DD is 15 tmrw and has a friend coming round tonight to celebrate before we go away for a few days tomorrow.

She's asked for a bottle of Prosecco for them to share, to celebrate.

Would you let her?

No

Aarghkids · 17/02/2019 18:29

I would but I'd get permission from other parents before giving it to other teens

Ratbagcatbag · 17/02/2019 18:30

No.
What are they celebrating?
At a family meal I'd consider letting them have a glass each. But that's it.

Stevienickssleeves · 17/02/2019 18:30

No way!

Other teens mum is ok with it. Sorry, forgot to mention that! Would never do it without asking first.

Not a whole bottle - maybe a mini one each if ok with other girl's parents.

My mum was giving me money to go drinking in pubs when I was 15, I haven't carried that tradition on with my daughter do you let her drink on occasions normally...what about her friends parents would they approve?

Ratbagcatbag · 17/02/2019 18:31

Doh. Just realised you meant she's celebrating her birthday. 🤦‍♀️ Sorry.
Anyway the answer is most definitely not.

ErictheGuineaPig · 17/02/2019 18:31

Nope. Far too young for that amount of alcohol in my opinion.

Not for a 15th no

Mrscog · 17/02/2019 18:32

Not a whole bottle between 2. If the other parent was ok I might do a mini bottle each.

BreastSideStory · 17/02/2019 18:32

If the other kids parents are fine with it then I wouldn’t see a problem

MegaBat · 17/02/2019 18:32

Not in a million years. Maybe for her 18th. Just put your foot down. Alcohol isn't for just turned 15 year olds

missmartini · 17/02/2019 18:32

Not a bottle. I would let them have a glass each.

booellesmum · 17/02/2019 18:32

I would get a bottle and let them have a glass each so long as permission from other parent.
At that age in our house wine with meal is fine, but not just drinking to get drunk/tipsy.

mrsm43s · 17/02/2019 18:32

I think the mini bottle each is a good compromise.

A whole bottle between 2 is a bit much at 15.

AldiProsecco · 17/02/2019 18:33

No, despite my screen name, Grin
I've a dd the same age and I tell her not to WORK at developing an association between good times and alcohol, or not to work at needing alcohol to destress.

CalmDownPacino · 17/02/2019 18:33

I would. Better they're sharing a bottle of prosecco at home, than swigging cheap vodka from the bottle in the park 👍

IAmWonderWoman · 17/02/2019 18:33

A whole bottle between the two of them? No.

EdWinchester · 17/02/2019 18:33

No. Don't be that parent.

AldiProsecco · 17/02/2019 18:34

PS, my kids love schloer and consider it very fancy! would that do?

southnownorth · 17/02/2019 18:35

Nope.

BeanTownNancy · 17/02/2019 18:35

I might stretch to a buck's fizz. Much lower alcohol content.

ChariotsofFish · 17/02/2019 18:36

I’d go with two mini bottles, I think a whole bottle is too much.
