"Our eldest child constantly reminds us that there has been a gradual liberalisation of all household rules over the years"
"Learning how to host a soiree is an important life skill, one which needs to be taught from a young age. Understanding logistics, catering, mixology, crowd control, and even playing automotive Tetris by trying to guide 15 cars into a driveway design for two are all things I learned from my parents' soirees."
"Back in the 1980s, house parties were a common occurrence, except they were known as The Stations."
Eldest child notices a gradual liberalisation of household rules over the years. Hosting a soiree is presented as an important life skill that should be learned from a young age. Skills involved include logistics, catering, mixology, crowd control, and creative parking solutions described as 'automotive Tetris' when fitting many cars into a small driveway. These abilities were learned from parents' soirees. A historical note indicates that in the 1980s house parties were common and were called The Stations.
