[quote=Anonymous]I do. Mine is 17 and sometimes I can tell she’s been drinking but she keeps it together enough to fake it so I feel like this is a win. The goal is learning moderation. At 15 yes I’d be having some conversations. But she let you pick her up (or did she ask?) so I’d hesitate to punish too hard bc you don’t want her to not feel okay calling you. I’d tell her you are shelving the consequence conversation for a day or two while you think about it, take her to lunch today and have a heart to heart about her friends, social scene, maybe some alcohol lectures about what can happen when drunk especially to teen girls. Starting with the punishment convo sets her up to view the situation in the lens of parent dispute but doesn’t help her reflect on the nuances of the danger of the actual situation she was in.
