My parents have let me have at least a little bit of alcohol when they've been drinking since I was about 14. After I turned 18, they started letting me have a glass. Which is legal in MD; an immediate family member can give you alcohol as long as they don't get you drunk. I think it actually benefited me because my parents knew I had the fascination with alcohol that comes from being related to my mom's side of the family, and because I was allowed to drink at home, drinking illegally was never even tempting for me. And once I turn 21 in 8 weeks, they'll be confident that I will be able to drink and know what I'm doing.

Your parents had the same approach as mine. As kids, we were always allowed to have a little, if we wanted it. You see, that's why I hardly drink at all as an adult. It was never "forbidden" to us as kids (as long as we were with our parents), so when the legal drinking age came about, and all my other friends went crazy over booze, I was always the sober one. I used to just sit back and watch them, and think, "What's the big deal about all this?"

@figmentfan423 , Figgy, I hope I didn't miss your birthday. Was it yesterday? I'm sorry, but I can't keep up with this thread lately with my work and lengthy commuting schedules during the week. It's not the number of people on here, it's the number of posts. I think it's turning into more of a daytime members thread.

Good Morning!

My mom always offered a taste if she had a wine cooler or something, but I had been through D.A.R.E. and I was very black and white about the law back then. In Wyoming, you can't give alcohol to minors, even your own children and I think there is a proximity law about minors not being allowed within so many yards of a place where Alcohol is served or something. Anyway, I was offended that my mom would break the law, even though it was just a sip. But now that I'm older, I'm not so rigid about those things and the drinking age here is either 16 or 18. I know it was 16 when I moved here, but there was talk about raising it to 18 and I'm not sure whether they did or not. But like you said, kids are kind of raised with it and it's not as much of a taboo. It does get pretty bad at clubs though.

I might have join a website called i love your accent (typical of me though)

I hear you I still haven't found a new bathing suit for my trip. All I want is something that covers enough so that my boys don't mind being seen with me at the water parks. Not way too expensive and cute all at the same time.

Yep, been looking for a new suit as is my DD. I usually buy separates with blue or black. The Top is always a Tankini that goes slightly longer than the waist and covers the chest well, not fun to get burnt there. I've done both skirt and running short styles for bottom but prefer the short shorts of the skirt version.

What I hate about swimwear is it never runs anywhere near the size that it marked. Think that is why the smallest women's size in most department stores start at size 8 vs smaller.

How can you all tell when someone has a birthday?? I feel really stupid that I don't know this as you all seem to be able to keep track.
Happy Birthday, @figmentfan423! I hope it's a great day and I'm sorry if I'm a day late!

Thank you very much and I miss seeing you around here! Hopefully we can catch up more often

I really want a swim dress for water parks, less chance of wardrobe malfunction LOL. I'm also somewhat vertically challenged and am having no luck in my size. I am feeling a bit tall at 64 inches here It seems the only way to get coverage is the tankini route and I don't want to give up yet. I found one really cute one but it didn't come in my size. Hopefully I'll be able to find something before I go. To think I thought jeans shopping was bad

Thank you, we just let each other know.

Is this still considered a spoiler 2+ mos. later...?

Only for people that have spent the last 2+ months with their heads stuck in the sand. Besides, although, it was probably a strong hint, I never said any detail. Believe me if I know what has happened, me, the person that never goes to movies, then fans already know anyway.

 

[Goofyernmost]

And then there were two.


Both my kids had pretty spectacular 21st Birthdays. Still all and all my DD liked her sweet 16th more, I took her to WDW. Thinking it was our best Thanksgiving ever.

I turned 21 in Vietnam. The ones since then have been pretty good. That one I prefer not to think about.

My boys weren't sure about going to Turtle Talk but now they want to go!

I was surprised when my DS took me into Turtle Talk when he was doing the College Program. It was a good group of kids/adults. I have found Turtle experience to greatly vary by parents. Wish they would know if their kid should stay with them in seat or sit on floor. If kid bolts or object to being alone on floor wish they'd be considerate and just keep the kid with them.

 

[Gabe1]

Perhaps you're pregnant?

Ha!

@catmom46 I hope you have a fun weekend planned!
