ladyram Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I introduced my daughters friend (who's 13) this morning to the dark and dangerous world of coffee :eek: her pops doesn't let her have any because of the caffeine (not because of an allergy or anything though) her parents are religous folks from what I can gather and have rather different views to mine. Anyways, she wanted to try it and I asked her how her olds would feel about it to which she replied - well, they're not here are they? Wasn't sure what to do, she knows her own mind afterall so I let her have some. It was only half a cup of coffee but I feel bad now, hope she doesn't ask me for another cup. Here's me thinking I was a responsible parent...:frown: Been bothering me all day, am I bad? or is this all a storm in a coffee cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex W Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 The very fact that someone has banned their daughter from drinking coffee is absoloute lunacy and these people deserve a slap. Give the girl another cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hucknall Ram Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 To be honest, what's stopping her going to starbucks. If you didn't do it, someone else would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbiean Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Banned from drinking coffee?? Whats wrong with these people lol, if the young girl wants to drink it then i'd say thats her decision not her parents, believing in god(s) doesn't give them the right to be control freaks.

ladyram Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 That's kind of what I thought too. She isn't allowed to go to Starbuck's either though, or to have a Coke. Feel a bit sorry for her actually. I suggested to her to maybe ask her olds to buy in decaff stuff but she didn't know what decaff meant, poor love.

MrsRam Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 It's always stressful when you have someone else's kids, but ladyram, you seem to have had a 'quaker' kid - as long as she (he) aint allergic to owt - it's fine. My daughters best mate has a peanut allergy - now that's when I panic. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lyndsey Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 aww poor girl coffee has nothing on a redbull MrsRam its hard what to give isnt it my youngest had coeliacs disease and a nut allergy i need about a full day when i go shopping to check everything before i buy it. she never gets invited out anywhere tho as her friends parents say they are petrified of giving her things they shouldnt :frown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsRam Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Yes Lyndsey, it's whatever your used to. She's got a pen thingy, which she knows to use - but she's a teenager, so I have this vision that she's going to just keel over anytime, without knowing. I sit looking at her, and she glares at me, and my daughter glares at me, and I'm like.......Everyone OK? (high pitched voice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plan B Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I wasn't allowed coke for a bit, when I was like 5 - 10. Can see why they don't want her to have it but it would piss me off being with people that are religious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving her coffee without adding a couple of whisky measures to it is just selfish! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Just wait for when the kid argues with the parents about not having coffee, and she screams "well LadyRam *obviously she wouldn't have shouted this name, unless she is known as LadyRam in real life?* let me have it! In fact she lets me have anything I want!" Turn your phone off Missus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyram Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 You'll burn in hell ladyram, for all eternity, at quite high temperatures. Aye - straight to hell for me then :D at least I'll be warm, can't stand the cold To Lynds and Mrs - your predicaments must be very tricky and I really sympathise with you both :frown: I can relate to the high pitch voice though. My daughters mate stayed the night and after a lecture this morning at 3.35 after they'd woke us up yacking, they trooped off to bed with a cup of tea each. I couldn't be arsed saying owt though, I was too knackered but enquired in said voice this morning after I dared stick my head around the door.. In the nursery where I work, there's a little un who's diabetic and the nursing staff have gone into panic overdrive if his bloods are anything other than spot on and fret like mad over wether or not to give him an apricot :eek: you can hear the tone of their voices getting higher too. Do men suffer from this same affliction I wonder? Or is it just a woman thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
