<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>hahahah...thats sort of sad that you have to get your parents out of the house for a party. Thank god my most families in my country are pretty much ok with alcohol and big parties hahaha as long as people act responsibly and don't lose control...</p>
<p>Party? LAN Party?!</p>
<p>haha no, not a LAN party. I was thinking more along the lines of the type of party megaman was talking about (and megaman, you don't know my parents.) Again, any advice would be greatly appreciated; I'm really stuck on ideas.</p>
<p>It's ok Chaos, you'll find someone who's right for you to LAN with. As for the OP, I suggest bribery to encourage them to stay at friends' houses.</p>
<p>ninja, that's actually a really good idea for the bro and sis, but what about my mom? She's the one that I really have to deal with.</p>
<p>Aw, man. :(</p>
<p>Haha choas, if I'm able to pull this off I'll invite you and show you what a real party is like. There will even be GIRLS there.</p>
<p>But first I have to figure out how to do it. C'mon, I know most of you on here are smart, help me out!</p>
<p>I suggest you tackle each one at a time. It will be almost impossible to get them all out of the house with the same thing-the only way to do that is just getting lucky. Dunno offhand how to deal with each; that depends on their schedules and activities and way to spend free time and stuff, but it is definitely manageable. Hope this helps good luck.</p>
<p>11111, that's a good point. I can easily get my brother and sister to stay over friends' houses, like chaos said. It's the matriarch that's the problem. I can't really think of something I could get her to do overnight alone. The college visit was my best idea, but they shot that down right away.</p>
<p>if they aren't already planning to be gone for that weekend, all hope is basically lost. Even if you get them to go, and it wasn't there original idea, that just increases the likelihood that they'll be home earlier than when they said...screwing your in the behind! I'd say find a friends house to do it at...or accept your loss.</p>
<p>I realize the odds are against me Smallz, but I refuse to give up this early. I have the perfect house for a party, I just have the worst parents for one. Keep the faith! I know someone out there will be able to help me.</p>
<p>Maybe if you give us a description of your parents it would help.
Would your parents be okay with leaving you alone in the first place?</p>
<p>Yes, that's not a problem.</p>
<p>You pretty much have only one shot for this to work because you already suggested a college visit for that weekend. If you suggest too many things she may become suspicious. Maybe plan a weekend getaway for her??</p>
<p>Is on mother's day weekend? Because then a weekend getaway thing would be perfect.</p>
<p>Bribe the siblings to suggest things to her too. But you'll have to come up with one thing that is your best shot or else she'll get suspicious.</p>
<p>Take a step back for a second. </p>
<p>Why do you want to throw this party? Want to become popular? Get someone's attention? </p>
<p>Don't get me wrong, I love parties. That said, I would NEVER throw a party at my house(my house isn't even nice either), there are so many negatives that heavily out weigh the positives. </p>
<p>I wouldn't do it unless you had a really good reason. </p>
<p>Also, if your parents aren't going to be going away for at least 2 days, then there is even more reason not to. You'll say the night of the party, "I'll clean up later", but either you won't or you'll be doing it by yourself. </p>
<p>Also, a tip, don't drink at your own party. People that throw parties generally don't actually enjoy it but instead worry most of the time.</p>
<p>If you want to have the party, then go ahead, I just don't want to see anyone get in trouble if they don't have to. Think about it before you actually go through with it.</p>
<p>Ahh the good old house party. If I had to give you advice, it would be don't even try it.</p>
<p>I had two at my house when my parents were gone last year. One worked out well. In the other one I got ****ed because people jacked my drinks, puked on the living room carpet, and were noisy to the point that the cops came. Thankfully I kicked everyone out (the last person left about 10 minutes before the police showed up). I thought I had done well concealing, but about a week later someone (probably my neighbors) told my parents about both parties.</p>
<p>Trust me, if you get caught it could ruin anywhere from a week to the whole summer for you depending on your parents. In my case I spent about a week on lockdown, repented and swore to my parents that I would never go near alcohol again. I was subsequently ungrounded, but then got caught by undercover alcohol agents buying alcohol the very next night. Absolutely KILLED my summer!</p>
