Today, I was telling my teenage daughter about the effects from alcohol, and how she should not give in to peer pressure. While talking, I noticed that she was looking at me funny. There was a wine glass in my hand. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my 3 year-old toddler wanted to try my wine. I kept telling her it’s adult juice and she wouldn’t like it. When she kept bugging me about it I gave in, and gave her a tiny sip. She liked it, and continued to bug me about it even more. FML
Today, my child's kindergarten teacher told me that my child said, "My mom drinks wine and lays down." I don't drink alcohol, although at times I drink juice in a wine glass. I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm an alcoholic. FML
Today, while we were at a work party, I noticed a drunk lady in the mix. I pointed out to my boss how dumb she looked. It was his daughter. FML
Today, I met my girlfriend's mom. She went on about how my girlfriend's dad is a no good drunk, following this statement with spilling her fifth glass of wine. FML
Today, I caught my 14-year-old daughter stealing alcohol from me. After berating her for half-an-hour I finally said, "At least you're not doing drugs." She gave me a guilty smile and sheepishly said, "At least I'm not a prostitute?" FML
Today, my mother woke me up by putting a beer on my face. After 15 minutes of her telling me to "just take a sip" and me rejecting it, I finally did just to shut her up. She then yelled at me for giving in to "peer pressure". FML
Today, I was at home, my mom came and saw me holding what she thought was a glass of beer. She took the glass, threw it and slapped me for drinking it. I was drinking Apple Juice. FML
Today, my drunken mother told me I'm just like my father and that I don't give a fuck about her. She's living in my home and drinking my wine. FML
Today, my 11-year-old cousin walked up to me as I was enjoying a glass of wine with friends at my mother's birthday party. Thinking she wouldn't like it anyway, I let her try. The little fucker drank the entire glass in one go, adding, "Usually, daddy gives me vodka." Good to know what my family is up to. FML
Today, my daughter’s teacher tried to inconspicuously slide me a pamphlet for AA. When I asked her why, she told me that my daughter shared with the class that “Mommy drinks funny stuff from a bottle every single night and it tastes real bad!” Kombucha. I drink kombucha. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

**** everyone who's insulting the OP's parenting. Unless the OP abuses alcohol (there is no solid indication she does), there's nothing wrong with her parenting. The daughter is underage, the OP is not.

Exactly. Do you drink that much that you don't even realise when you are drinking anymore?!

First off, you are awesome if you carried through the argument. second, explain the legality, or use the wine glass as an example. but the guy above me really captured the essence of what i was trying to say.

That's precisely why you're telling her what you are. If she can't understand the concept of "drinking responsibly," then of course she's gonna think that you're a hypocrite. She's trying to make a correlation based on a stupid assumption. You did the right thing. There's no reason that you should have to give up alcohol unless you're an alcoholic or your daughter is pilfering it. Of course, tact would've helped since your daughter's obviously a boob, so YDI.

why is her daughter"obviously" a boob?

K, I don't see why this is such a big deal, it's not like you were chugging a two-sixer whole talking o her, you were just enjoying a glass of wine. You and your daughter should just get over it, and if she can't, she probs won't be much use to society anyways, so she might as well have fun and drink all she wants.

Well, this all depends really. What was the mother trying to teach her kid, here? Responsible drinking, or abstainal? If it is the former, well, perhaps she should offer her kid a taste of her wine? Not to get her drunk, just so she can try the taste in a controlled environment, and making it less of a forbidden fruit. Parents binge drinking is not good for the kids, obviously, but if they can see their parents using alcohol responsibly, taking a single glass to dinner, for instance, then that could teach them it's just another drink.
