My 14 year old daughter, whine I have a very open and close relationship as started to push boundaries. On the weekend she stole alcohol from our home supplies and took over some gin to a friends house to drink before they went to a party. She told me about it last night and was crying as she felt bad that she had stolen from me and that she might be disappointing me. She only told me because her friend told her mum and she was worried I would find out from her friend. I was unable to share with my mum when I was a teenager as I was worried she would be disappointed in me. I have always wanted to be the mum that my kids would come to and could feel comfortable with so I could help guide them. The problem is, although she told me about it, she has broken my trust and I can't condone under age drinking at this age. She is still too young. I am interested to hear How have other parents manages similar situations?
