Well, I thought things were going to be okay for a while. But I am reminded tonight that we have TWO teenagers in the house. Which means we REALLY don't know anything and we are the WORST parents in the world who NEVER let our kids do ANYTHING!
Tonight, our 17 year old son came upstairs and asked if he could go to a concert next week. We asked what we THOUGHT were typical parent questions:
1. Where is it?
2. When is it?
3. Who are you going with?
4. Who is playing in this concert?
Are we wrong for asking these questions?
So we get partial answers. It's in Colorado Springs on a Tuesday night at 7:30 at a bar. Of course we'll let our 17 year old son go! We'd be the worst parents in the world if we said no, since ALL of his friends can go. ha ha, NOT! We then got on the Internet to look up this "venue". As Jason looked into things, in the comments was one comment that went something like this:
Great place to get crack and find some hookers in the parking lot. Well, duh, of course we'll let him go! NOT! So of course he got extremely angry and asked why. So we proceeded to tell him it is a parents job to ask these questions and protect our children. We then asked if he was in our position if he would let his kids go. OF COURSE HE WOULD! UGH! I need a super duper LONG mom cry, and then a vacation, far, far away! I want to give up!
