[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I highly doubt dad didn't know they were drinking.

And neither I or any of my siblings or any of our friends ever brought alcohol into our house. It is possible to raise kids that respect their parents and the house rules or to at least fear the repercussions to the point they they comply. [/quote]
Raise a teenager.  Then check back.  [/quote]

I do raise teens - through fostering. Not my own kids but still have experience raising teens. Of course nothing I say will matter as you already know for 100% that ALL teens will sneak in alcohol based on how you have raised your own kids - what you don't realize is that not all parents raise kids the way you do. It is the same as parents who say I let my kids have sex in my house because ALL teens have sex or ALL teens will drink and drive or ALL teens will do x or y. This black and white perspective shows ignorance that not all teens are identical and that not all parents raise teens to act the same way. It also ignores stats that show that not all kids drink/get drunk/have sex in high school. those kids have parents too - who have raised them to have different values, beliefs, morals, priorities etc..and hence different actions.[/quote]
