I seriously wonder if SD20 has any functioning cells in that "brain" of hers
So she is driving down to our neck of the woods to stay in a hotel DH is paying for. What does she post online publicly? A photo of the cooler full of alcohol she and her friend are bringing along. Considering that it is on ice and it is a 5-hour drive, I am guessing she and friend plan to be drinking while they are driving. SD is underage, so alcohol consumption is illegal last time I checked, AND last time I checked it was also illegal to drive around with an open container of alcohol? What. An. Idiot.

Her dad just gave her money
Her dad just gave her money for this trip, with the caveat that she NOT use it to buy alcohol. I make the leap because she has the cooler IN the car, not the trunk. You seriously brought alcohol along to visit your family when you were underage?
I hear ya..

Yes, she has a serious issue
Yes, she has a serious issue of drinking to excess several nights a week. She's unemployed, but that doesn't seem to slow her down. She goes out to bars, which even if they have specials she's probably spending at least $20 a night as she will have SEVERAL Long Island Iced Teas along with several shots. Confronted with proof of her constant partying, DH told her NOT to use the money he is giving her for alcohol. And since she has no other income, ... What's going to happen is she's going to be functionally drunk for the entire visit, and DH's parents do NOT approve of alcohol consumption in any form.
I agree with you StepAside, I
I agree with you StepAside, I would be pissed if I were the OP here dealing with what she is dealing with. Its a hard bullet to bite IMO.
StepAside, you put it very
StepAside, you put it very well.
Resentment that she can't act decent. Resentment that she gets a hotel room for not acting decent. Resentment that she's partying on OUR money. Resentment that she ignored her father's instructions to NOT bring a friend and NOT buy alcohol. Resentment that DH will do nothing about any of these things and allow SD20 to continue to be a spoiled brat.
I would let her dad deal with
I would let her dad deal with it.
Snicker snicker, he wont
Snicker snicker, he wont "deal with it" at all, he's a total head in the sand kind of guy. Even confronted with direct proof, he rarely does anything about it. I'm just irked that all the money we are sending her is going to alcohol (see above). I told DH to start sending SD20 Walmart gift cards if he's so concerned about her, but he won't. Cash it is.
If he won't "deal with it"
If he won't "deal with it" then that is the problem right there. Also I did (see above) and I still don't see what you can do about it.
Maybe her friend purchased
Maybe her friend purchased it... ?
It could be that they don't
It could be that they don't have anyone to buy it for them at their destination.
Yeah, but why the need to put
Yeah, but why the need to put it on ice? Unless you are planning on drinking it along the way...
This shit makes me so angry. It's all fun and games until they kill an innocent child, mother, father, son, daughter.
sorry, I seriously don't
sorry, I seriously don't drink beer... can't even stand the smell of it. so I didn't realize that it would taste funky if not chilled. (I'm a wine and wine cooler kinda gal)
Well I travel with booze on
Well I travel with booze on ice but that is bc I like mine super chilled by the time I arrive. I do hope that she/they will not be drinking and driving in any case.
Valid point... BUT, I know I
Valid point... BUT, I know I like to purchase my "adult beverages" at BevMo, because it is much cheaper. We often bring an ice chest when we go out of town, especially if we don't know the area we are going to well.
No telling if they were purchasing to drink on the way... or when they got there. But until someone posts a picture, beverage in hand, behind the wheel.... I think it is a waste of energy to be angry about.
I think as SMs we tend to get
I think as SMs we tend to get worked up over these stupid Skids just because they're having all this fun on our DHs dime. SS20 posts pics of himself passed out with booze all over the place. I'm guessing he thinks it makes him look cool. I personally just think he's an asshole and am happy as hell that he is no longer living in our house so I could care less what he does with himself. I don't tell DH anything anymore either, it's not like he's gonna do anything about it anyway so why bother?
Maybe SD should of paid for
Maybe SD should of paid for motel/hotel room instead of buying booze.. Must be nice to be able to have wrong priorities
And then Daddy will pay for
And then Daddy will pay for the lawyer and the bail. Not exactly a win win for the OP.
Yes, I agree she is stupid,
Yes, I agree she is stupid, but I wouldn't worry either. She's not your problem. it looks bad and tacky-although I think back to what I did at 19 and 20 and am honestly appalled. I did drive around with coolers of beer. I drank and then drove as well. I was an idiot. Thank God I harmed no one or myself and I turned out just fine-Im truly pretty straight laced, but did go through a spell when I liked to party.
If my daddy were paying for a hotel room for me and my friend? Hell, yeah, I'd be partying it up. I am quite certain my friends would have bought the beer since I was providing the room-and yes, you'd definitely want to ice it down so you can enjoy a cold one the moment you get to the room. I did some outrageous things between the ages of 17-20-I'm glad no one was looking over my shoulder. of course it may have helped that I didn't post what I was doing publicly

Thank you! I was starting to think I was crazy, feeling this was inappropriate. It's also not something I would have done.
