Dd (13) went to a birthday party on Saturday night for a girl she's friends with in her year (8) at school.
There was about 13 girls there and the mum was there too.
I picked her up about 9.30 and she told me the mum had got some alcohol free Prosecco for them. Dd said she had tried it but it was horrible so discreetly left it on the table.
It's been playing on my mind and just doesn't sit right with me giving children that young alcohol free Prosecco.
I'm the daughter of an alcoholic so sometimes things can be a little triggering for me so not sure if I'm being over the top.
Is it like like trying makeup out? Trying to look grown up maybe? I'm just not sure.
I have older teens who have been allowed to drink around us after around 16/17 so I'm not anti alcohol and drink myself.
What do you think I'm I just being stupid?

Urgh.
Early intro to the toxic mummy wine culture.

I'm surprised how many people would be upset by this. What if they made and drank mocktails?

Even when you buy alcohol free in shops, you need to be over 18
Well apple juice, orange squash and milk are alcohol free. Surely you should need id to buy them then?
