4-Year olds accidentally served daiquiris in restaurant

**witchcurlgirl** · May 23rd, 2012, 01:44 PM

I'm calling my mom right now to rip her a new one for not being my official food taster when I was a child. Then I'm calling my therapist. Then possibly my attorney. What's the statute of limitations on poor parenting anyway?

Let me know what you find out. I may need to sue my Mom too. Then I'll have some extra cash for when my kid sues me.

I barely drink beer to this day after my dad let me have a sip of his Michelob when I was 9. I spat it out and said "How do people drink this crap?" and my dad said "Good answer!".

I didn't know that having Shirley Temples made my mama and papa egomaniacs either, so I guess I should!

I didn't even know what a Roy Rogers was until I opened this thread.

I believe my parents were hoping to get an after-school special made about our family based on their egocentric parenting.

My parents always let me try stuff if I wanted it. I got to have champagne on New Year's, wine on special occasions, etc from a very young age. I don't even know how old I was the first time I tried something alcoholic, I must have been very young. Maybe 5 or 6? It's not like I ever got drunk. I actually hated the taste of it! My dad gave me a sip of beer a few times and I thought it was the grossest thing ever

I still can't drink the stuff.

And guess what? I'm not an alkie. In fact, I've never been interested in alcohol much. It was never this mysterious forbidden thing. It was normal, if I wanted to try something I could always ask. I've never felt the need to run out and get smashed like some of my friends, nor did I ever sneak into the liquor cabinet.

I remember once I went over to this girl's house and she had managed to sneak some wine out of her parents' collection since she knew they were going to be out for a few hours. There were 3 or 4 of us there. She brought it out and we each drank about half a glass worth (out of teacups of all things

) They were making this huge fucking deal about it, as if we were shooting up heroin or something. It was beyond ridiculous.

I gave my 14 yr old a drink of my real daiquiri the other day, I'm looking forward to his lawyer calling any day now

My parents were! Yet, very uptight hippies if you can believe that!

I knew a guy that lived in a Teepee (friends w/my folks). A real, working/functioning teepee. He grew his own pot too. I saw TRASH BAGS FULL OF POT. He gave one of them to my brother and we thought we had hit the motherfucking load! Got home, smoked some....SUCKED. But we kept smoking it of course.

I will spare you the rest of the stories I have--but got some real winners I tell you.

I don't care what anyone does with their own kids, as long as they are not harming them. Virgin Daiquiri's at 4 yrs old--go for it. Ego or no ego!

My Dad used to give me sips of his beer (Genessee Cream Ale for all you East Coasters) and I fucking HATED it. Now, I love it. Go figure!

Still hate Brandy by the way.

I hear he's hired Gloria Allred.

My 7-year-old niece drinks Shirley Temples in restaurants all the time. Sounds like I need to call CPS on my sister.

My dad used to let me sneak sips of his beer all the time when I was younger (now I hate the stuff), I am very disappointed my father wasn't jailed for trying to corrupt me.

it's weird that the kid drank the whole thing without saying anything about the taste, don't kids usually hate the taste of alcohol (like some here have previously said)? and if it wasn't a strong one then why was he drunk?

i'm probably underestimating the effects alcohol has on children, but the last daiquiri i drank had very little alcohol in it.
