  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

Were do you draw the line??

Smoking ? Drinking? Drugs? Sex?

I have heard of parents letting 14 year olds have boyfriends staying over as it's better than letting them do it elsewhere ....

Dear Lordy....

Let the kids do what they want ... At least they won't rebel... :lol: Of course they won't when everything is ok :).

I don't fancy reading through the last 11 pages but I get the feeling that Oaf doesn't agree with 14 year old kids, and in this case, his child(ren) in the future going out getting drunk ... that he wants to ensure his child(ren) at the age of fourteen have a responsible upbringing without any influence of alcohol, unless its on his terms ... and the problem with that is what exactly???

I know what I was like and what my peers were like when I was in my mid-teens and I don't want my daughters having the same things going on ...

Oh, and giving kids 'alcopops' is a horrible, irresponsible and completely dumbass thing to do ... it teaches nothing about the joys and benefits of alcohol. Its just f**king stupid.

How do you restict their ability to buy such things?

If she wants to buy alcohol, then she will find a way.

Some shops serve to underagers. When i was 15 i used to get served all the time, and even got asked for id in the train station when i tried buying a under 16s train ticket.

and, just by making your kids do that won't stop them wanting to try new things.

Kids may not be allowed, but its a fact that they may do it themselves! Yeah, some kids end up in A&E from drinking, but its not the adults fault. Just because they're someones son/daughter doesn't mean they follow everything to what their parents want. and i know for certain that i wasn't niave and in my own little world at 14/15. I had a very good head on my shoulders, but i still experimented.

I agree with that. its the kids who ain't allowed to do certain things are more likely to get in trouble with such things, and if the subject isn't allowed to be talked about with an open mind too.

How the hell are you gona protect your child from stuff like that? She's got her own mind you know.

Hah, and you'll be one of those fathers that the kid hates, and by the time she's 16/18 she will dispise you so much for not allowing her the freedom to grow up and make her own choices that she will probably do everything you stopped her doing.

Thats not good oaf, not allowing freedom.

You and your closed mind should listen to us younger lot, because believe it or not, we do know what we're talking about. Especially us girls if your raising a daughter. And you shouldn't be so quick to tell us we're so evil for being slightly more relaxed about alcohol. We're not saying downing a litre of vodka is teaching your child about alcohol, but the odd few bottles/cans of something like isn't bad.

Thats actually cruel. The best things my mother did was let me have freedom. She always knew where i was, and always had mobile numbers of people i was with too.

She can study, and socialise with her friends. She shouldn't be expected to be studying or at ballet etc all the time. I'd expect if you let her out with riff raff a bit more, she'd probably be able to get better social skills.

and also be able to know about other kinds of people and how to treat different types of people etc.

I used to have alcopops in the house too, nothing wrong with that. Went to a wedding a few months ago and i was encouraging my sister to have a WKD but she said no thanks. OH look oaf, a 14 year old whos been offered alcohol, and turns it down! thasts because she was brought up to respect it, and know if she wants it or not! Yeah i must be a cruel older sister, as for the past year or so if i have a big bottle of alcopop i pour her a small glass.

Thats quite true ahah

I was brought up to respect alcohol, but also talk about anything and everything with my mum. I even told her when i was 14 that i'd had a few drags of a joint, and she said 'well, did you like it?' and i said 'didnt really bother me' and told me never to be worried about telling her anything. And i'm not.

And i've been brought up really well, we're not riff raff or anything. Yet, at 15 i still went out and got shit faced with alcohol i'd bought myself. Just helped me learn how shite it feels being sick from too much booze. And its the best education you can have.

And i haven't turned out that bad. I've got a strong head on my shoulders, i'm in college, i am sociable, and i have good morals. I plan on going to uni next year, oh and thats another thing, if you want your daughter to be brains, how do you think shes going to cope during freshers at uni?! its the ones who haven't been exposed to alcohol before that are more likely to lie in a ditch or have their stomach pumped.

I doubt any of this makes much sense because i haven't been on in a few days, but i had to have a say because i got really pissed off here!!!

My kids going to despise me :) Very funny...

Funny I love my parents, and so does my wife... Even after being brought up in this way..., Maybe its you who needs to take a long hard look at themselves, instead of just giving in :)

I kind of get the feeling not a lot of you had constructive things going on in a your lives... Walking the streets. smacking back the beers... ASBO's all round me thinks :)
