<p>My S has gone twice now and spent the night at a friends house. Much to his annoyance I did call the Mom and verified that she would be home and talked about the kids and what they were doing.</p>
<p>We have had a couple of conversations about attending parties and the trouble available while at BS. His comment was “I know you would kill me if I was at a party where kids were drinking”. My comment was “No, you would lose your FA and that would mean you would have to finish your high school career here at home at the public school”.</p>
<p>His final word on the subject was “That would be worse than death”. I think we have an understanding!</p>
<p>Goaliedad- I love your advice to contact teachers at the school about some of the kids. I think you are right about how well they know the kids and the families. I will probably use your advice in the future if I need to.</p>
