is it trashy ...?

To let your preschooler help you make mixed alcohlic drinks with a blender? I.E. Kid helps smash ice, puts it in blender, puts in fruit. Adult puts in liquor. Kid turns on blender. Kid, of course, doesn't drink any.

Re: is it trashy ...?

  • I don't think so.
  • It could be downright educational so of course it isn't trashy. 

    Until they tell their preschool teachers that mommy needs help with her blender drinks.  :)

  • I'm sure there is some uptight ninny on here that feels it is.  I'm not that person!  :)
  • No. ETA: considering I let mine taste mine once ... I'm not the one to ask. Don't all run call CPS at once.

  • Is it trashy that my DD like to drink "white beer" (aka milk) with dinner? (She also drinks "white coffee" with breakfast.)

    No, I don't think it's trashy to help make alcoholic drinks.

  • Not in my opinion. I routinely use DD as my helper and my beer runner.

  • OMG!!! I can't believe you all! That is the worst thing!  You all should be reported and have your children taken away!

    ok- seriously I am soooo just kidding... But you know there probably is some A-holey B-witch thinking that. *snicker*

    So not me though. I also think it is harmless. I would even let my kids have a matching non-alcholic one too (umbrella and all!)

    I also don't see anything wrong with a sip here and there for the kiddos. We're Catholic so once they get of age for 1st communion they will even get a sip of wine at Church.

    I firmly believe if drinking is demystified then once they are teens/young adults they will more likely drink responsibly instead of go crazy.

    I, however, won't actually supply my underage kids with alcohol to 'party' with, but if we are having a nice dinner wine then I don't see a problem with them having a little bit (sip while young, I could go half a glass at 14-15 yrs old)

    Don't report me either! LOL

  • nope. DD has helped me before w/ making them, she loves crushing up the ice.

  • I can't wait until she is old enough to make them for me on her own. Stick out tongue

    Kidding because I don't drink, but my little brother actually did used to make all the alcoholic blended drinks at family get togethers when he was in high school.  He'd make non-alcoholic for the kids, too.

  • SOOOOO trashy.  So trashy.

     

    ... just don't look at my sig, okay?
