difficult child had to pull something. She invited three of her flag team friends (all nice girls) and the pitcher from our softball team (red flags) to our house after their game last night. The pitcher brings her boyfriend. I suspected something right away and went down the basement four times. I smelled what I thought was alcohol and even took the girls glasses of water and tasted them and asked if they were drinking, to which they all said no. husband finally went down there and confronted them and the pitcher and her boyfriend abruptly left.
After snooping around this morning, reading cell phone texts, reading myspace bulletins, etc we woke the girls at 9A.M. and made them come up to the kitchen where husband and I contronted them all. They all denied drinking and we told them we were calling thweir parents. They went back downstairs and 3 minutes later difficult child came upstairs and confessed that the pitcher and her boyfriend brought alcohol in a blue bottle and they drank and offered the others. All the girls took a sip and said it was too strong and didn't drink anymore.
Neither difficult child of the other three were under the influence but we knew there was alcohol there and that they did have a sip. We told the girls we believed them but they should have told the other two to leave when they first brought it out and that we could have gotten into a lot of trouble having underage drinking in our home.
I'm glad difficult child came clean but very disappointed she even involved herself with this girl who we knew was trouble from the first baseball game of the season. I told husband he should bench the gilr for the rest of the season but she's our only pitcher. The girls parents have never been to a game so they are not in the picture and we will never see her again after July 28.
We told difficult child no more driving for a very long time.
