Here the 10 insane thoughts moms have when their teenager invites friends over.

1. So is this a party… or a few friends? “I agreed on a few friends. This better not be a party.”

2. I shouldn’t have said OK. “This will not be OK. Is it too late to cancel? I still have a few days…”

3. Will it be awkward if I stay the whole time? “Will I have to go upstairs on the day of the party? I mean, I can’t leave them unsupervised.”

4. Do I have to plan activities? “Do teenagers even still play games?”

5. It’s going to be loud. It’s going to be SO loud. “Should I warn the neighbors?”

6. Must make a mental note to go grocery shopping…“Do they all eat as much as my kid?”
7. What if I don’t have enough food? “Is it ~even~ possible to actually have enough food?!”

8. Are there going to be boys and girls at this party? “Because I cannot handle that.”

9. Do kids today still play Spin the Bottle? “There will be no kissing in my house.”

10. What about the cat? “He’s NOT going to like all these people in the house…”

11. They’re going to trash my house. I know they are. “Hopefully there will be one polite kid who will help clean up…”

12. Is it too late for me to run away? “Can’t it just be over?”
