[quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thank you for the thoughtful responses. I'll answer some of the questions. I know it's "common wisdom" that early social drinking takes away the taboo factor, however actual research I've seen shows the opposite, the earlier kids begin drinking, the more likely they are to binge and abuse. Which leads into another point. It is both a parenting decision and a liability issue. We travelled to Europe last summer, and dss requested and got a glass of wine with pretty much every dinner. Dh knows I didn't agree, but it was totally his call. Now, it's been a few times when we have other adults over, and a glass of wine is served. Especially if they bring their own kids. It makes me really uncomfortable to be one of the adults supplying. Finally, nope, Dh is from the US. It's not cultural. Finally, not going to die on the hill. It's just another dinner party tonight and I was debating even discussing it with dh. It's come up the last 3 or 4 times. [/quote]
