My 13 yr. old daughter had 5 girlfriends over last weekend. I went out as I thought there was no reason for concern. One of the girls brought alcohol over in her bag. (FYI kids will bring water bottles with them, filled with a juice/alcohol mix and sip on them, especially if it's a sleepover Next time I will check! ) My daughter denied drinking. I couldnt smell anything but she was acting a bit drunk. She finally admited that her friend brought alcohol for herself and might have slipped some in her drink. I think she's lying but decided to believe her and suggested she ask her friend, who says she did not.
Here's where I'd like your opinions: If she doesn't admit to drinking, should I tell her that Im going to call the girls parents and let them know their daughter brought alcohol to our house? This could hinder my daughter's friendship though. Or I could say it and not mean it, in hopes she fesses up. Thoughts?
