Urgent help with safeguarding

[Lunar27]

For traffic so apologies for a non AIBU thread.

My daughter's gone out with friends and I received a call an hour ago to pick up one of them as she's blind drunk and in a huge state.

My wife and I have picked her up and brought her home on her own, as she didn't want to face her mum. My daughter's still out with mates.

She so drunk and desperate to leave but my wife and I don't want her to just walk into the night in her own completely out of it. But she's adamant she wants to leave and will find her way anywhere but home.

We've given her the option of sleeping it off here or we'll drop her home but at the same time don't want to hold her prisoner until she sobers up.

What do we do?

For info she's been a long time friend of my daughter and the family.

Phone your daughter and get her to come home and sort it.

Your daughter's a massive pisstaker.

Who the hell does she think she is, dumping this on you and then carrying with her night??

Agree with all the others this was your daughter's responsibility not yours. Have had exact same scenario once with my son but I picked them both up (early hours of morning) and friend slept it off on son's floor (with bucket at the ready) for him to look after him til he was sober enough to go back to his own home. I would be having serious conversation with your daughter about this😤

I would be very annoyed with your daughter.

Thanks again for the advice/feedback. It was much appreciated when I was genuinely stumped on the right way to handle the situation.

I'm not going to get down in my daughter as in fairness she thought we would just drop her home so wasn't required.

However it became quite clear she didn't want to go home as she has a difficult relationship there and probably wasn't the best place to turn up completely smashed.

It all ended up ok as we managed to talk her sober and then dropped her home when she was in less of a state and less likely to cause more friction at home.

This girl is very lucky to have you. Hopefully she has learnt her lesson when she wakes up with a truly awful hangover. I suppose your daughter did at least get help for her but she should be taking responsibility by being there for her friend rather than leaving it all to you.

I wonder if having a proper chat about her home life is warranted at some point. My mum took in my waif and stray friends with shitty home lives! Could explain the out of control drinking and that's not likely to end well.

Poor kid.
