow and need to do all packing sorting etc and ds has just announced he's twisted his ankle so about zero helps from him (this was proviso of me hosting everyone)

And they've eaten all the fucking bread

thekingfisher are you going to Latitude? Have a great time. My DSS has done this many times and it really annoys me, bringing home pissed friends . He has left home now so I don't have to see it. I wish they would drink a bit more responsibly. FWIW I think you did all the right things

Yes off to latitude although idea of being around more pissed teens isn't that attractive atm

Oh and apparently the hosts did serve the drinks as they ran out of beer at 11..... honestly some parents.... but boys are idiots too

You are a heroine OP. PukeyPete and his perishing parents really owe you. Hope you have a great time at Latitude. Say hello to my next-door neighbours

thekingfisher I guessed as we are bracing ourselves here for the traffic and other disruption Thursday/Friday will bring! We live in Southwold and will enjoy hearing the music and not having to cope with the crowds. Henham Park is lovely. From what I hear from those who do go up to Latitude, it's quite family oriented so not too many drunken youths!

thanks sooverthemill I am looking forward to it although just hoped Id have had more sleep - boys now gone - they had the good sense to phone for a taxi to get them to the station rather than asking me - gave them a blocking for taking the piss / lack of respect/ irresponsible drinking. They were all so apologetic and sheepish and sorry it was hard to be too cross - however I am feeling shocking !!!! have to collect giant motorhome later and could do with being fully conscious!!

I think you handled it well.
If anything, it shows your sons that no matter how angry you are/how stupid they have been, you will help them out. Vital for teenage boys to know they can count on their mums.

Major brownie points for opening post with street cred.

The other boys will think she's cool for not 'dobbing' pissed Pete in!

Is the only good bit here!

Well done on getting the vacuum out!! I’m proud of you for that. It’s crap to go to a festival on a sleep deficit but since yr not camping hopefully you’ll make it up. Enjoy Latitude x
