to be annoyed that my brother and sister have got absolutely smashed

[nurter]

I had my brother and sister over for christmas and we had a nice meal and a few drinks but they don't know when to stop. They've drunk at least 1.5 bottles of wine, some amaretto and a few beers. They went mad and started wrestling and other drunken antics with each other and this then set the children off doing similar. I eventually restored order and they fell asleep. I've dumped them both in the spare room as they are too drunk to go home.
It was a mostly enjoyable day but I feel they took the shine off it. I know I could and should have monitored them better but she's 24 and he's 19 so they're old enough and I don't want to be the alcohol police.

YANBU, its crap when other people are messy drunks.
But oh dear 24 is too old to be vomiting after booze? Would never happen Chez Handcart, oh no

sorry - i don't think that's too bad.

Well my sister turned up with her new bf, who had obviously had a few before coming up. Loud, in your face and he had the nerve to touch my bump. Christ, I'd never even met him before. He's not left a good impression here I tell you

YANBU its shocking behaviour

I can understand you expecting better behaviour from your sis, but your brother is 19 why did you think he would be well behaved???? he is a weekwilled boy who is only 1 year into being able to buy liquer.
Either buy less booze.
Or, tell them the truth, your house, your rules, your kids don't need to see their pissed up behaviour.
Or, lighten up and revel in their hangover in the am.

YANBU, it was rude and thoughtless of them. But on the other hand it sounds like that's all it was: just thoughtless, not malicious. I mean, they presumably don't have kids of their own so they probably didn't even realise they were having a bad effect on the children or that they were upsetting you. I would have a word with them in the morning, but in a nice way. They'll probably realise they were out of order and be mortified.

It would upset me. You're the one left trying to get the kids settled. They behaved in quite a selfish way, I think. I hope tomorrow is better.

Oh dear lord a 24 year old and a 19 year old getting pissed, you really should have monitored them better.

I don't drink, so I'm ok with those around me getting tipsy/plastered

What really gets on my wick is when I take the time to make a meal and DH has had too much (usually on an empty stomach), and he looks at his food in that half-focused way, eats it like he's forcing it down.

Earlier in the year I drove to a Chinese Resturant that I'd been raving about to pick up a take out meal.
I went via Sainsburys, had to drive about 10 miles each way and find a parking meter. It was pissin down with rain to boot.
Had to wait while they did my order because I hadn't phoned in (couldn't find the number online)

When I eventually got back, he was upstairs sorting DDs bed.
He was pissed out of his tree.
How I stopped myself was making him wear the food is one of the mysteries of the modern world.
He hasn't done it again, thankfully.

They shouldn't have treated your home as a place to let their hair down if it bothers you, they should have gone out with friends instead.
I feel the same about staff evenings out, not relaxed and still monitoring my behaviour and language. Not relaxed and half-cut.
I thought uncles and aunties were supposed to wrestle and be daft?
Oops.

LOTF, being drunk in charge of a child is completely different.

What dust said

I'm surprised at those who think 24 is too old to be sick after drinking. I know lots of people who have over indulged and been sick the odd time

YANBU getting so drunk that you vomit and need your sister to put you to bed is not on.

Its Christmas this sort of thing happens

My friend is 36 and always vomits when drunk! AND she has a responsible job which she does very well so I don't think it means someone is a no mark
