For thinking DH shouldn't be buying alcohol for DSs mates

DS is in year 10 so his mates are all 14 and 15.

They've stared having house parties, usually around 30 to 40 kids (not at our house I should add!).

Im happy for DS to go, he's been to a few, he takes a few beers and has never got himself into a mess, he's home before 12.

He's asked DH to buy some alcohol for his mates and they'll give him the money. No spirits, just beer. DH has said yes.

I'm saying a big fat no. It's one thing supplying alcohol to your own DC, another thing entirely to supply it for other people's.

I have a 15yo. If I found out they were giving their pocket money to a friend’s dad, who in turn bought them alcohol, I would be livid. Like, report this parent to the police livid.

It's illegal isn't it?

Yes, I'm sure it must be!

They're old enough for a couple of beers, no more than that though.

I agree but surely that's the decision of the parents to make, not DH.

Totally agree, I’d be fucking livid with your DH if I found he’d supplied my underage kid with alcohol. I’d probably call the police.
