To let DD14 have party in house while we're out?

[DrunkenDaisy]

It's her birthday. She is, (raging hormones aside), a lovely, responsible girl. In a moment of weakness, I said she could have her friends over on Saturday night and me and DH would go out. This has now turned into a 'party'. She keeps refering to how excited she is about her 'party'.

As far as I know, just a handful of girls and boys will be coming over. But who knows what will happen. Am I mad? Your experiences please?

well i hope its quick these pesky night feeds do tend to end ones mumsnetting sessions very early on these days < sits back and waits for some advice on that from a young person>

well, FR, I guess all I can is my 16 yo will not be allowed a house party

and that's all that matters really, isn't it ?

all I can say

Why is a sixteen year old on mumsnet at this hour? Let's just say I stumbled onto AIBU a few days ago and got hooked on some of the hilarious threads I found and since then have been lurking. I was about to go to bed when I found this, and due to the very recent circumstance of my party, felt the need to comment.

FR...do you have any advice on breastfeeding for ledkr ?

she is in need of some wise words

yep, and I am Katie Price's ex husband

16 isn't a young adult, that would be an eighteen or nineteen year-old. And while it is perfectly valid that a parent may know their own child enough to consider them responsible, I think it would be foolish to assume the same thing of all their acquaintances.

We do get articulate teenagers on here from time to time. They generally turn out to be the same middle-aged man though.

I really am Katie Price's ex husband, btw

I'm terribly sorry, but I have no expirience with breast feeding and so perhaps you are better off asking the Breat Feeding Trust? :)

Good answer

Clever use of mis-spellings too ..

Wow, I've just been called a middle aged man. Nice. I'll take the comment on my articulate manner of writing as a complement (A* in GCSE English Literature)

I trusted my friends. I didn't post about my party on Facebook (for I am an old gimmer and such a thing did not exist). Unfortunately it turned out that one of my friends had a thing for a guy in a pub so invited him to my party. And as detailed up thread he pissed on the doorstep and smashed windows.

These things can go tits up no matter how responsible you are if you invite more than your very closest friends. I'd guess that after about 8 people you're not fully in control at that age.

Mary, telling the truth isn't boasting

here, feel my pecs...are they not real ?

Nobody has called you anything, FR. I am merely observing a general trend. They do all have excellent academic results too, funnily enough. Often a bit older, pregnant and Oxbridge-bound etc., but there have been Extended variations.

yes, it is very fick, mary, you are correct

Sucks, I wish I was Oxbridge bound. If you do get people like that, I wonder what makes them feel the need to lie to strangers in anonymous forums?

bof how do you know this what have i missed?Is it late at night when i am slumbering?Is it pregnant old men?Am i confused?

Are you saying FR may not be what he claims to be?

Sorry, "may not be what she claims to be?"

It's that bloke Steve, ledkr. He likes to pretend to be an intelligent young person struggling to overcome adversity. It's either trying out a character for the novel he wants to write, or resolving some deep personal issues, I think. Who can tell? I always wonder if he's the same bloke as the one who used to work from home with the slow-burning prostate-massager up his hoo-ha. Probably.
