Not AIBU. WWYD - who gets to drink tonight!

[Newmummytobe79]

Going to DH's friends for dinner. Taking baby so early start and early finish.

Will both have a glass of wine when we get home and baby is in bed.

DH wants a beer with friend, I want a wine or two with DH's wife.

DH has been working hard all week, I've been working hard looking after baby all week.

So ... I put this to the Mumsnet members ... who should drive and who should enjoy a drink or two! :)

Is taxi a viable option?

Get a taxi or toss a coin?

If you're both going to have a drink when you get home, does it really matter who has alcohol when you're out?

Dh's friend, dh gets the beer. Your friend, you get the wine.

That's usually our rule, or it depends on whats on the next day. If I have to work, I won't drink as I hate feeling rough when working behind a bar!

:( Thought I was going to get a resounding I should have !

Taxi out of the question as we'll both be pursuaded to stay out for one more.

At least if one of us is driving we'll get baby home early-ish for bed.

I guess I'll have to find my double headed coin

Then book the taxi to arrive for a certain time?

If you prebook a taxi to come back you can't be tempted to just one more drink! Otherwise I agree with AITE and Maryz.

It's not like either of you are gonna get ratarsed if you've got the baby to look after anyway!

Simply toss a coin best of three if it doesn't fall in your favour first time or rock/paper/scissors ....

Normally I drive there and he drives homes.

Fair.

Homes?

That makes us sound like we have many pads.

Fairly certain I´ll get flamed for this, but how bloody sad-adults "arguing" over who gets to drink.

Especially when they´ll be drinking when they get home.

I reckon that 'AskJeeves' could be replaced by AskWorra... fab at problem-solving, she is.

Book the taxi in advance... or 'leave him' and marry a teetotaller.

Who drove on the last night out?

If it was dh friend, then I would offer to drive. Sorry -not the answer you wanted.

ChaosTrulyReigns - you are the winner! excellent idea!

diddl - it's just a light hearted post - no 'arguing' whatsoever. Maybe have a drink and chill out?

I agree with the booking taxi for a set time suggestion. Although, having read Chaos's suggestion, I think (s)he is truly a genious.

Genious? oh lord..............GENIUS.

Is your husband a bigamist??

'DH wants a beer with friend, I want a wine or two with DH's wife.'

(just kidding, I know what you mean really... or at least I think I do...)

hahaha! SydSaid - nope, as far as I know there's just me as DH's wife

"no 'arguing' whatsoever."

That´s why I put arguing in quotation marks.

But don´t most people just take it in turns?

Lying

Hello. We're going to move this now to WWYD because, as the OP says, that's where it belongs.

Whoever you decide has to drive tonight doesn't have to drive next time.

Them's the rules.

I do the same deal as Chaos does.
