Hi

I did not know what forum to put this on so I thought I would put it here because I know its a bonkers idea.

My daughter is making her communion and I have a couple of marquees in the garage. I asked my son to get some mates to help me put them up to see if any bits are missing.

It is his 15th birthday next month so he had the brainwave of leaving them up and having a party.

I said 30 people, he says 70, I say no drink, he says yes to no drink but I can't stop them drinking before they arrive.

I said invite only and no facebook, he agreed but his phone is hopping.

Do you know where I can get a bouncer in South Dublin? I do not need a fully qualified expensive one just someone who can be there as a preventative

Tell him to cop on.

30 means 30 tell the rest to go home. And don't let them in if you think they are tipsy.

Also...i am not a parent but unless I knew the kids and their parents...they would not be invited and not be allowed in.

Quite frankly your son sounds like the type of young man I would ENJOY saying no to. NO .... 'please?' NO NO NO NON NON NO NO NO

And if he moans too much NO PARTY

mwahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

yeah, you're not a parent though. Come back when you are. Perspectives tend to change.

You can't surely be that naive. 15 year olds are a dab hand at smuggling booze into parties. Is your kid going to search the hand bags of every girl looking for the naggin? Are you going to open and sniff every bottle of club orange or fanta that's been laced with rum? The ones that don't take this route will be busy necking the bacardi breezers or vodka/redbulls around the corner then showing up perfectly sober only to be paralytic an hour later and barfing all over your house.

Enjoy.

I went to a house party many years ago in Tallaght, in a fine 3 storey house a few mates were renting. And moving out the next day! Many many people turned up, with decks, strobes, the works.
I am not joking when i tell you all that was left of the house was the roof, the four walls and the floors. The stairs may have been repairable, but literally everything else was smashed to pieces.

I'd say it's probably cheaper to rent a hall and a dj for a few hours. What would that cost? A few hundred quid? Much better than the thousands worth of damage inflicted on your home.

Get a grip, seriously, and put the feckin' foot down. I'm closer to being a kid than to being a parent still (I bloody hope) and your son sounds like he has been allowed to develop a serious attitude problem.

Burn the marquee down and lob his cake in the bin and tell him he'll be getting a brick for his birthday. That'll sort him.

You need to tell him that because he thinks he is allowed an attitude like that, he's not allowed have a party at all. He can have a cake, 15 candles and his family for company.

But you won't, of course, because it got to the stage where you wanted to hire a bouncer to stop your friend's 14 YEAR OLD mates from getting too drunk.

Get a grip, seriously, and put the feckin' foot down.

she did. You're late, and it's history. Move on.

They hide them in more places than just the handbags. . The kid might not mind patting them down

Rocket19 · 26-04-2014 01:36AM

My dad hired two bouncers for a party I had 3 or 4 years ago.
I thought it seemed terribly pretentious to have them at the house, but we were glad we hired them in the end.

The two we hired worked in "burn" nightclub in Stillorgan (no idea what's even there now).

Can definitely be done, but I have no idea what it cost.

BTW your kid is way too young to be allowed drink at a party...

And madser post of the year goes to..

this thread is progressing nicely. At some stage, there will have to be a party, just for the lulz and to keep employment up for the challenged.

Not reading thread = public flogging. I'd be surprised if one of my 5,661 posts hasn't included those exact words.

My bad.

What is point in a teenage party with no drink?, sure how would you manage to a get shtinky finger at all.

:pac:

There really are some awful sanctimonious shi'tes in here. He's 15, about time he started drinking. I've always thought that we should have the same law as the Dutch, where kids of 16 can buy beer from an offy (no spirits). A kid who wants cans is going to get cans, why not just let them. A few cans in the field or out the back sheds is what being young is about.

Hire an off-duty police officer for a couple of hours.

Drinking at 15 is fine, young kids need to build up their resistance to alcohol. There is no need for bouncers. :pac:

100% true. Anyone who has drank with 18- 20 year olds who come from countries with no tradition of underage drunkeness can attest to how easily wrecked these people get by only properly hitting the sauce after 18.

I disagree at 15/16 most people don't have the maturity to deal with drink and it's effects granted there are 40 year olds out there who behave like gob****es when they're drunk but laws are made for a reason and you can't teach a teenager that he can pick and choose what laws he wants to obey

I will be here with the support of other mothers but the teenagers tower above us, I was thinking a big tall man they would be afraid of plus the fact there were adults around.

I trust my son and his friends, it is the other 230 that arrived at Stavros Murphy's house I am worried about, we are re- negotiating here

Get 6 of the biggest Dads associated with your kids group of friends to be on duty the night of the party.

If my kid was attending a party, I'd be happy to oblige.

(I'm 6'3" and well built. You'd need 6 of me!!!)

EDIT: Just scrolling through the thread, Stavros has experience and is taller/bigger than me. You need 6 of him!

The hiring a hall/hotel or whatever is waay preferable, but a thought suddenly struck me - if the feckers thrashed that, who foots that bill?

This is my plan. Never a party will be held in the house for my kid or any future kids I might have.

So far it's the roll and ball for my toddler. Imagine 10 or so toddlers hopped up on E numbers running around the house :eek:

Far worse than any teenage party :P
