Oh Gayle! It was Boonsfarm Wild Mountain for me
 Janet, when my boys were that age they were living at college, but I had to teach them that my home was not their hotel! I didn't tell them what they could or couldn't do, but they had to have the courtesy to tell me when they would be gone and when they would be home. Raising boys to be responsible men is a chore, but it sounds like Ricky is doing fine with his choices. I love that he told you all about his night

Ricky is usually pretty open about telling me what's going on. I've told him ever since he was little that he may get a talking to, but if he always told me the truth, I'd never punish him, but if he ever lied to me...there would be hell to pay.
His Dad came home and we found out he called Ricky's friend behind Ricky's back today to find out what happened. That makes me so angry and I told him so. He can ask his son...not go behind his back. Such a freak'n jerk! I remember getting looped on Boonsfarms Strawberry wine....wow...what a headache....didn't do that again either.....well on wine anyway...lol.

It sounds like Ricky learned his lesson. However, watching his Dad should be lesson enough.
We never had a problem with drinking with our kids. I think that maybe one got drunk and another one drank some but we got off pretty easy. I asked an Aunt one time.....What she would do differently if she were raising her kids again? She told me that she would be up when they came home at night. So we were....usually. The kids never knew if we'd be up or in bed. They didn't want to have to face us if they'd been up to no good!! |

Well, he got that out of his system, didn't he? The sicker you get the first time you get drunk, the better off you will be later on!!!
He is a wonderful young man (can't say boy anymore), but I would sit him down and explain how nervous you get if he doesn't let you know his plans on coming home or not. You might want to add that even if he is not drinking and driving, other people are, and you need to know where he is spending the night. Well, congrats on his 21st Birthday!!!
