Oh by the way do they go out together or go out separately?

Most teenagers worth their salt would be embarressed at partying with their dads! Perhaps you should gently remind your husband and son of that!

If the partying is the only problem - to you - then maybe its worth remembering nobody is ever 100% how we want them to be.
Enjoy yourself, doing whatever you like.

this is a hard situation, many men love to party and its a way of life, try and reason with your husband amd say at the weekends you can go out with your friends but in the weekdays is our time together and even he still wants to go out suggest going out together to a resturant, as for your son he is growing up and will want to go out all the time just stand by him and suggest other family thinkgs he could be doing or suggest a holiday, make sure you have at least 1 day a week as a family day maybe more i hope i have been helpfull.
