PIC OF THE DAY

This is what we call fish. Nile perch from Lake Victoria. This you cant find in a pond where some people keep children of fish in other parts of the country

'I get drunk with my daughter': Mum who parties with her 17-year-old says it's the only way to keep an eye on her

Party pals: Ruth Davies says the best way to keep an eye on her daughter Teri is to be her drinking buddy

Ruth and Teri love going out on girls nights out together, getting dressed up to hit the local bars and clubs, chatting up boys and more often than not getting drunk on cocktails.
There's one difference though between these two women and your average girlie friends: Ruth and Teri are mother and daughter.
46-year old Ruth Davies, who is often mistaken for 17-year-old Teri's sister, says that partying together is the best way to keep an eye on her daughter.

'I started to let her have a glass of wine with a meal and also at Christmas. Until she was 16 we mostly drank at home, one or two glasses of wine at special times, maybe if we were out and I had a bottle of wine.

'Now we go out together.

'When she is 18 she can do whatever she likes, but while she's in my care I want to be in control and I don't think she will be safe if she's drinking in secret behind my back.'

At just 17-years-old Teri isn't legally old enough to drink outside of the house, but she defends her mother's behaviour.

She says: 'We still do other normal things that parents do with their children, but we also go out and have fun and I think that's very important, especially at my age.

Strong bond: Teri has been drinking since she was 14 and says she drinks less now her mother goes out with her
