Ground her.

Probably.

No input on your situation, just answering the question...

Maybe you could go Kit surfing to relax

Sorry mate past 4....

I totally agree with you. My 15 year old son is doing the same thing to me. He doesn't drink (or so he says) but I don't like him being around peers who do. Bottom line is it is illegal. Stay firm, she'll understand why when she's older.

Im sorry to say this but there is nothing you can do. The pressure at school and freinds is far to great. Being in those groups is like a cult.... once your in you do as they do or bye bye friends (They don't take it well when you say no)
My brother was really bad but same as GPA said, he got alot better once he got his P plates and got a job.

Your not old fashioned and boring... you just got to accept that this is the world we live in...

My 8 y.o. twins know when to stop pushing the envelope but my 5y.o. is really getting under my skin - caught him stealing beer from the fridge .................oh hang on I'm ten years too early for this discussion.

PS - not looking forward to dealing with my 1.5y.o. daughter turning into a teenager in about a decade either.

So glad I never had them!
But how come I still feel old fashioned and boring

I am getting tired of the parents of my teenage daughters friends having big parties for 40 odd teens (16 y olds ) where they allow alcohol . No presentation of invite nothing just abuse from my daughter when i ask questions about the party ,why no invite etc answered with "mum doesn't care and would buy me the alcohol etc"
It just creates a 2 weekly stink around here, i'm over it .

send em to party with theDoctor, he'll scare 'em straight.......

mmmmmmmmm, 16yr olds

Ha! So inappropriate!

I was asked to join a few other parents at a teen party earlier this year. I was told 20 had been invited, i think the total in attendance must of topped 100+. Alcohol was everywhere, it was a riot. Pissed kids in the swimming pool, pissed kids in the house. It was a 13th b/day party, at 11pm the music was switched off. 20 kids were allowed to 'sleep over'. At 8am the following morning all the kids were still awake and twitching like zombies. One thing i did observe was the snorting of sherbet!, seriously several times i witnessed this and thinking they were snorting coke i had to investigate. Turns out they were getting some kind of glucose rush from the hits. Personally i think its pre coke grooming.
Theres no doubting that our kids will take an interest in alcohol and drugs. The majority of us did, maybe not so early but trends and attitudes are changing rapidly.

Hi Lac

Long time, but the good news on your front is if you have done all you can in the early years then as they say all will be OK --mmm ( this is often difficult subject to individual situations etc).

BUT we all have an inner thing that makes us differnet so this theory is not accurate.

I am now at a time where I have a daughter where all has gone to plan ( but I admit there was no plan) and a son that - well what can I say but time will tell as he has proven to be a great husband, father and provider, however our relationship is a bit distant.

Good luck with what I am sure all will work out as life progresses and kite surfing will be your therapy

yep going snowkiting tomoz for 2days pow pow wow.
"Theebtter they drink in our backyard " cop out is all the rage.Anyway I got through that I still don't think its a good idea .She said that she wouln't drink and didn/t and was home by 1130

I know its hard but its still illegal. As i said my kids are only young but ATM my attitude is to teach them right from wrong and that its okay not to drink or smoke if they don't want to. Luckily i'm not a big drinker. It will be hard but that's my plan
