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

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 have spent many a lovely night getting absolutely pissed with df before I moved out and we set the world to rights and unlike dm I could have told him anything.
I also spent many many happy times with my best friend and her dm when we all got pissed together and had a whale of a time. She was like a second mum to me and always knew where we were, what we did and her dd had such a close relationship. My friendship with her continues to this day and I talk to her more often than her dd

adoggymum · 02/12/2018 20:01

They're both of age? If you're great friends as well with your mum it could be great bonding time?

My mum doesn't drink.

LovelyGirlNOT · 02/12/2018 20:03

Only this afternoon I enjoyed impromptu tipsyness after sharing homemade mojito's with my MIL, FIL and GMIL

GMIL is in her 80's and is the absolute best for getting trollied with!

OP YABVU. Loosen up a bit, it's not like she's sharing a crack pipe with her

deedeegee · 02/12/2018 20:27

Not at all- DD aged 22 still in teenage strop with me over nothing on particular a la Kevin and Perry style- so I would welcome such a bonding weekend!

ginnylocks · 02/12/2018 20:53

sounds like fun to me!

Chucky16 · 02/12/2018 21:02

Sounds like they are intending to have a good time and dont need someone like you looking down their nose at them. Butt out, it’s nothing to do with you.

manicmij · 02/12/2018 21:11

Can't imagine a situation when me and mother would be doing that. Okay, we have a glass or two of wine, g&ts in each others presence but pissed, no way. Complete waste of money anyway and serves no good.

VerbeenaBeeks · 02/12/2018 21:21

I don’t think OP is coming back

Otherwise known as a bitch plop, wind em up and do a runner lol.

Louiselouie0890 · 02/12/2018 21:26

What a party pooper

Ragwort · 02/12/2018 21:27

I love having a few drinks with my mother but I wouldn’t plan on ‘going out to get pissed’ with anyone. Is it not possible to enjoy yourself without ‘getting pissed’?

BitchQueen90 · 02/12/2018 21:33

Of course it is Ragwort but getting pissed is fun too. Grin

Ragwort · 02/12/2018 21:37

I guess it depends on what you view as ‘getting pissed’, I am probably a heavy drinker by Mumsnet standards (although not this thread Grin) and drink at least two or three glasses of wine most nights but even then I wouldn’t call it ‘getting pissed’. My mother & I like to share a bottle of Prosecco but that doesn’t make us ‘pissed’.

Lovingbenidorm · 02/12/2018 21:40

I think it’s great that mum and dd are so happy in each other’s company that they are having a weekend away together.
Surely you’re making a judgement about the amount they intend to drink?

VerbeenaBeeks · 02/12/2018 21:41

i never even got drunk in front my parents but drink was never a thing in our house

Haa.
Even now at the age of 40 cough 40 if I'm home at the parents for the weekend tiptoeing around pretending I'm not drunk lol.
Me? Noooo as if, shut UPPPPP lol Grin

crispysausagerolls · 02/12/2018 21:42

Some of my most hilarious, drunken shenanigans involved my mother. Hilarious.

Itsyersel · 02/12/2018 21:43

@drednkva Piss off you idiot!!!
Maybe you have a sad little boring life but these will be a mother and daughter who have a great bond! Maybe they are more like friends!! Are you a little snowflake?

twattymctwatterson · 02/12/2018 21:46

Op the daughter is an adult. Two adult women plan to get drunk at a planned event. Who can bring themselves to even care about something like this?

VerbeenaBeeks · 02/12/2018 21:53

I have never understood the desire to get pissed

Good for you.

ColdTattyWaitingForSummer · 02/12/2018 22:01

Whoops.. me and ds1 (who is not quite 18) had a couple of cocktails on Friday night while we sorted out the Christmas decorations. It was fun! And while I’m not keen on the idea (especially at my age..) of going out to deliberately ‘get pissed’ I don’t think it’s somehow less appropriate with family..

VerbeenaBeeks · 02/12/2018 22:10

I'm with you OP and shocked at the responses on here

Did you misread over 18 for over 8 or something? Hmm

HippoEvans · 02/12/2018 22:14

What a silly thread OP

NotUmbongoUnchained · 02/12/2018 22:17

I’ve just been to a family wedding last night. We’re me and my parents supposed to sit in separate rooms or something?

I’ve also gotten absolutely baked with my mum before. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yidette86 · 02/12/2018 22:20

I'm really failing to see the issue... Unless either or both are alcoholics or alcohol dependant? If not they are both adults

Shewhomustbeobeyed1 · 02/12/2018 22:40

None of your business frankly

Frokni · 02/12/2018 22:58

I work at an alternative school and the kids score weed from their own parents. They are no older than 15. So a parent having a drink with her legal aged kid is fine by me!
