AIBU to think a mother shouldn't be getting pissed with her daughter?

[drednkva]

The daughter is over 18, but both going to a hotel this weekend and happily announces they will be getting pissed

AIBU to think this is inappropriate?

I’m in my 30s and my mum is in her 60s. Any adult/child part of our relationship went years ago. We are equals now. So no I don’t see why we shouldn’t drink together.

I have fond memories of the only time my mum and I got pissed together. It was 1/1/2000 and we’d got much of a jeroboam of champagne left from the night before, so drank kir royales all day. Is that ok? Or still inappropriate?

Planning to get pissed is immature, however old you are.

If ‘child’ is over 18 I absolutely don’t see the problem. Probably the safest person for daughter to be getting pissed with.

I’ve had some of our best conversations with my mum when pissed. Dont do it often but I love when we do.

I don’t get the point in purposely getting drunk - surely you go out to have a good time? If you happen to get drunk then fair enough.
However - I don’t see the issue with mother and daughter going out together

How judgemental are you? Get over yourself - YABU.

I'm 26 and for a good few years have loved having a drink with my mum!! It's great and I don't see the problem ?!

They are both consenting adults. Mind your business and pull your nose out of theirs.

Someone over 18 isn’t a child. Get a grip.

Note to self... getting pissed with my mum is inappropriate by MN standards 😂

The thing is I don’t think drinking with your adult offspring is even inappropriate by mumsnet standards. It’s a pretty resounding YABVVU from all

I think people who want to maintain the child adult dynamic way into the adulthood of their children are the ones in the wrong. If you are treating your adult child like an adult, there will be times when you probably will drink together and that's OK.

Nah, YABU. I love nothing better than holidays with my adult DC and getting very merry over a few bottles of wine. We have many any interesting and engaging conversation throughout.

DD age 21 said she can't wait to get her own house then I can come for a sleepover, we can order a Thai and get pissed on Demi Sec Cava.

Classy, we are 😀

Oh my there was me thinking I was passable parent.. but due to the fact that I sat in garden drinking copious amounts of pink gin with DD (19) throughly the summer’s world cup, I have had to re-evaluate. 😂 Not.

I don't drink with my parents cos I find it quite cringey for me to do, but I don't think there is anything inappropriate about others doing it

*throughout

What a lovely relationship they must have if they enjoy doing that together.

I've been blind drunk with my mother before and found it enormously fun.

Oh FFS, I thought by the drama llamaing over mums getting pissed (heaven forbid) in front of/with their daughters said daughter was something like 11 or 12.
Over 18?! Adult. None of your beeswax.
I don't get pissed with my mum but I don't judge any ADULTS that do with theirs.

You’d hate my family op, I’ve done shots with grandparents from both sides of the family, and me and my dad once spent a night teaching each other drinking games (I was at uni and he kicked my arse).

I used to enjoy having adult social time and catching a drink with my mum. I suppose our difference was I had to stay relatively sober as she was a raging alcoholic. However, I think having that sort of adult relationship with your parents is fab. I stopped putting mine on a pedestal and saw them for the flawed, but wonderful people they really were rather than just mum & dad. They both died well before their time so I’m glad we had that.

I can't help wondering if you'd feel the same way about a father and adult son doing the same?
