Good for her.
There is no way in hell I would have tagged along with my girlfriend's parents on her 21st birthday. Or my parents on mine.

I had been drinking and playing darts on dad's team for a year and half before I turned 21. My birthday made it easy to scratch and change the date on my DL.

If I drank today like I did on my 21st birthday I would die of some issue. Microwaved burboun shots, cement mixers, prairie fires, god that shit was awful that people bought.
I also railed my girlfriend like I was leaving for the peace corps for 2 years. How I managed to do that I have no clue after all that alcohol. I could never repeat that today without a handful of cialis and blow. What this offers as an answer, I have no clue. However, keeping your daughter safe and out of a car on her 21st has to be a good option, plus she enjoys spending time with mom and dad so you have that as well. I say celebrate with her. |

She should go out with her female friends, provided they can be trusted to keep her safe.
If she's miserable the next day, it'll be a lesson well-learned, as some lessons are best learned through personal mistakes.
ETA: I posted before reading past the title... If she prefers to go out with you and mom, do that. «tc2k11» |

She is an adult, its her decision. If she asks you and your wife to go with, do it.

I spent my 21st on Bourbon St.....with my mom. None of my friends had any money and I wanted to go. So I called my mom and asked if she wanted to go. We went to Memphis, New Orleans, Dallas, St. Louis and then home to Ohio.

Most kids that go out drinking at 21 have been out drinking enough times before that.
That said, mine landed on the local bars golf tournament day, and I was on the same team as my dad. Talk about a drunken birthday. |

your wife/husband? Our daughter will be 21 in the spring of 2016 (my wife turns 40 I month before our daughter so it'll be like celebrating both birthdays) and she wants her mom and I to go out to a club with her. We saw a nice looking club in downtown San Diego the day before yesterday. We saw it by accident, we weren't really looking for it but it was a club that a friend had recommended and my daughter had already told my wife that she wanted us to go with her there next year. When she saw the outside of it in person she got even more excited and said she definitely wants to do it next year. I'm flattered that she would rather go with her mom and I than with some friends. She also mentioned that her boyfriend can go with us next year if they're still together. What would you folks rather do? hopefully by that point she'll be grown up enough to not get blasted. So it won't matter. |

good for her being family aware. I like the cut of her jib.
My own 21st was just to be a quiet night out for a couple drinks, I didn't even tell my college friends it was my birthday. It was just a night out until we got to a bar on Syracuse's Armory Square and the bar tender checked our ID's and said "happy birthday, first one's on the house" . I got punched by one of my friends, called an asshole for not fessing up and never bought another beer that night. |

I was raised up drinking a sip or a beer since 4 years old and would go to the bar with my dad at 16 so when our daughter was 14 it was no big deal for her to buy me a beer in the Bahamas. at 17 she told me I could not go with her and her friends to DMB, her friends got wind of it and ditched her. she apologized and the next year she bought my ticket for DMB. having said that it is a good daughter that wants to celebrate her 21st with her parents

My mom worked at a small local bar when I was 21, we had my party there, it was a shitload of drunks who had known me for many years and a I caught a professional booster eating spinach dip out of the bowl with his bare hand. I didn't tell anyone because I hate spinach dip.

Nothing against non drinkers but to say this makes it appear you are saying the OP raised his daughter poorly. BTW I am taking mine to Vegas for her 21st next summer. Do I need to go to some kind of parenting classes ? |

That dosent make it right to insinuate that people who drink or let their kids drink raised them wrong and are making bad decisions in life. |

My family always had wine for Christmas and Thanksgiving, so my daughter drank alcohol most of her life. Now at 26 she hardly drinks at all. 21 is just an arbitrary number. I am more impressed she wants to hang with you guys. Well done! That there is awesome. Party on, Dudes! |

Only thing I ever got from alcohol is the best son (and grandson) a person could dream to have. Seriously, if you raise your kid right then alcohol is no big deal. If you don't raise your kid right, then sobriety wont save them.
My son is grossed out by beer. And his first beer will be very dark, very skunky, and very warm. |

I spent my 21st 1,145 miles from home in a BWW with a guy I had only met that day. We were there for training. My friends made up for it when I got back to town.
If your daughter wants you to go with her I'd do it. Sounds like you guys have a great relationship and that's awesome!
