Attended a family function at the weekend. I went over early to help set up and family friends brought my DH and DS over later. Had a lovely time and during the event I saw that friends who were driving each had a very small glass of wine but nothing that overly concerned me and the event was 6 hours long and this was at the start. The driver even commented he was just having a small one as part of a toast as he was driving.
They left at end giving DH and DS a lift home whilst I stayed behind to help clean up. During chatting in the kitchen area it came to light this friend had come out back to the kitchen on 4 or 5 occassions and downed either a large glass of wine or a spirit, apparently telling the catering staff 'not to tell the wife'. From what i could work out he had at least 2 large glasses of wine, a glass of champague and 2 glasses of brandy, and all towards the end of the evening. I don't doubt this as so many people saw him but they all assumed his wife must be driving.
Obviously my 2 year old DS will never, ever travel with these people again and I raised it with my DH. But I am still fuming and want to challenge him over it, though I know it risks the friendship. However my view is he has completely broken my trust by taking this risk with my son and that is unforgivable. Am I overreacting?
