Taking the consequences works fine if you're not responsible for anyone but yourself.

"Sorry kids, you aren't going to your friends parties or playing sports with them because my ideals conflict with your reality" is not a tenable position.

Not to worry your kids friends will share that they have a party. If you forbid your daughter from dating a guy they will find there way around that somehow.
