The old "boomer" parties were even wilder.

Some girl's parents would leave for the weekend, and she'd quietly invite a friend or two over.

Somehow, word would get out, and 400 people would show up, with multiple kegs, and the place would get trashed.

That's not a boomer thing. It more or less happened to me too.

Fair 'nuff.

I wasn't even aware that they don't have them, anymore.

I think you need some sort of youth density for that. If you live in a low-density suburb where most people no longer have kids it's hard, even if you have a tool like the internet.

That is what she gets for having weak boundaries tho. And it is a thing that if you have seen, you will actively teach your kids to avoid - by saying no soom enough.

Teenage girls have a difficult time, saying no, and teenage boys have a difficult time, accepting "no." It sucks, but that's human nature. Being a teenager is clabbered misery.

I suspect that what they do, is have a hunk show up a couple of hours early, with a bottle of tequila.
