She Refused To Let Her Friend’s Kids Attend Her Halloween Party Because She Didn’t Want Teens Mixed In With The Rest Of The Adults
For Halloween this year, this 34-year-old woman and her boyfriend, also 34, are planning to host a party.
Her boyfriend owns a business, so they planned to have the party in his business’ parking lot.
They’re going to have a ten set up, as well as a dance floor.
She and her boyfriend both live with their parents. She currently lives one hour from the county that her boyfriend lives in.
They decided to host the party at her boyfriend’s business because she is originally from the county he’s living in, and that is where most of her friend group still lives. Plus, most of her friends wouldn’t be willing to make the trip to her house for the party since it’s an hour away from them.
The guests will mostly include just her friends because the majority of her boyfriend’s friends have either moved away or, tragically, passed away.
For the party, she and her boyfriend hired a bartender to serve drinks to the guests, and they have a ton of fun Halloween-themed games that they purchased.
In total, there will be about 20 to 30 guests that will be attending. One of her friends is flying from another state so that she can come, and another is driving for 12 hours.
Her friend, 39, lives in a different state with her two sons, who are 18 and 16.

All of the invited guests are adults, and she does not want any teenagers attending her party.
“My friend asked me if the party is family-friendly. I told her it was an adult party. She tried to convince me her teenage sons are grown enough for an adult party,” she said.
She has been introduced to her friend’s children, and she does acknowledge that they have a lot of maturity for how old they are in regard to being responsible and having manners; however, they are still in a teenage state of mind.
“They’re well-behaved, though very innocent and a bit naive. I told my friend I thought having teens at a party would throw the vibe off, and she seemed to be offended,” she explained.
“She said, ‘Why are you calling them teens like they are 12?’ and said, ‘Why would they throw off the vibe? You think they’re loud, obnoxious children?'”
Her friend continued, arguing that she believed her children had the right to join in on the festivities. But she responded by telling her friend she didn’t think they were old enough for this kind of party, which her friend disagreed with.
Then, her friend told her that since she would have to spend $600 to travel out of state with her children, she wouldn’t have the money to book an Airbnb. She said she needed to have a place to stay if she attended the party.
“I told her my mom would let her stay at our house, but not the kids, because my mom wouldn’t want that many people staying at her house. She said she would respect my decision and just not go to my party,” she shared.
After their discussion, she relayed what happened to her boyfriend. He told her that it would have been fine with him if her friend’s children attended the party.
She expressed to her boyfriend that she was concerned that if she allowed her friend’s children to come, her friends would ask her why they were there in the first place.
In addition to that, she thought it was possible that children being present would cause her friends to feel like they couldn’t fully relax or have a good time. After she provided her perspective, her boyfriend told her that her views made sense.
Even though she didn’t want to invite her friend’s children, she did acknowledge that the children had met two of her friends who would be coming to the party, so there was the possibility that these two friends could socialize with them.
While in her teenage years, she never attended parties where only adults were present. The first party she ever went to was when she was 22-years-old, and there weren’t any teenagers there.
As an adult, she’s also never gone to a party where teenagers were around. In her view, it would be strange for teens to be at her party.
