[quote=Anonymous]My only issue is punishing her for something if you haven’t sat down groundrules before. If you just expected her to know that drinking at a party, then calling you to pick her up is a punishable offense, I don’t agree with having a punishment. Now am I excusing the behavior? No do I obviously know that this is illegal behavior? Yes. But the fact that your kid called you or how do you pick her up anyway means she has a level of comfort, knowing it’s not gonna be punitive if she needs help. I would use this opportunity to talk to her about the dangers of alcohol, drunk, driving, getting in a car with anyone after any number of drinks, no matter how long ago that first drink was, and set expectations. Then if she breaks your house rules, it’s a punishable offense. [/quote]
