Would you ask to bring alcohol?

[LemonH20]

DD has been invited to a party at the weekend at her friends house in the garden. They are 6/7. The girls mum whos party it is has arranged a bouncy castle, entertainer that kind of thing. She said parents are welcome to stay or go. I'm staying just because I haven't been round there before and DD is still young.

Anyway on the parent group chat we have, someone asked if it was ok if they brought alcohol alone to the child's party for the other parents to drink? Someone replied they would bring straws for the alcohol (it was not the party organiser). The organiser has not replied to this question.

AIBU to think this is rude? It's a child's birthday party, not a knees up opportunity to get drunk.

But why is it a big deal for the host to say no if they want to?

Question asked, host answers. There’s really no need to be all uncomfortable about it.

Yes but other people on this thread have suggested it makes you an alcoholic to have a glass of wine at a kids party….

I think there's a difference between offering someone a glass of wine at something like this and them bringing a bottle like they're planning to settle in and make a day of it.

They asked, to see if it was minded. I don’t think that’s weird or unreasonable. If they turn up with a little of vodka and a load of mixers - yeah, inappropriate for the setting. A selection of bottled beers or a couple of bottles of Prosecco to share, fine.
