You were RAK'ed in 2015.
I would assume that in her part, she would be justifying her own opinion. It makes it so much easier to condemn others who have a differing opinion to our own.
Dianne, I understand where you are coming from (well from what I have seen in your posts anyhow!) We dont have alcohol in our home, and DH and I are both on the path that we will not let our children drink before the legal age.
But as PZ has already said, each home is different and that should be respected to.
As parents we all try to make the best decisions for our own families and we shouldnt use our judgements to condemn another family because they do things differently to us.

Ahhh DS, that's not a friend. And in all seriousness, drinking when supervised at home, if it were a drink with supper, it wouldn't help in a party situation without parental supervision. I was allowed to sip alcohol from an early age, I still went out and got hammered at the first opportunity.

I was brought up drinking and guess what - drunken teen here too. Lack of alcohol at home doesn't make a drunken teen.
And it doesn't matter if I choose to (legally) allow my child alcohol in my home or not - if you don't for whatever reason then respect to you. Just as I would expect you to respect my decision. And if my DS got drunk at a party he'd be told off, just as yours would. Drinking a wine with dinner isn't the same as getting drunk and shouldn't ever be considered the same.

Exactly that... makes me wonder if perhaps she is trying to justify her own actions, by criticising yours?
