Boys who hate proms

If you’re in a serious and/or committed relationship OR have a good friend or group to attend with, proms can be nice/fun. If you don’t enjoy such events, there is really no reason you should feel compelled to attend. My kids so far have not shown great interest in such events–hubby & I aren’t all that fond of similar “adult” functions, so we sympathize. Others LOVE getting decked out & “being seen” & “seeing who shows,” several of my sibs among those others.

I attended more than my share of proms & banquets. They were OK (some see it as Kodak moments or some sort of “trophy” to see how many you can attend), but honestly I enjoyed playing cards, camping, hiking & trips far more than any proms or banquets. We’re all different.
