To think I’m not doing anything wrong

Back to work on Monday after a lovely 2 weeks off! I’m currently reading a book (well I was before I came on here) with a glass of wine and left over Pringles from Christmas.

DH was out doing his hobby and he’s just come back home and asked me why I was drinking. I said I’m having a glass of wine, not exactly having shots rolling around everywhere. He said that I shouldn’t be drinking while looking after DC and that drinking alone in the house when it’s not Christmas anymore is “weird” DC1 is upstairs in their room and DC2 is sat on the floor playing.

AIBU?

Yes YABU - what if one of your children needed to be taken to hospital and you were over the limit to drive?

Grow up. This old bullshit.

You’d get a taxi… how do you think people that don’t drive at all get to hospital?

@Chowtime It was only one glass I’m sure I would have been fine. If not there’s always taxis

A glass of wine is not exactly hard drinking.

He had his time out today facilitated by you looking after the children so I would suggest you go and do what you like doing tomorrow.

Well I’ve been drinking since 1pm so no judgement here!
