Your best option is to move the laundry down to the basement. But if there's absolutely no way you can do that, you can always move to a new home with a laundry in the basement. Just make sure you don't leave the sunsets behind!
Seriously, though, with C you probably don't have to worry about anything. But if you are concerned, you can always send W down to pick up something he needs, or bring snacks down or clean up a bit. We had our computer downstairs with our big screen TV and I'd often find something important to check out (like this board) when DS had friends over.

I agree with Sus. You don't know what is the real truth. Perhaps the boy did not tell his parents the plans. Perhaps he was suppose to call and didn't. You just don't know. Remember, the young man is a great kid because of his parents,including his father. Perhaps the party was NOT a good time. The Dad's condition could be worse. Doctors don't get out prescriptions for pot on a whim. The dad is getting it for a reason!
How do you know he is a drinker? There are very valid reasons he could need pot. Could the Dad not have a medical condition (i.e. cancer,MS...) that pot helps with dealing with the treatment.
By the way, when you invite a youngster to a family activity, it is your responsibility to provide the transportation and to conform to the parents' rules. You are taking responsibility of a minor.
Obviously, there is a lack of communication here.
My DD has friends whose parents are very strict,much stricter than we are. At 19, this girl is not allow sleepovers. But that is their decision. There have been many occasions that we have taken the friend home.
That was a kind reply from J's mom, and so was your response to her. Too bad their family has to deal with the dad's alcoholism--I always wonder if it's wise to stick together "for the sake of the kids" in situations like that. But maybe because J is an older child, the mom thought it wouldn't be too much longer until he was out of the house. And being able to stay at his grandparent's probably helps, too. Does he have siblings?
You must feel relieved to have enough info to make sense of all the strange behavior.
I'm glad this worked out so that you could better understand what was going on in the house...I didn't post earlier, but was going to tell you that my DS's ex GF and family might have said the same about us here, things got ugly, but alot of it was that we didn't like the young lady and she was the problem....that ended up causing alot of problems for our family.

UPDATE!
Light has been shed on the whole situation with the family I thought was being cruel to my daughter's bf.
