To take my 2 year old to the shop after 9pm to buy wine?

[cleopatrathegreat]

My 2 year old is refusing to go down for the night. I've had a bit of a shitty day. I really fancy a glass of wine. There is a newsagent 3 doors down from my house. I am tempted to put DD into her coat and buy myself a bottle of Rose (not to drink the whole thing but for a glass or two).

AIBU?

It is the most stupid fucking idea we've ever come up with. We don't even have pop to fill the fizzy gap. Just Roiboos. Motherfucking Roiboos.

I am a walking middle class joke and a failure as a human being.

I suggested it!? Went very quickly off it, but dp 'feels so much better' so it's stuck

I'd make a terrible Mormon.

I'm making the alcohol free weekdays slightly more bearable by counting Thursday as the start of the weekend.

Stressed mother fancies a glass of wine = alcohol dependent slattern who would drag her child as far as it took in order to satisfy her desperate cravings.

FFS. There's always one isn't there? Aint that the truth?

And if we treat every Monday as a bank holiday, we could be onto something.

as long as Tues and Wed also count as bank holidays

oh god, I've started to do that too, Inkle, not helped by the fact that I don't work Thursdays so that's when I drag DD to the supermarket to stock up on the 'weekend' wine.

InkleWinkle our Thursday is actually Wednesday in some countries.

If you don't take that into consideration and start your weekend on a Wednesday, it's considered racist probably

I'm sure you'll do the right thing

This conversation is making me so thirsty.

eyes up WD40

I used to work three nights a week, so couldn't drink on those nights! Now I am a student, nothing to stop me!

The problem with dry Wednesdays is it spoils both weekends.

does that make tonight a bank holiday? (Grabs baby monitor and car keys)

What's with the new emotions?

Beautiful ending

Op - yay! Have a nice evening. When you've finished drinking everyone else's wine, have some for me too (pregnant and jealous :p)

I have a two year old. I stocked up on the wine at ten this morning!

Enjoy

I would've told the cashier that DD wouldn't sleep, so you were hoping the wine might help.

I would! Not quite the same but there have been times when DD wouldn't settle and has therefore been bundled out to do a late-night shop in the hope that it'll tire her out.

For a laugh, please also buy a pack of kingsize Rizla.

So jealous of the wine planners.

sees mirage of a can of Fosters in living room

wishes it were a more sophisticated mirage

You could have been there and back by now. Why are you even debating this?

Lovely, lovely wine.

I've run out of tonic, but still got gin. And ice, and lemon. What should I do?

Shut it, winey.

Some of us aren't drinking too stupid for words and really fucking thirsty

YABU to be so blessed to have an offie 3 doors down....yy to Rizlas, I wouldn't have bothered with the wet wipes myself.
Cheers!
