To think it's a bit weird to go clubbing with your daughter?

[CruCru]

A woman I went to school with has put a comment on FB that she is planning to take her daughter clubbing for the first time "to show her the moves". AIBU to think this is a bit weird? I would have refused to go clubbing with my mum.

I used to go clubbing with my mum. Never did me any harm or her for that matter!

Don't do clubbing but do do gigs and festivals. And have taken DCs since they were about 3. For us, as a family, it is perfectly normal. There again, money of us are going for anything other than the music / to catch up with friends.

I go with my daughter regularly. We are great mates. We also have the same hobbies so have a similar circle of friends.

I'd have died of mortification if my Mum had tried to come clubbing with me, but then she was a very "mumsy" mum too an her dancing was shocking! She used to work in a student union bar, and I remember going to some disco thing there when I was about 13 with the family - Dad as always refused to dance at all, and Mum was just embarrassing to us (it wasn't just a student thing, it can't have been or we wouldn't have been allowed in).

I didn't go clubbing in my teens, only started in my 20s but didn't go often because my boyfriend at the time hated dancing and clubs. I'd go with colleagues from work sometimes though. Then in my late 20s through to mid 30s I went a fair bit (being single again) - but by the time I hit about 37 or 38 I was getting fed up with it all.

I'm certainly too old to go clubbing now at all, let alone with DSs when they're old enough.

When I was in my 20s and my dad was in his 50s we'd go out clubbing together fairly regularly - we get on great and both enjoy a good night out.

He is nearly 70 now so not up for it as often and I'm rarely up for it either these days. But nonetheless we still manage it once in a while.

If you like similar music and enjoy one another's company then why not?

I hate clubbing. I do however go out to the pubs with my mum and love it! We have a great time, actually better than when I go out with my friends.

As a one off, it'd be hilarious.

Regular thing, maybe not.

My goal is to see my mother drunk though. She hasn't been drunk in 31 years. I was born the following autumn.

my DD is 17, and has loads of friends of her own to go out with, but sometimes we go out together - not clubbing, but we went to a music festival in the summer togther, just the two of us (two years previously, we went with one of her friends and her mum - loads of different stages, so the girls went to see Kesha, and we mums went to see New Order and Garbage!)

this year, it was just me and her, we saw Avril Lavigne, Little Mix and Queen.

Then a couple of weeks ago, the two of us (and my gay friend) went to a 6 hour rave, headlined by Fatboy Slim - that was fabulous!

We are not in the UK and it is not "clubbing" as such, but we have a nice time, not weird at all

My daughter would be so embarrassed even if I was the world's greatest dancer ...

Not wierd or sad at all. Each to their own I say.

I'm not getting the whole 'meat market' and pulling thing at all. The clubs I went to (proper clubs IMO, which book well know &respectable DJs) were not about drunken louts & pulling. They were all about the music & sharing the love with like-minded people (&the drugs).

Even married people go/went clubbing. Sometimes without their partners. They don't/didn't throw themselves at people or go home with anyone else. Not in my wide circle of friends anyway. I'm glad I've never experienced the kind of clubs many of the people on this thread have

That said, my kind of clubbing experience is not necessarily the kind I would want to share with DD (hypocrite alert) She's not into that scene at all anyway.

It would be weird for me to go clubbing with my DD. I am way past clubbing, can't stand it, and DD is only 3.

But it might not be weird for a different mother-daughter pair.

Mind you, I think it would ALWAYS be weird if either mother or daughter (or both) was getting drunk or on the pull.
