I am DISGUSTED by parents who make alcoholic drinks accessible and available to kids in their homes. Some kids try to out do each other with stories about stealing alcoholic drinks from home cabinets. Worst of all they mix the stuff with the soda or juice you buy and carry the same to school under your insensitive noses. Am talking about 8 to 15 yr olds in primary schools.It's rampant.Even the water they carry is not spared. I see parents make kids sip alcohol in entertainment zones and wonder. 'It won't cause any harm they claim'.Nonsense. When you see a std 4/5 kid with spiked juice and boasting about their parents drinking prowess I despair. Future drunkards in the making (nt the wazuan) Big Shame to all ye careless parents raising up alcoholics kids. Please be checking ur kids bags daily before they leave and stop ur alcohol drinking kids from spreading their habit to the innocent ones. nkt. "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

Why wait until you have to check the kids' pockets? This is treating the symptoms.
We had this talk once with some of my acquaintance. One of them boasted and said a glass of wine after dinner is harmless as long as you know what you're doing.
Keep away from children this "intoxicants and games of chance". They are "abominations of Satan's handiwork,".

Hey... I started drinking when I was 10yrs, I didn't have to really drink the fancy alcohol since my parents couldn't afford those kind, I mean I drunk the local stuff, we all knew where they kept the good stuff from the police, you know down by the river and we would steal, I drunk my way through Highschool.
I didn't turn out that bad, atleast I am better than 95% of Pastor's kids! Kid will find ways to be bad so don't point at alcohol, you never know what your kid is doing, no parent want their kid to carry alcohol to school, with me I would rather see an acohol drinking kid with As than a good kid with Cs!
They call me drunkard around here!

Roll out the kid in question is always top 3 in his class!! Brilliant kid.  What do you deduce? Checking the pockets prevents the vice from being spread to other kids.The habit is for the parent responsible to deal with. This kaboy carried 2 plastic bottles. One filled with h20 and the other spiked coke. and he boasted about it to his circle of friends. who also sipped. whtver.

@essyk you're portraying this in a manner to suggest that the content of "spiked" bottle is responsible for top-3 position. Do your math. How many of those who indulge early actually make it in life. It's a small percentage. Accidents, diseases, missing exams etc Look at @rollout for example he's now a single father ( I assume from his post Rollout), approaching 30, with no wife, due to his escapades, probably under the influence of the bottle. What we are saying is, at least avoid this thing and focus in what you're supposed to be doing at every stage of your life: 1. Baby - drink porridge & tit ti the mammary gland 2. Childhood - study and play 3. Teenage - study, play and make friends 4. Adulthood - career, make money, marry and enjoy sex legally and safely 5. Old age - be a once happy old man/woman with no peer pressure 6. Die (don't risk this at stage (2)) NOTE: @essyk no pun intended

What I thought was,the parents to this bright kid are satisfied/blinded with the results brought home and not the behaviour the kid is cultivating. Aren't most parents guilty of that anyway? And I guess this is rollout's reasoning- Performance not habit. I have seen bright kids lose it when they get to high school because the pressure becomes unbearable. Now if a std 5 can boast of drinking and the parents don't bother? Aren't these the same parents who take their kids to clubs and keep them till late. The kids are forced to play bouncing castle,sip alcohol,till it's time to go home. "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

@essyk
You're so worried about other people's kids, why care? Yes I am not a single father, my kid have an able mother and an able father it doesn't mean if you're not living with the woman you have a kid with make the situation a single parenting situations!
If the kid in doing well in school then he will out grow alcohol!

unfortunate everyone has a right to their own life and every parent have a right to bring up their kids however way they want, I bet you're the kind of parent who always blame other kids and by extention other parents for their own kids wrong doing....i.e my kid is alcoholic because another kid introduced or influence him/her to drink.

No am the type who sees a young school girl begging money from strangers to buy sweets,I stop her and explain to her in details why its wrong to do so. I don't care about the parent at this point. The parent will play her role in the house but once the kid is out in public,she/he becomes my responsibility as well. Sorry if I sound too old fashioned but that's what.

It does in the long run.There are things I really care less about so I stick to my world. But again I realise that humans just like animals are social beings and its some sort of an ecosystem out there. What I do on earth will eventually affect you positively or negatively whether you like it or not. We raise up irresponsible fellows and they will destroy/mismanage the very things we work hard to build today. That is how.

Equally disgusting are women who drink and/or smoke during pregnancy and lactation,what moral authority will they later have to advice their children on alcohols harmful effect. You will also find that these irresponsible parents are the ones who drink alcohol in front of their children and give them to sip. These children will later experiment and pick up the habit-kids are very impressionable.

Just teach your kids well. There was alcohol freely accessible in our house and none of us touched it. Kama mtoto wako ni mkora, look at how you raised them. In a place where thought is abandoned, freedom can become a curse.

In primary school i had a friend who used to do the same...carry spiked drinks to school,he even evolved into carrying kibuku at that time it was in a plastic bottle...and he was extremely bright and from a well to do family...fast forward to some few year back when I met him...a drug addict taking the real heavy stuff.heroin,coke etc sold almost everything at their home.lets face it the earlier your kid starts doing this funny stuff the easier it will be him or her to become a mess... Its a free willed society do your own things but make sure your ready to face the consequences... possunt quia posse videntur

Alcohol was freely available in our homestead since I was a toddler. I did take a sip when I was about seven years old and did not like the taste. I have a sweet tooth. I am a teetotaler today. My brothers and sisters are moderate drinkers though. In view of the above, consumption and abuse of alcohol in my experience, is a personal choice no matter how one is brought up. Cannabis sativa. Now that is a story for another thread.

As a parent,do your best to bring up your kid the best way possible.Do not compare yourself with your child when it comes to morals and character,they will grow up to be their own beings.Keep alcohol away from kids and talk to them about alcohol abuse,so that if they end up drunkards whether bright in school or not they will not blame you for the misgivings that may arise due to their alcoholism.With threads like this we should not be vague about it ,if not us our children and friends and others will be affected by your child if they end up a drunkard(drug abuse)in the future.It may even affect you directly.
Thats my view.
