To think only in 2012 a person would atually think this is good parenting on their behalf

I am just godsmacked what is this treand of being your childs mate all about [

^^ i must admit i thought that too when i saw the pictures!

THese stories always remind me of Harry Enfield "People fink we're sistaaaaas dunt they?!" cue daughter rolling her eyes.

99% of the time it is a very embarrassed dd and a delusional mother.

Shouldn't they be doing something other than drinking?

Mums and DDs can do swimming or martial arts or running or amateur dramatics or volunteering together or many other activities - it does not have to involve alcohol.

who are they trying to kid that she gets mistaken for her sister?

who by? drunk men wearing beer goggles????

No, by men who are after a quick shag and know that this silly woman will fall for crap lines like that and will be on her knees sucking their dicks after another bacardi breezer

Hrm, there are cool mums and cool mums.

My DP was allowed to have his long term gf stay when 17. They split up, but all respectful, still mates, no unwanted babies(!) etc. We've been together a long time, but back when we were very young, partying etc. we would definitely reign it in when with parents or expecting them next day - thought that was just basic respect?

My 20yr old DS has been trying to get me to go out for a drink with him and his mates for a couple of years.

I compromised and went to Bingo with his girlfriend...then told him if he picks us up early, he can buy us a beer before the last game ends.

I have to ask, at what time of the night does this actually happen?

I am a mother of a 17 year old DD and I let her drink a little at home, knowing she goes out with her mates and drinks, but there are limits.

I would not do this at all!!

I am always saying my DCs can have manay friends in their lives but they can only have one mother!! I will stick to my special role in their lives!

manay many

People have mistaken me for my DC's sibling. They aren't teen yet but at 17 I wouldn't think there is anything that bad about having a little drink together. It is legal to drink alcohol in the house at that age, I'd allow it. What I wouldn't want them doing at that age is drinking on the streets or at parties where their drink could be spiked. It doesn't sound like they're harming anyone so why not just leave them alone.

I can't imagine this level of vitriol if it was a father and 17 yo son... Hmm

But at 17 they will be drinking at parties Margery

Being concerned about you children and trying to be their best friend/drinking buddy are worlds apart.

And for the record, I know plenty of twatty men who want to be their son's best friend/drinking buddy too.

As Mamma said, a child will have plenty of friends but they only get one Mum/Dad in their lives.

But I thought one of the points the mum was making is that her dd isn't going and getting steaming at those parties cos she's with her mum?
Given how many 17 yo girls get raped at parties I'd do almost anything to stop them going.

I remember feeling when my DDs hit late teens and were having a ball doing things I felt i'd done yesterday. A bit of a reality check to accept that the funnest part of you life was behind you and never to return.

margey you cant keep teenagers home in fear of them being raped you have to set boundries and make sure you know where they are going you cant keep them in , how long do you keep them in for till they are 30

and FWIW I know men who are their sons buddy and it is just as embarrassing

If the child and parent are both happy in each other's company, then why is it embarrassing? Does mn have an acceptable age range when parents and their kids can go out to the pub/parties together?

Mrs- teens, and all women, are much more likely to be raped indoors than outdoors. I'm not suggesting keeping them in. Just stating that parties are a lot more dangerous than going to a pub/club, which this girl is too young to do and don't have flipping beds in them!!
