Its my birthday and I'm home with my son, I wouldn't drink alone, but understand why you are, your other half will come home half cut and its better if you on the same wavelength.

So true classy- last year I was pregnat with my youngest daughter so when he came home drunk he did my head in! This year I am going to be the same!

no you are not BU!!! I am a single parent and I'd rather have a glass of wine (or several!) on my own rather than with them!! if I waited for company the wine would go off!!! You enjoy - at least you'll 'get' your partner when he comes home!! Xmas Grin

You are NOT being unreasonable. I am here on my own and rather merde-visaged. I love mulled wine. Xmas Grin

Hah! cheers!

YANBU it can be good to have a glass of wine or 3 even when on your own.

Today is my DD's 1st birthday. I've been trying to wean her and gave her what I intend to be her last breastfeed today too. I'm celebrating with a bottle of Baileys after having drunk very little for the past 21 months. DH has gone to bed so I'm now drinking alone.

YANBU. It doesn't hurt every now and again :)

You're not alone, i very often have a few glasses of wine by myself, especially at the end of a busy week, it's my little treat to myself. Enjoy it!
