One of my friends has to watch his niece. If we just toss a few pops in with the beer, everything should be fine, right? When the game starts we can just leave her out at the car with whoever passed out. Sounds like a plan.

7. No way. Leave her in the car with whoever passes out?
Edited on Wed Sep-07-05 10:45 PM by tjdee
I wouldn't want my six year old around a bunch of drinking college kids...when she was three I think I would have had a heart attack if someone even suggested leaving her "out at the car with whoever passes out". Any number of things could happen.

I am a prude, but I don't think that's the best idea. It would be different if the uncle kept her with him at all times so that he can monitor what she's seeing/doing. Then it might be okay.

9. JVS said college...but if that's the case, they're grads....
that may be slightly better from a prudish parent perspective.

I would still be uncomfortable with leaving her out at the car with "whoever". She's only 3.
