Honestly, this has always been my philosophy (perhaps minus the upper-decking ). I've been to some parties where the aftermath must have taken days to clean up... and there are always the fun ones where someone accidentally kicks a hole in a door or breaks the TV. Better to have someone else host ;D Yanno, I never thought about it, but neither have I. Weird!

Never had a party, never went to one. Well, in HS anyway. I went to two or three in college, and a couple after that. Never hosted though. Last party I went to I got chased home by some crazies that tried to run my car off the road. They quickly turned around when I pulled into the police station instead of continuing home. Hey we aren't talking about college. ;D Yes I went to quite a few parties in college although I was not a huge partier. The things I did when my parents were 350 miles away. I did host a couple. Never had the cops called on me. I did have the campus police stop and talk to my best friend and I was we made our way from one Frat house to another. We were moderately drunk, but at least we weren't carrying booze with us (and we were over 21). I was also stopped when my boyfriend and I were walking back to his house after a party, but we were actually both sober although I don't think the cop really believed us.

My parents even worked out of home, there was no being left home alone. They were the ones throwing the wild parties at our house.

I went to enough of those parties to know I didn't want one at my house. Things were always getting broken & drinks spilled. At one of my friends' houses a bunch of guy started smashing beer bottle in the pool. No way was I having to deal with that sort of cleanup or fall out. Let some other poor schmuck host the party.

I threw a couple, but never in my mom's house. I was that kid pressuring my friends into hosting at their place, then supplying the booze and getting the word out.

Our house was the party house for a good 5+ years. We even ended up with a band practicing in the basement. Luckily, things were not too badly damaged.

Me, and I was never so glad to have my parents come home early and unexpectedly. Turns out my then boyfriend let the word out and then when I would tell people they couldn't come in at the front door, he'd let them in the back. Needless to say, after I got royally chewed out, he wasn't allowed to see me anymore and I was even glad of that. What an a-hole. Now he's the principal of a Catholic high school and I'd love to give him grief about that!

when mom and dad were away? I used to do it all the time. I also went to a bunch. However, I knew enough to high tail it out of there when things were getting out of hand and the po po would be showing up. How about you? I never did that! You've never met my mother. I would not be here today.

I went to those parties but never had one. My step-sister had a gathering of kids at the house and my dad blew a gasket. Everyone ran out of the house when he pulled up. He saw my step-sister in the road and told her "Go home and prepare to get your ass kicked!"
It was much safer to go to parties at other houses. I can't imagine picking up after some of the parties I went to. One friend had a party where the po po did show up and some of the party guests let the air out of the squad car tires. ;D

DS told me about one of his friends who started laughing so hard in the police car that he peed in it.
