I agree! Why be so mean about everything just because the child has many more options then we ever did at their age. I do not want my child to grow up with no memories just having fun and doing something so grand in their eyes and such nonsense in ours. 14 year old girls out with a parent at midnight or later is nothing to be so horrified about. The HP parties are fun and always at midnight. Not many over 14 will get as excited about it as they will so have some fun!
