Why get drunk when you have kids in the house?

[ItchyScratch]

Some of you might tell me to keep my nose out.

But scrolling through Facebook today (I really don’t know why I bother seen as it angers me more than it pleases me)

And many couples I know posting their kitchen work tops full of alcohol and how they are going to get drunk today. Couples who have kids.
And obviously it’s lockdown so they are definitely in charge of kids.

It’s taking all my tongue biting not to say something to them. Probably why it makes me let some of the steam off by writing this post. Why would you get drunk when you have kids?

You might say, how do you know they are getting drunk?
Well a couple with a photo of a huge crate of Budweiser and 4 bottles of prosecco amongst spirits are not exactly having a small glass.

It’s neglect.

Lol. Was his slurring his 'Do you BigBallsSandy take TinyWeinerTim to be your lawfully wedded husband?'

The priests love a good wedding. I wonder what happens if someone needs the last rites and the priest is pissed as a fart at a wedding? Usually you'll have 2 'fathers' (priests) there too - the bride's priest and the groom's priest. Not a sober priest to be found for miles around. Now THAT'S NEGLECT.

😂

Imagine having to say Mass with a hangover!?

I reckon they're the masses with super short sermons.

Fitting sermon to this topic here...……..

Let's not forget monks brewing their own for centuries.

Eek, I’ve done my family pleasing turn at attending Easter Mass absolutely hanging out of my arse. Every year... . I can’t imagine having to say the mass is that state!!

Easter is a massive deal in my family and the booze flows like it’s a turbo Christmas!

My partner is tee total so I can have a bottle of wine with no worries once kids are in bed

I don’t drink during day at all with kids ( only on holiday when it’s all inclusive and free )

At home in U.K. it’s a bottle on a Saturday night whilst watching Netflix ...

I don't personally agree with drinking around children but this may be a result of growing up with an alcoholic Dad

I'm teetotal, I quit drinking a year before we started TTC, its been over 4 years now and I won't drink again until my children are older and never around them. I found it frightening as a child being around drunk adults. Your parents are supposed to be your stability and security and I never felt that security with my Dad and I don't intend to do the same to my children

I don’t get drunk, but one or twice a week I have a champagne mimosa for breakfast.

It’s 5 o’clock somewhere. AM drinking is the best.

I've been drunk in charge if my children. I've been drunk with the vicar.
I can't drive so drinking doesn't make a difference in that respect.
If I took a photo of all the alcohol in my house right now I'd look like a total alcoholic. I haven't had a drink since February, and that was 2 glasses of amaretto and coke. Prior to that i had 2 or 3 glasses of wine at Christmas. Most of the alcohol in my house has been here for over a year.

Why smoke when you have kids? Why eat crap food when you have kids? Why work too many hours when you have kids? Why be overweight when you have kids? Why drive a car when you have kids? Or dare to go on a plane.....And so on. Everyone has a risk level. Get a fucking grip

Re the vicar thing - which @1forAll74 hasn't even returned to explain what she means - I went to a catholic school and attend a reunion every year with the priests who taught us. No one can put booze away like a priest IME ive seen them still propping you the bar at 4am while the young ones are long gone!
