Have your kids ever seen you drunk ?

[LardLizard]

?

No. DS is 5 for context.

Yes, she's 21.

Merry yes but not drunk

No (DD is 7) and I intend to keep it that way. Alcoholic ex hence I've been put off alcohol for life.

Yes but not on a regular basis, nye, holidays and football over the summer

No, I don't drink. They've seen DH have a beer occasionally but only ever one.

No and my eldest is 21.

No, I can’t think of an occasion when they have. It’s possible they’ve seen me a bit tipsy once or twice. Eldest is 12.

No. But I don't drink these days.

No, eldest is 8.

I can't remember ever seeing my Dad more than merry & that was only after I was 17/18 & only around Christmas or New Year. I do remember my Mum dropping me home after spending the Christmas holidays with her one NYD & he had a raging hangover, I was about 10 & thoroughly enjoyed making as much noise as possible

No. My oldest dc is 29.

Yes. Not falling down drunk but definitely tipsy. We socialise lots and generally DS comes with us.
Unless there are reasons I don't understand why some people make a big deal about drinking in front of kids.

No, never. He's seven.

He's seen me hungover before, but I passed that off as being poorly.

I've never seen my mum drunk either and I'm 34.

Sadly yes (DSs 19 & 12). Not proud of it, numerous times. I’m a professional (don’t know why I added that...probably as I’m ashamed and think it justifies it as I earn and provide) and worried I may be a functioning alcoholic. It generally doesn’t interfere with my life during the day but I worry it has maybe had an impact on them.

Nope. They've seen DH though. I don't drink any more though so it's very unlikely to happen.

I've never seen my parents drunk either and I'm nearly 40.

Sort of.
They've certainly seen us drinking but they're generally asleep before we're properly drunk.
Similar to Blaablaablaa we socialise in the house when they're present.

Dc never saw me have a drink til 18!!
Hangovers +dc not compatible imo.

@BlaaBlaaBlaa I wouldn't get drunk in my child's presence because drunk people are embarrassing and can't make rational judgements. Also should something happen to my child whilst I am drunk with her I would be totally useless.

Laughing, friends round, had one more than is sensible? Yes!
Slurring, scary, out of control? No.

Merry, yes. Our summer holiday was all-inclusive so there were cocktails of an evening. But never "properly" drunk. I haven't been that since before I first got pregnant.

They're 6 and 4.

No they haven't and I hope they never do. I saw my parents absolutely off their trolley drunk every weekend and what I saw has affected me my whole life tbh.

They will see me tipsy sometimes as we only really socialise with the kids in tow - family suppers, BBQs, that sort of thing where I will have more than a glass or two I guess. Probably been actually drunk once at a festival few years ago but with all the music, dancing together and other children around I don't suppose they even noticed. And when I say drunk, I don't mean falling over or anything like that.

They see me drink regularly at home, but that usually means a glass of wine when I'm cooking or sitting down with a drink after dinner. DH doesn't drink so not a huge amount of alcohol is consumed in our house!

No never. They are 5, 4 and 18 months.
