To feel a bit cross/worried

It was my birthday recently and dd15 bought me a bottle of wine - she ordered it online and ticked the “over 18” box.
She said normally she’d have asked her dad to order it (we’re separated) but as he’s moving soon didn’t want it to end up at the wrong address.
I know her heart was in the right place , just a bit cross with her for lying about her age.
I’m as sure as I can be she wouldn’t buy alcohol for herself and if she wants an occasional smell drink at home, I’m fine with it.
Any thoughts?

You've posted about this before haven't you?

stripetop · 12/10/2021 21:20

Wouldn't worry me. If you have no other concerns and sure she wouldn't buy it for herself, just trying to be kind to her mum.

When my niece was about seven, my sil was in bed unwell. She climbed up onto the kitchen unit, opened a screw top bottle of wine, poured her a glass and took it to the bedroom!!! It's the legendary family story. Sil had never drank wine in the morning, in bed or to excess. Again niece was trying to be kind.

Sounds fine to me 🤷‍♀️

DartmoorChef · 12/10/2021 21:25

Why have you posted this twice? And what really is the problem? She sounds like a kind thoughtful daughter.

Pebbledashery · 12/10/2021 21:28

You've posted this already.. I think let this one go, she doesn't sound like a bad kid, just wanted to do something nice for you. Perhaps reiterate not to do it again.

Ledition · 12/10/2021 21:29

So what? She was being nice? If she's a good kid it's an odd thing to care about.

SylvanasWindrunner · 12/10/2021 21:30

Wouldn't bother me in the least.

iheartredsquirrels · 12/10/2021 21:31

this is also on the teenagers board op, you wrote about it today.

ANameChangeAgain · 12/10/2021 21:31

Bless her, I hope she doesn't know you are cross with her, she sounds very sweet.

Jeschara · 12/10/2021 21:31

It would not bother me either.

ABCeasyasdohrayme · 12/10/2021 21:33

Its not like she order MD2020 and 10 lambert and butler to go sit down the park and get hammered with her mates or whatever the youth do nowadays

She sounds like a lovely thoughtful kid, nit worth starting 2 threads about how worried and annoyed you are

Atla · 12/10/2021 21:33

I think she was doing something nice for you - I wouldn't be cross with her about it.

WorraLiberty · 12/10/2021 21:34

@iheartredsquirrels

this is also on the teenagers board op, you wrote about it today.
Today as well? I remember it from a few months ago.
Atla · 12/10/2021 21:35

[grin]@ABCeasyasdohrayme - MD2020, those were the days!

Halo1234 · 12/10/2021 21:40

If u trust her its not an issue. If you don't it is. Do you trust her?

ABCeasyasdohrayme · 12/10/2021 21:45

😂 it was all so simple back then.

There is another thread by you headed up my dd ordered wine

MintyGreenDream · 12/10/2021 21:49

I've just replied to the other thread.Pick one and get the other deleted

Whysolong7 · 12/10/2021 21:50

This is massively a non-issue.

LtJudyHopps · 12/10/2021 22:01

I don’t understand why you’re cross or worried? If your 15 year old wanted to drink alcohol believe me she would source it and drink it.

MadeOfStarStuff · 12/10/2021 22:04

Shock horror, teenager ticks a box that says they’re over 18.

She did a nice thing, let it go
