Geee I hope this isnt going to make me look bad. I was drinking at the age of 15/16 with out my mum and dad knowing. I dont drink that much now but I use to be a binge drinker. Every fri, sat night.

Now my 13 year old has asked me if I would let her drink. I told her if she wants to have a taste (which she has) sip I mean, I will let her. Then she said, no 1 drink of some thing. I told her I would let her try one drink and that would be it. She knows that I dont want her to drink behind my back and I believe she wouldnt. She has told me that if she went to a party where people where drinking she would tell me first. I told her she isnt to drink at anyone elses house until she is at least 17.

I think if your child is honest enough to come and ask you, or let you know they want to try some thing with you then you should let them. I believe if you dont then they will behind your back.

She hasnt asked me since and that was about 3 months ago and still hasnt had that one drink. I really dont think she wants to and that is great but if she does I want her to do it infront of me.

I hope this doesnt make me look like a bad mother cause im really not.
