Answer by amg
I think this is not only ignorant, it’s illegal.
This will not teach children anything, but that it’s okay to drink, as long as you’re with your parents, which will lead to children thinking it’s okay to drink without them.
What do you think? Answer below!

I like to mix white wine in with my son’s milk, so I have my wife drink a bottle of wine every night.
If they do not drive it is fine, and yes it does. my family did and i have never gotten drunk nor has my brother or anyone else i go to school with that drank with their parents.
my roommates family was more strict he can go into a drunk rage.
my friends family was very strict he wound up half dead at 12:00 on his 21st after drinking most of a large bottle of JD.
in my life i have found the more strict you are with booze the more you kids want it and when they are 21 they will buy the amount they want
People in Europe do that so the kids don’t end up as binge drinkers. It’s actually a lot classier than playing Flip Cup/Beer Pong/etc. with the goal to get as drunk as possible.
it ok for us teen to take a sip just so you don’t get the desire to drink and to let them taste it and so when the go to the party they also don’t have the will to try to drink because they already tried it once
THIS IS VERY BAD BECAUSE THERE TO YUNG TO DRINK BEER IT’S A VERY BAD HABIT BEC THEN THEY GET VER ADDICTIONG TO IT
its a really good idea
my mom is french and my sister and i have grown up on wine
there is nothing wrong with alcohol if you know how to handle it
it might be illegal but it doesnt mean its ignorant
just look at europe the drinking age is way lower
and they dont have nearly the drinking problem we do
why???
because their parents taught them moderation
I think its ignorant and trashy for a parent to drink with their underage kid. When I was a teenager I thought that parents were cool who let us drink and would party with us. Now that Im an adult and a parent I see that only a trash parent would drink with their underage kid. How could that possibly teach a responsible drinking habit? If you’re drinking with your kid you have a problem. What people do behind closed doors is their business but I wont be partying with my teenage kids. And I would hope that their friends have parents that are responsible and not trash.
It’s irresponsible and a better practice would certainly be to set a good example for children through your drinking habits. Until they are 21 I won’t allow it just as my parents did. They drink wine from a chalice at church but its a minor sip and the church buys the cheap stuff, lol.
i think it’s totally up to the parents- i personally would let my kids have a drink with me when they are older (at least 14-15) i think it’s important that kids get to try it at home and know the effects it has on them so that they can learn to be responsible with it rather than going out and experimenting behind their parents backs.
That said i would get rolling drunk with my kids ut i would let them sample a small amount of alcohol so that they can understand what it is like and feel the effects of it.
I assume you’re talking about the “cool parents.” You know those who hold underage drinking parties illegally supplying alcohol to underage kids. This is in no way right. I don’t care if it is dad and son sharing a sip of beer or prom night complete with a keg. It’s irresponsible and illegal. There is a reason that drinking age is 21. You can teach your kids to be responsible about it without getting the liquored up first. And when you think about it that is a complete oxymoron, you’re teaching them to be responsible by being irresponsible???
It helps show the kids an example of responsible drinking habits, so long as they aren’t driving anywhere afterwards of course.
