Can't believe what I am reading...

[SmileItsANewYear]

Some people think that it's ok to give a child alcohol (as long as over the age of 5)

What the actual fuck?

The one about the nearly 5 year old waiting the other side of the tills at M&S and a concerned member of the public expressing her concern...over...and over....and over again.

I was given Taboo and Lemonade never mind baileys

I was 10 when jager bombs were introduced

^jager bomb is a joke.

I was always allowed a really lame drink at Christmas such as a snowball or baileys.

It's a splash over ice which dilutes it loads.

Mine was never disguised as pop, I was allowed to taste the proper drink. Quite liked neat southern comfort as it happens.

I agree with that Pixel DD1 started on small amounts of neat wine age 15. I wanted her to recognise the taste of alcohol and be familiar with it's real strength. She's 17 now and not bothered about alcohol.

Fair enough. I'll take it read's a pompous and I come across that way. It's my opinion that's all.

Harold And it would take you hours to drink

I'm hankering after a Baileys now too! Shame I finished the bottle over Christmas.

Did nobody dip their baby's dummy in brandy then?

DSD and her mates had some chocolate Baileys this Christmas, by God that was sweet. Certainly couldn't get drunk on that, I'd be puking after the second glass .

Now Mint Baileys mmmm, that was nice.

Thread about a thread to have a go at someone else's perfectly legal parenting choices - not good form at all and in fact, against the talk guidelines I believe.

I've got a whole bottle of Baileys left over from Christmas.

Why are both Lteve and Prima saying the OP is referring to their threads? Is the OP of this thread on a mission?????

My 5 and 3 year olds had a champagne spritzer on NYE to toast the New Year with us.

It's the first year they've both managed to stay awake until 12 and ds1 wanted to taste some. They both survived it.

It was whiskey my nanna gave us for teething

Oh, and chocolate liqueurs, yes. Used to eat loads of those at Christmas as a child.

Thanks for the warning about the chocolate baileys LtEve I fancied trying it but I think I'll pass.

I like the coffee one, it's very similar to sheridans. I'm sure I had a nutty one once, that was nice (if it was nut!)

Omg Sheridans - a thing of beauty... but way too good for kids.

Hops, it was my post on Primas thread that OP was referring to.

I want Baileys now!

Ohh Sheridans, I'd forgotten about that. Now that was lovely.

I used to get a bottle top of Bells Whisky to drink when I was about 8 Until my DM realised she was giving me a double Whisky when she once tipped it into a glass.

How did I drink that?? Ugh!

Was not aware this was against talk guidelines. I'm signing off of mumsnet entirely. Have actually been left disgusted by this.

I rarely, if ever, say this but...

Get a grip.

FFS.

I saw smirnoff vodka chocolates in Tesco. I cant imagine them been nice
