I'd definitely address it - but I'd go outside of FB to do so.

Agreed. I'm starting to think that Facebook is the window to the world for anyone stupid enough or arrogant enough to assume that the world gives a damn about what they ate for breakfast or how drunk they got last night. Same for Twitter.

Its a mom to mom kind of issue.

This.

If your wife said she was going to handle it, let her. Just ask to be updated and find out how the conversation went. If it happens again, you go knock on their door and do your thing.

Unacceptable. Offering alcohol to nine year olds? Who the hell does that? Call the police.

Talk to the woman rationally, first. It's possible that they made some regular jello for the girls and were just playing around. I remember my aunt serving us champagne when we were that age and watching us get "drunk" off of sparkling grape juice.

I guess that is entirely possible, but we do as we see, and I don't think it is apropriate to do that in front of little girls. For right now, I'm letting mom handle it, but I'm pretty pissed off and don't think women handle things the way they need to be handled all the time.

Free advice, conversation should have these bullet points;

- What you did was wrong
- Don't ever do it again
- If you do and I find out I'm calling the cops.

BTW, not being a parent, I asked a co-worker what she would do in this situation. Basically said this, nearly word for word. She added "tell her what I think of her" to the first point.

She also brought up talking to the mother to make sure that there wasn't more to the story (i.e. the point that maybe there were some jello shots made without alcohol that they would playfully offer to the girls).

Also, she said that she would not go to the police or other parents. She would handle based solely on her own daughter. Had they been drinking Jack or something and trying to get the girls to drink it, then she said it would be a whole other story.

1. Handling things when you "pretty pissed off" typically is not a good choice. You're a man. Shouldn't you do the logical thing?

2. When handling things like this with a woman, I'd let the woman of the house handle it. You're a "pretty pissed off" father, but she's a fellow mother. I'm sure you and your wife both have what's best for your little girl in mind. I'd let her handle it this time.

I whole-heartedly agree with KC Lee (what you did was wrong, don't let it happen again, and if it does the cops will be called).

That would be assumption. That they had regular Jello for kids.

Although, I don't know why you'd want to be drinking and doing jello shots in front of a bunch of kids anyway.

Let your do the talking but be there when the conversation occurs. This is your child and you get a say in how this is resolved.

But, and most importantly, praise your daughter for doing the right thing as KCUnited said. Sounds like you are raising a good kid there tooge. Her choice should be praised by you and her mom.

thank you. That is the plan. I am going to sit down with her tonight and have a chat about it and how the other mother made a mistake (and should be choked out) and that she did the right thing.

This place is slipping.

Get the mother in a private location and PIIHB.

That or antifreeze.
