Party time!

  1. 1. If you bring beer to a party and not all of it is consumed, can you take the remainder with you as you leave the party?

    • You brought it, it's yours to do what you wish

    • No. Title changed upon walking across the threshold

    • You can sneak one for the road in your pocket as you leave

most 15 years olds will be out with their pals at the weekend, you can't supervise them all the time and you can't control what they do when you're not there.

i've never walked about the streets drinking white lightening. when i was 15 i went to house parties, it would be a mix of people from around 14-18, so there would be people old enough to buy booze for us all. my mum and dad knew where i was, at least i was in someone's house, not walking around the streets where i could get into trouble.

aye. if parents don't let their kids drink til they're 18, you can guarantee that they'll be out on the streets getting pished way before that. i think it's a good idea for people to let their kids have a drink in the house from around 14, then there is nothing for the kid to rebel against and there will be a mutal respect between the parents and kids.

He suggested allowing 14 to 15 years old to drink unsupervised... Not having a drink in the house at the right times... aka family party (allowing them a small drink or two)... or maybe at a family meal... (some wine)...

My dad started taking me pub when I was 14/15...

I was never allowed to go off drinking with my mates with their knowledge... I did once or twice but it was difficult... I didn't have their blessing...

Sorry but some of you have just got it plain wrong... No wonder so many kids end up in A&E ill from drinking...

Sorry but I find that horrible... 14 years olds should not be drinking on a regular occasion... and with your parents knowledge... Sorry but that isn't good IMO...

Maybe at a party / meal...

To say, well its better than them doing it on the streets is shocking... I see parents giving there kids smokes and drink with that excuse... Its so lazy... Basically just giving in...

I never....

Total bullshit... You can teach them, give them freedom, without sticking beer and smokes down their throats...

Dear lord, some people...

oaf - why do you have to be an abusive prick in every thread you go in? You are a parent of 6ish months - Id get a bit more experience under your belt before you start telling those parents that have successfully raised their kids to late teens/twenties how to do the job. We already know what works with our kids - you have no idea cos you haven't got there yet.

this^^^^^...in my experience anyway

I was a fairly responsible and sensible child, my older sister was a complete nightmare. Because of the issues my sister caused my parents, they came down on me really hard (too hard in my opinion)......their lack of trust and belief in me was a huge factor in causing me to rebel against them

as a Mum now, I do believe that letting kids drink in moderation is fine. I'm not saying buy them a carry out at the weekend and sending them out with their mates is a good thing but showing your child that you trust them to act responsibly with drink could alleviate the need for them to go behind your back and drink to excess.

Caitlin is 8 at the moment so thankfully I don't have to worry about it for a while yet. I will assess the situation when she's older (and when I've got more parenting experience behind me)and take it from there

exactly. it's thinking long term, it's compromising with your kids, to give them a bit of freedom and it could prevent them from rebelling and going against you. it builds a better relationship and creates a mutual respect.

some people don't have the ability or the intelligence to think like that though :rolleyes:
