This is my daughter trying to sneek up on mommy and daddy's beers just now. CRACKED ME UP!! And no, I didn't let her drink any! But boy did she get mad when we took the bottle away. Can we say future alcoholic anyone?

The first pic is of her trying to get my beer, and when I took it away, she went for daddy's in pic 2.

This sorta demonstrates why I plan on quitting drinking when I have kids. I don't want my kids growing up around alcohol and cigarettes thinking they are acceptable. Its even worse if the parent can handle each in moderation because it will only encourage the kid to think of them as safe.

well, if you drink now, do you not consider your drinking safe?

my experience was quite the contrary. we were raised around alcohol never being anything special. if we asked for it at home when we were in junior high my parents gave it to us (and then we learned that we hated it at such a young age). alcohol was never something abused in our family and we always respected it as a beverage to be enjoyed but not overused. i think having a home void of all alcohol leaves some mystery to it and may encourage experimentation later.

My parents stopped drinking after their divorce (correction, my mother and step father stopped drinking) and I have NO desire whatsoever to drink, in fact seeing all the drunks on both sides of my family just reaffirms that decsion.

I have to agree. When I was growing up (from age 5 on up) everyone was allowed to have a small glass of wine with dinner if they wanted it. By small I mean like half of a dixie cup full. Alcohol was no big deal when I got older. Different things work for different people and this worked for my family.

I know my limits and I trust myself not to do stupid stuff like drive. I don't trust ANYONE else to know their own limits or to not do stupid stuff like drive. I will never err on the side of trusting other people when it comes to alcohol, and my kids will be no exception.

It goes both ways, you can parent your kids super liberally or super strict, both have pros and cons. What I do know, is that there are no "pros" attached to having your kids grow up seeing you staggering drunk and teaching them that is acceptable behavior. And, in my opinion, there is nothing worse a parent can do than use the "do as I say, not as I do" parenting method.

agreed. but i think there's a massive difference between that and having my kids see me drink a glass of wine with dinner and a beer while watching a game at the neighbor's. heck, even my wife has never seen me staggering drunk.

now, getting your kids staggering drunk so you can sit back and watch... that's good clean fun. and cheap! and keeps em quiet the next morning. lots and lots of pros attached to that one...









anyway. yes, you want your kids to stay off the sauce. not getting drunk around them is a good idea. keeping all traces of alcohol out of your house doesn't really add anything. what counts is how they see you handle alcohol, and how you talk to them about it. if they see that you must crack a beer at 6 PM (or 9 PM, or whenever) every night, bad. if they see that anything fun must involve alcohol, bad. if they see that alcohol in moderation is acceptable but not necessary, that's a good start. then, you have to figure out what kind of pressures their friends are putting on them and tailor your talking to them to their particular friends and their own personalities. and it should always start with good, solid facts, like "if i catch you with a beer, we're sending you to work in the factory instead of college." then, you make them drink an entire six pack so they puke. problem solved. parenting is easy. and fun!

Keep alcohol out of the house? Doesn't that just entice the "forbidden fruit" syndrome?

My parents drank rarely...just for social occasions (4-5 times a year) and it wasn't even "drunk" drinking...just a little wine or a beer. They sat me down at one age and told me the effects of alcohol and the consequences. Now, as I grew up, I rarely ever drank. I've never gotten a buzz and I've never been "trashed" or "drunk". We buy a 12 pack of Smirnoff about 3 times a year.

I don't think I'm going to have any problem with my kids being big drinkers. I think you only have problems if you drink too much, or not at all. Either one, they want to do it too.

i don't think you have to parent kids super liberally or super strict when it comes to alcohol. teach them to respect it, and set a good example as such - that's all.

i had a gf whose parents were strict non-imbibers, and she knew she'd be severely punished if she was caught drinking. guess who was always passed out at parties? yeh, her. i don't think that parenting that way really worked in that case. she got caught, got punished, and eventually ran away from home. her relationship with her parents was a non-relationship.
food for thought Canta... or maybe it's drink...
