do you go in and out or leave them to it? Single sex and if they are yet drinking alcohol they are good at hiding that!

If it's teens i'd leave them to it and be blissful in my ignorance.

how old?

generally leave them alone otherwise tomorrow you'll get

"you're well embarrassing Mum"

or in my case

"you're sooooo gay"

(I do so love doing the going in with plates of home cooked brownies/ muffins etc) [evil Mum emoticon]

I'm always being told how embarassing I am, I just say that's what parents are for . I do go in to offer food/drink but am wondering if I should do even that less often. Both teens but young for their age.

I usually leave them to it unless they are being very noisy late at night and disturbubg everyone else.

Leave them to it unless they become annoyingly noisy then lay down the law.

well at 2.30 (a.m) I went and switched the lights out and told them to settle down. They were up again by 8.30 (but that may have been because I was too noisy !
