Party

<p>Alright guys, I have a tough question for all of you. I'm a senior and I want to throw a big end-of-the-year party at my house in a couple weeks. How do I get my family out of the house overnight? It's my mom, sister (16), and brother (14). My dad will be gone the weekend I want to throw the party. I already reccomended that they visit a college for my sister that weekend, but that didn't work. Any advice would be great, thanks!</p>

<p>ALL ideas are welcome. I'm really stuck, and I really want to have this party.</p>

<p>Tell your parents that you want to have a party, but you don't want them to be there, so it would be nice of them to leave the house that weekend.</p>

<p>Genius! Why didn't I think of that?</p>

<p>Tell them that family member/friend, X, died in state/country, Y, and that their funeral is soon. Say it's a trick when they get there and buy them rooms and passes to Disney Land/World (or any other fun place there).</p>

<p>Oh, I guess I forgot to mention that my parents aren't retarded.</p>

<p>Why don't you just have a party at a friend's house? Then you don't have to clean up the mess.</p>

<p>The brother and sister are easy but how are you supposed to kick your mom out of the house?</p>

<p>That would never work with me.</p>

<p>How much money do you have?</p>

<p>If I can't figure out a way to do it here, then I'll probably do it at a friend's house. But out of all my friends, my house would be the best place, and I just really want to do it here.</p>

<p>Recommend that your mother take a day off (overnight spa stay?), and that you'll watch the siblings. Then tell the siblings to arrange sleepovers/whatever with friends that night (easier for the girl, harder for the boy).</p>

<p>You'd have to have her trust, though...</p>

<p>Or, tell her that you want to try a night alone - y'know, preparing for college, responsibility, that crap. It's easier on the family if it's during a time that one person already has to go, so...</p>

<p>PrescitedEntity, those are both great ideas. Especially the one about a night alone to prepare for college- I like that. I think I might try it. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks!</p>

<p>Since you're a Dodger fan, are you from LA?</p>

<p>if you are, what high school do you go to?</p>

<p>Good luck! :D</p>

<p>Haha, I'm good at this kind of thing, eh? :p</p>
