Help! How to cope with a day of parenting after waking up still drunk! (Lighthearted)

[Fraggleyourock]

OH and I had a friend round last night, we were drinking until stupid o'clock, it is now the day after the night before and I haven awoken drunk! I have a 20 month old and an 8 month old to some how be a mum to today! Advice greatly appreciated!

This thread is hilarious. Don't go to the park in case your reactions are dulled / take a long look at yourself.

The OP hasn't been on a 48 hour boozathon, making typos all over the place and vomitting on her children. She has clearly said she can look after them, plus she has family and her dp as well.

Mn is like an alternate universe sometimes.

But seriously OP, best to wrap them in cotton wool and not to move from your sofa lest you try and make a cup of tea but burn yourself because your reactions are dulled / you fall off the sofa due to the aforementioned reactions.

Thanks coolpotato, off to a lovely local park for a run around in a minute, then we are meeting some friends at the beach later on, so babies will definitely be ready for bed by the end of it all! I don't have any irn bru, think I may get some when I go out, that or I could do a Mountain Dew!

Haha!! Quite right, Queenbean! I cannot be trusted!

Thanks frusso, but I worked in a softplay before having these two and they're kind of ruined for me now, I don't think I could face going in one! I only go when we have a party invite these days.

OP you real must learn from this. It's not good.

Did you even consider that you might be feeling like this today? Clearly not! You didn't prepare yourself. Yesterday, should have been about getting all the stodgy breakfast type things in as possible and preparing the front room for a duvet day!

So, the lesson you need to take from this, is prepare!

Hope you're feeling a bit better. I'm sure the children will survive a less than perfect mummy day.

I know Maureen! How could I have been so stupid?! I deserved that stern talking to, so thank you, for that! Tough love

I also recommend lucozade sport with a berocca chaser. Was the only thing that could get me through a day of lectures in university after a heavy night on cheap spirits.

I am in awe that you are off out and not going back to bed, you are hardcore op

Why, thank you Lizzylou! Too kind! Rollyroo, I love the idea of a berocca chaser! I honestly think it's a stroke of genius! I don't have any and I have passed all the shops now. Might get some on my way back!

Hahaha you got to love prissy MN .

Hope you are feeling better op oops no I meant [.

Throughthickandthin, thank you... I honestly didn't expect to be told off! I should have seen it coming really, but I genuinely didn't! Been a bit of a reminder why I never really post

I can't believe you're off to the park and not handing your children over to social services! How very dare you?!

I'm hangover free because i dont believe in drinking alcohol any more (nothing at all to do with my "never again" moment following necking a bottle of wine in 20 minutes and moving on to homemade sambuca cocktails last weekend. Someone ate liquorice near me on Thursday and I nearly vommed at the memory!)

Nik, I have thought my toddler the number for childline for occasions such as these and I can completely relate to the sambuka/liquorice thing! I used to drink that stuff like water when I was in my teens! At 19, I drank too much of it one night, was almost sick, and I can't stand anything even remotely resembling the taste or smell these days!

Taught* oh dear, clearly my excessive drunken state that caused that typo there!

I'm amazed no one has asked how much you drank and what you drank.
I'm getting drunk on 3 glasses of wine....I just feel so cheap

I mean generally 3 glasses not right now as it's breakfast time

It was white wine that I'd been drinking! I'm clearly very much a lightweight these days!

Oh, and it was the best part of a bottle

Oh FFS.

As if some posters are at people being a bit hungover when looking after kids!

Get an actual grip you absolute pearl clutchers.

Chicken and mushroom pot noodles and coke are my hangover cure but bacon pancakes sound good !

Jesus some people are way overreacting on this thread! Hope your feeling much better today op.

I went out last weekend, dh was at work the next day so I had to battle through the day looking after toddler dd on my own. I barely moved from the sofa......but she survived and I'm pretty certain she has not been scarred for life!

Thanks for understanding! My children and I had a perfectly lovely day, I was just a little more delicate than I usually am, luckily my partner was off so we worked as almost a kind of tag team of one of us began to flag a little. To be honest, by about half 3 I felt totally fine!!
Lj, well done on battling through what must have been a very strenuous day! Hats off to you!

I, personally, have an issue with looking after children hungover as I grew up with a horrific alcoholic family. So apologies if I am more cautious than most but some people have reasons for being

Fair enough agruffalo! I can understand that! This was a one off on my part though, I'm certainly not an alcoholic and my children didn't suffer for it, still did the usual activities and play. I can see why you have hold ups on this kind of thing, one of my best friends mum was/is an alcoholic and she had a terrible upbringing, was the parent when she should have been the child, so I'm sorry to hear you went through something similar.
