, my parents didn't know. That is...until that night I snuck in at 5:30, had sand stuck in my hair, and had only one shoe on, and I had lost my glasses. I was 17.

I'm surprised I'm the only one to respond (yet) that my Mom bought me alcohol. By the time I was 19, she had bought or given me alcohol, pot, acid, 'shrooms, coke, meth, and nitrous oxide. The only thing off limits was tobacco. Go figure.
My wife says it's amazing that I didn't turn out effed up. I told her I am effed up, just not as bad as I could be.

Done.pixiegirl said:Talk about mixed signals.... We (my brother and I) were allowed to drink and whatnot at my parents house, she'd even provide and allow our friends to drink BUT she was on me like white on rice when I left the house and would have freaked had she caught someone elses' parents doing what she did so in that regard I had to sneak around. She's medicated and better now.
Why didn't you answer the poll that way?
My mom knew I was throwing them back like water from a tap. She just said to be careful and be smart. I was neither....I was lucky.

I spent half of my senior year grounded, including right after prom missing the senior trip to Great Adventure...and the 2 weeks that followed due to being caught partying, being where I wasn't supposed to be, talkin back to Ma, etc.
I was never "caught" drinking though, 'cept for the one time that she was in Florida with my grandparents and other family, and left the house in my care.
That was a duzy...cops, lawyers, court hearings, hospital visits, almost sued... *whew*
There was even one time, when she HAD to have known, but let me go. I walked in the door and fell flat on my face. Blamed in on extreme allergy reaction to my friends cat and went to bed. I had a tough time explaining the scratches on my face and my brothers bent up 15 spd bicycle, but I got through it. :shrug:

my parents were the same way, i was allowed to drink at the house w/ my friends under their supervision (so i wasn't drinking and driving or w/ someone who was)pixiegirl said:Talk about mixed signals....

Mom would've killed me.
Dad, let me drink at home. I only got to see him a few weeks a year and it was 1100 miles from home, so I didn't know anyone to party with. I don't know what he would've said :shrug:
I didn't party until I left home, so I guess it doesn't matter anyway.

(retraction to previous post)Cowgirl said:I was a good girl. I never drank, snuck out, skipped class, or anything in high school.
I was the opposite. However, I found out a few years later that my parents pretty much knew all that was going on. They figured after six kids <--me being the sixth, there wasn't much I could do that had not been done before. But I wasn't boldly disrespectful, or even bad actually. A couple of siblings were (are) Satan's spawn, so the bar for deviant and disturbed was set pretty high.

I was a wild child. I had no supervision from my parents from the time I got out of diapers. Dad was a alcoholic and mom was never home - always working. I took care of myself. Then, all of a sudden, when I was 14, my parents wanted to control my every waking moment. Well, I would have none of that. I went out whenever I pleased and partied. When I got home, my mom would cry (that's her favorate thing to do to try and make you feel guilty) and my dad would turn into a raging lunatic and we would scream and fight and then he'd ground me for months on end, but the next night I'd just go right out again. They knew I partied, but hated every minute of it and didn't condone it in the least.
Now I'm all grown up and a good girl.

Mom and Dad were divorced. Mom knew I partied. She never caught me, but she knew. This is why I was not allowed to get my license until I was almost 18. Thanks Mom, I love you!

You shouldn't have left me unsigned karma accusing me of being a woman hater. You just started a war.

I didn't get caught when I was a teen. Bonfire and drinking in the woods then sleepover friend's house. It was too easy for us but we had to sneak though and it has to be done in a 'circle of trust' ( no tattletale a.holes). That was before 1984 when M.A.D.D. and other "must-be-legal-age-to-buy" crap stuff happens.

I was caught a time or two but was one of those kids that never really broke any other rules so I got in trouble when caught but nothing too major. I do think that they had a clue that I would drink when I went out with my friends but they never questioned it and I never volunteered to tell them so I choose the first option.
