Ill be 18 oct. 27
I work with this girl that is throwing a halloween party and she told me that i deff have to be there and i have to wear a costume. Well i asked my dad if he could bring to the costume shop and he said "why?" I told him that my friend invited me to a party. He said is there going to be parents. Her parents are not going to be there because she is married and only 19. So he said theres going to be alcohol. Iknow there is going to be alcohol and i told him that. But the thing is i don't drink and i dont plan on it till im 21. So hes making a big deal out of me going to this party. Ill be 18 and im old enough to make my own decisions but he just doesnt understand that.
What i dont understand is that he'll let me go and hang out with alot of people over 21 and they are guys at the bowling alley and they drink while they bowl. But hes making a big deal out of this party.
I guess my question is how do i get him to leave the situation alone and stop attacking like im some stupid teenager that doesnt know how to control herself around alcohol or my own friends.
thank you.
*** other questions like this you guys just tell them to show them your responsible by cleaning. thats not what i want to hear.

I don't think there really is a way to get your father to leave the subject alone. I mean your his daughter, and he's just worried about you.
If I were a parent I would be more worried about the party than the bowling because at parties thats where sex and other bad things happen, and nothing bad is really going to come from bowling and plus, there's a bunch of other kinds of people around you (adults) so if something WERE to happen at bowling, somebody'd notice.
I would talk to your father about it and explain that you're not going to drink until you're 21 and you're just going there to have fun and hang around with your friends. Even try and make a deal with him that if he feels that uncomfortable with everything, he can call you every hour or so and check up on you and listen to see if you're alright and everything and if you don't sound drunk.
Also let him know that this is a good opportunity to show him that you are a responsible adult and that he can trust you whenever you want to go out places.
I hope I helped.

You won't get him to leave it alone because he is just being a good father. I know that isn't the answer you are seeking but that is probably how it will turn out.
A public place like a bowling alley, where he knows they won't serve alcohol to minors is MUCH different from a private party where alcohol is being served.
Your friend while 19 and married is still immature enough to think that having a party with alcohol and minors is okay. Believe me, if the party gets a little loud and police get involved they will go to jail for serving alcohol to minors...including your friend. The legal drinking age is 21 and being married does not change that.
You also have to have your father take you to a costume store which shows you are immature for being 18...or almost as well.
I think you dad is doing a good job. :)

He's just worried about you. He just doesn't want you to go off and do something stupid even though you probably won't.
And a party and a Bowling ally is way different because at a bowling ally is public while a party is more exclusive.
I know how you feel and it sucks alot but he's just worried. I wouldn't plan on sneaking out because if they caught you it's more trouble than ever!I'd know...
But yeah for now it's a party when your actually 18 go off to all the parties you want but for now just sit back or the trouble will just get bigger.
