Hiya my first post here )
i have 2 daughters on nearly 14 and one of 11, just before chistmas my eldest was invited to a bithday party to a girls house who was going to be 13, on the back of the invite was a not asking if my daughter could have some wkd , i didnt tell my husband until the day before the party as i knew he wouldnt be happy about our young teen drinking wkd
anyway we told our daughter that we didnt want her drinking any and to this we got a torrent of crying and saying that she would be left out as they would all be having a little drink, now i dont back down just for a few tears and told her in no uncertain terms that if we found out that she had been drinking after we told her no, she would expect no presents on chritmas day(harsh i know)
bless her she was good and didnt drink but when i spoke to a friend of mine she seemed to think that all kids drink at some stage and it would have done her any harm...i disagree , i know teenagers drink but i want to introduce her to drinking responcably
was i unreasonabale i dont think i was but was suprised by the responce of my friend
