So tomorrow night my DS is having a joint party between four of them. They are turning 15.

We are lucky enough to live in an old farmhouse which has a kind of 'games room' at one end, with a bathroom and kitchen area, separate from the main house. The party will be in there.

We are removing almost everything from the room Grin and I am providing my ds with his own couple of bottles of pear cider, but am not providing any other alcohol than that. It is then up to the other parents what drinks they will allow their dc to bring.

I am aware that they may sneak in more alcohol. I am prepared for it I think

Any tips, words of wisdom, experience of such things gratefully received!

I'd say stay stone cold sober yourselves. You are going to need your wits about you, OP!

MayhemandMadness · 14/05/2016 20:31

Just water stuff down as and when you can.

You're either brave or crazy I can't tell which 😆 I reckon you'll end up with close to 100 teens in the end...

Reading this has taken me back to the house parties of my secondary school days. I would take a couple of bottles of K cider and only need to drink one before I was trollied Grin

Thanks for the reminder OP. Hope all is going as smoothly as possible.
