I'm struggling to convince my mum that I'm responsible enough to decide when to have a drink. She never has an issue with it on Friday and Saturday nights. She says she does it because 1. She thinks if she gave me that responsibility I'd drink myself half to death every night, which is absolutely not true, and 2. As I'm still living at home I she has the right to stop me (never heard of that before). Admittedly, I can be quite immature and I have made some big mistakes with alcohol before but I like to think I've now learned from those lessons and that I'm responsible enough to know how often to have a drink and when to call it a night. She also said that when the pubs/bars/clubs reopen and I decide to go out, I won't be allowed back home that night. She says she wants to keep the house safe (which it would be, I have a key, there is a safe, and I've never been stupid enough to forget to lock the door) and she doesn't want me coming home throwing up "god knows where". I think that will be quite embarrassing to have to tell my friends when they start inviting me out.
Any advice please? Thanks in advance 🙂
