It is difficult to guide children not to do what you do. Personally, I never drink at home and at functions like marriage even though I have no children. So, hardly anyone knows that I drink even occasionally. If some one drinks at residence, he cannot guide his children will not to drink, especially when they grow up.

I feel your advice is okay. When somebody has tradition of drinking at home, grown up children should be allowed drink at home.

I have a perfect rapport with my only daughter her hubby and my little kiddo. In fact we are like a well organised unit.

Thats great sunil, same here, I and my 3 children are more like friends.They share everything with me and I in turn look up to them on most issues since I find that they are able to advise me or at least talk things out when I am in a spot..

It happens with every growing kid but what we must do is to continuously talk to them like a friend and should not be too strict that he/she may not get a space to live. :blink: I have observed it that the parents who are more strict towards their kids, their kids only most of the time do the things which they ask them not to do. :blink: :blink:

They would feel their responsibility only if they shall be treated at par. They are all equal once they reach a certain mental standard, even minors have their own personality.
