12. If your kid is going to Coachella (or any other hipster festival) - STAY HOME

This doesn't apply if you're chaperoning, but if you are, then hang back and stay out of your kid's way. 
There's not much worse for a child than having a parent that parties at the same party. Remember that scene in A Walk on the Moon (probably not as well I do, having seen it at least 5 times) when Anna Paquin's character runs into her mom (played beautifully by Diane Lane) at Woodstock? Her mom was making out with a guy (a "guy"? Viggo!) who wasn't her dad, and she was stoned. Not pretty. Let that be a guide. 
Save that reservation at the Ace hotel for another weekend, a weekend when your business will truly be your business. 

Let your kid be the kid for Coachella.
