[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I'm in the minority, but I do think you overreacted a bit. Sounds like he was drunk and being foolish/overly friendly. I would have simply placed myself between him and her, and said she doesn't want to dance, thanks anyway. If he didn't back off at that point, I might have pushed him though![/quote]

If she were older like 16 or 17 I could see this.  I think the fact the dd is just 11 led her to respond the way she did. [/quote]

I'd be more concerned if it were a 16 or 17 year old.  I could see an overly friendly drunk guy thinking the 11 year old wasn't having fun at an adult party and trying to make her dance to have fun.  Still completely inappropriate to grab her, but it could have been misguided trying to make her have fun.  Maybe the other people at the party saw this was the situation and thought OP was getting caught up in the #METOO movement and overreacting.  That could be the explanation of why she would lose friends.  Having said that, OP, it's your daughter and you can protect her as you see fit. [/quote]

Team OP. It is not a strange drunk man's responsibility to get a young tween girl to dance. It's none of his business. If my DD doesn't want to dance she is not going to placate some drunken fool so all the grown ups get to have fun and she doesnt. Mom taught DD No means no and the incredible strength of daring to go against the crowd/mood. I could care less about the poor adult male's hungover feelings the next day. Sure he meant no harm but Mom went with her gut instinct. Kudos to Mom.[/quote]
