My DSD who is 13 lives with her mother and other sister. When she and her sister come to stay if we are having a family celebration or bbq or a big sunday roast we may let her have a very small glass of champagne or a shandy.
However lately I have noticed on Facebook that she is putting comments about how she is hungover after spending the weekend with her older female cousin who regularly drinks.
When we do let her have a small drink she drinks it very quickly and quite often asks if she can have a drink.
DH saw her comment on Facebook and told her he was not happy about her drinking 6 alcoholic drinks and her answer was I am my own person!
DH spoke to her mother who said what is the problem she was with family and was having a meal. However DH ex was annoyed at DSD for putting such things on Facebook!
Personally I do not think a 13 year old girl should be drinking 6 alcholic drinks in one evening or at all if honest. She is a very slim girl and after that many drinks I am sure she would appear drunk.
Are we being unreasonable? We have decided not to let her have anything at our house as she seems to abuse the trust we placed in her. We have always let her try alcohol at our house so that she won't be curious and binge at a later date.
