I think that maybe you should have respected your inlaw's beliefs. You were living under their roof, right? "Their roof, their rules" sort of thing. What is it that you want advice on? Getting her parents to forgive you? Finding a place of your own?
Before my husband and I had our kids, we were guilty of letting our underage siblings drink with us. Looking back, I wonder what the heck was going through our heads at that time, but then again, we were younger, and didn't think a whole lot about it as we too had drank underage. Now, as a parent myself, I would never let anyone underage drink in my home. Funny how things change.
yeah, man, YOU fucked up. sorry. good luck finding a new home. where are you looking? riverside? there's some pretty nice places out there. they can be mighty affordable when you're not on the coast.
Yeah, regardless of whether or not you agree with their beliefs, you were living under their roof and should have therefore respected their beliefs. I know that as a teenager I would have loved someone buying me booze, but treating your in-laws beliefs on alcohol like they don't exist wasn't very respectful of you.
I just had a fit about a friend who is staying with us bringing over some local teens and giving them acohol. Sorry, But I told him if it happens again he'll have to find somewhere else to stay. As a parent I would not want someone to give my kids alcohol (or pot for that matter) If he wants a drink or a toke, I would rather it be with us, not the guy up the road. It does suck your M-I-L is being so negative about it. Chances are she will not be listening to you any time soon. I really don't know how to help you. Edit: It really wasn't so much about giving the kids alcohol, I got drunk as a teen, it was mostly that I had asked him NOT to bring them here and I felt really disrespected. It is my house, my rules.
If you're going to break the law, don't bring other people down with you. I don't know what it's like in California, but in New York, even though I'm not a minor, if I get drunk and get caught, my parents can still get into trouble. Law aside, it's not right to give other people's kids alcohol, especially if their parents are against it. That's just unethical. He's not your kid, you can't just decide what's right for him.
