If you really must call it a night, get a Shrek mask, burst into the room and yell "IT'S ALL OGRE NOW!"

Followed by "GET OUT OF MY SWAMP!".

They would love that music....most of the lads are into heavy metal.

Have called it a night but now have to drop 4 of them home coz no taxis at this hour during the week in this crappy town. A lot more are staying over than originally planned including some girls. Am not happy.

My son will not be getting party privileges again in a hurry.

Do people usually tell the Internet this much information? I just couldn't.

If you were in your sons place and having the laugh with your friends would you want your mother coming in and putting a stop to it? Leave them off, it's not like it happens often and when they have other parties at other parents houses and those parents stop it they'll all think back to how you were sound enough to not do that. If they're making too much noise and keeping you awake when you go to sleep then send your son a text and ask him to turn off the music but that they can keep going if they want.

Edit: well I guess that's that

They're 17. Do you want to be their friend? Bit clueless there bud. As someone else pointed out, half the little bollockses will be ralphing away. Will look great when mum rolls up to collect them with spittle drooling down the chin and the noxious smell of puke and fart fragranceing the air

Dropped first batch off. On way with last one now.

Strike? Aren't they nearly always on Holiday or some mid-term break?

BetterThanThou · 22-01-2015 04:42AM

Your son and his friends were most likely on ecstasy, deal with it.

Witchie · 22-01-2015 05:06AM

There is some mess for my son to clean tomorrow, just hope he goes to bed soon so he is not too hungover to do it.

I had made only a few rules and one of them was that no girls were to stay and another was that no one was to go to the rooms on the top floor. Both rules have been broken so not a happy bunny. Scared that one of the young ones will get pregnant.

Join the party, put on some Toto and dance while saying some buzzwords like "radical" and "gnarly grooves", you'll kill the mood and they'll want to leave pronto :cool:

At least that's what happens when I go to parties

You and I should hang out sometime.

lulu1 · 23-01-2015 12:56AM

Get yourself a toyboy from the group.

Witchie · 23-01-2015 01:15AM

God no Shruikan......my elder son's friends maybe coz would only be a 21 year age gap but 25 is too much!

aw there was no harm done other than me not sleeping a wink coz was worrying about them all but everyone was safe and sound and well behaved so can't ask for much more.

The more you post, the more I worry that you are not only a pushover but can't see through to the consequences. Have the parents agreed to the girls staying over? Are you making sure no shenanigans? Are you sure all the girls are 17 or over - remember Juliet commits no crime but Romeo does in this enlightened country.

PizzamanIRL · 23-01-2015 01:43AM

You know we rode in your bed when you dropped the other lads home? Our plan worked.

The girls were all over 17 and no crimes were committed.

You should read the personal hygiene thread.

No spirits, no girls, and no upstairs rules all broken. I'm not having a go, just think you need to talk to your son and tell him you trusted him to ensure these rules were kept. And I hope he tidied up.

The onus would be on you if anything got out of hand. You can only account for those invited, the add ons would make me feel uneasy. Its a difficult age. In a hurry to grow up, but not quite pub legal yet. Just be sure your leniency and trust aren't being abused.

Oh believe me we had a talk about it today. He has the house spotless again and has changed and washed all the bed clothes. I told him he won't be having another party.

Girls were allowed but didn't want them staying over and bar storming into a room and dragging them out to the car I couldn't really do anything about it.

In general, for a party of young ones they were so well behaved. Not even a bottle was broken and they were all very polite and sweet. Just not happy about the rules being broken.

Ah, I wouldn't be so quick to go down the NO PARTIIIIIEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS route.

As you said, polite, well mannered, and when you said to kill it, they killed it. Yes, the no girls rule was broken, as was the no spirits, they're of that age.

I might relent sometime but at the moment he knows he has his hind legs and tail in the doghouse.

This is a mute point now, I know...... But, wouldn't an authoritative "No, unfortunately you can't stay over ladies. I'm happy to drop you home" be enough to shift them? Or would they argue back with you, or what.....??

I have very limited experience of today's teenagers.....

Witchie · 23-01-2015 06:29PM

I didn't know they were staying over until they were already gone to bed and was a bit afraid of busting into the room and seeing something I wouldn't want to see if am honest, but also thought there was no point in locking the stable door after the horse had bolted.

As a mother of teenagers I would have made certain sure that I knew where they were sleeping and would have looked into every room and if by chance I did see something that i didnt want to see those concerned would have been out of the room quicker than you could say bare arse. And another thing I would make them call their parents to collect them.
Op I think you are burying your head in the sand here.

Ps I said in an earlier post that I would let them have their fun but this was before the rules were broken

Do I call a halt?
