What's the 'wildest' thing you did as a teen on your parents?

[DockerDre]

For me, it was always when my grandmother was staying over and my parents were away.

On one occasion, I snuck out to meet a boyfriend. Wild thing that I was. My grandmother was asleep.

On another occasion, I had a full on house party.
I suppose 20 or 30 of us. Smoking, drinking etc. Nobody in our house smoked and myself and my best friend spent about 3 hours the next day with windows wide open in all rooms and cleaned the place from top to bottom. My mother (the sniffer dog) never suspected a thing. My Dad had bought the alcohol for that party and knew I was going to be having it (18)!

What my mother did notice though was that our gates had a dent in them. My friend had tried to drive our geep and managed to reverse it into the gates bending them. We then had to get our neighbour to drive it back to where it had been (neither of us could drive). My mother said the seat was pushed back lol, so someone had been driving it but I just said I knew nothing. I denied any knowledge of that until I was about 35.

In general terms I was a very good kid!

Had sex with my 14 year old boyfriend when I was 15. My mum used to say she loved how much she could trust me and that's why she allowed him in my room to listen to music and watch TV. Little did she know what we were really up to.

Stayed out all night at a bikers' party when I was 14 or 15 and then came home in the morning, having pretended to be staying over at a mate's house. Now that DC stay over with friends, I really hope they are not doing what I was doing.

Do you think it’s harder to trust your teenagers when you did a lot of sneaking around at their age?

When my friends had an empty house and were having parties I’d ask my parents to drop me off for a sleepover a couple of hours before the fun started so it was all quiet (and I had time to change.) Sometimes I’d be dropped at A’s house (where they thought I would be sleeping) and then we’d go off together to the party at B’s or collect her and go on to a party at a friend of a friend of an acquaintance’s house. Pre mobiles and tracking apps it was a lot easier to get away with.

Tbh not much! My mum went away when I was 18 but I knew she trusted me and she allowed me parties when she was around so I didn’t have any wild times in that respect.
Prob the worst thing was to smoke dope in my room and then burn incense to hide the smell. I was technically an adult by then. Not sure she really knew what weed smelled like tbh.
When I look back now with my adult/parenting eyes my mum was very permissive really as she said her mum let her have parties etc when she was younger (we are talking late teens early 20s here) so wanted the same for me I suppose. I didn’t feel need to rebel much and was also pretty ‘good’ (apart from the dope).

Bunked off school for the day with bff. Got on a train to London, went down a back ally and got pissed in a back street pub with a bunch of rugby lads. BFF hit her head on the sink when she collapsed in the loo's. God knows how it didn't end in disaster!

We were 14! . No one had a clue where we were.

Got other friend with grown up hand writing to write the absence letter the next day and I forged my mums signature.

If my dd15 did the same, I would kill her!

Um, thinking about my teen years I'd always considered that I was quite "good" since I was both academic and sporty, and I had after-school/ weekend/ holiday jobs and caused my parents no worries.

But they didn't know about the sex and drugs and rock and roll...

I hitch hiked with friends to gigs, drank & took drugs, went clubbing all night, went to illegal raves in fields etc
All from the age of 15/16 and my parents still don't have a clue and still talk about how 'good' I was
