It's good if they go to someone's house where there's less of a risk of them getting into trouble. @leahsfrog Yes, important that you have to be comfortable with who and where they're going. @lola

He does not go anywhere without me being within the general shouting distance, it is just too scary to let them go before they can fend for themselves.

It's so expensive! I have a 13 year old son and a 15 year old daughter. They started this movie going thing at the beginning of this school year. The first couple times I went with my daughter. Yes I'm overprotective of her, but she's got mental health issues so I don't treat her like a 15 year old because she doesn't act like one. I gave up the going with her to the movies when she wanted to see "High School Musical 3". No way I could sit through that. It's also so incredibly expensive. The last time I went with her I think I dropped $35. My son goes with his guy buddies. I drop the kids off at the show and another parent picks up the bunch of them and they hang out at one of the friends playing video games until 10pm. It's a nice little vacation for me. lol! Except for when I'm the pick-up Mom and I have to bring them back to my house for video games. Our movie theater is a stand alone theater in the middle of nothing, so I don't have to worry about them hanging out at the mall or walking anywhere. I hate this trend! It’s so expensive!
