It's definitely hard to miss all the people where I live pulling out of driveways in dresses and people taking pictures across all the public areas, it really lets you know it's prom time.

What's your experience with prom (or multiple proms if you went to others too)? How did everyone look? How was it celebrated? Was it good?

Yes--although the ticket prices for her school have always been reasonable, so it's not as big a perk as it would be in some places. The free meals, however, have reliably been incredible and well worth the headache of chaperoning.

We've been very fortunate to have never had any "incidents"--most of the kids appeae willing to save their drinking and debauchery for after prom--but it's always a real worry that the next morning we'll read about one of her kids drunk driving his car into a tree.

As someone who lives somewhere where the drinking age is 21, I often forget this is a thing.
