To think I'm going to regret this in the morning.

[Alabastard]

First night out since DD was born 9 months ago. She's safely asleep at DM's house.

I'm drunk and I feel like it's going to be bad in the morning. I have to pick DD up at 10. Post boozing I went to Domino's and got a lot of pizza. So at least my stomach is lined.

WIbU to go out and get sloshed? Is that still allowed once you have a baby??

Alabastard, put some paracetamol next to the glass of water for 4am and you'll be grand. I would imagine it didn't take much alcohol to get you drunk?
Joffrey, for a 7 year old??

Good for you! Does you good to let your hair down now and again

Drink plenty of water and enjoy your little lie in tomorrow

You are entitled to a social life too. Your daughter is 9 months old. It's not like you've left a newborn. This really annoys me, most mothers give up everything to bring up their children. Your child is safe and you're having an evening to enjoy yourself. You might have a sore head in the morning but you've had food so finger crossed that will soak some of it up. Make sure you leave a pint of water and some paracetamol by your bed for the morning.
9:30am is a lie in when you have a baby so enjoy x

Have a great night! You'll be fine.

Paracetamol and water by your bed - hope you had a great night!

I went out once and there was a woman who went out 6 DAYS after giving birth. But it was ok, baba was with her mum. That, I judged.

Just go and get shit faced. And yes, you will really really regret this in the morning, but that's part of the fun. Line up someone to bring you McDonald's and you'll be fine.

Don't have the paracetamol now. Save it until morning. Paracetamol and alcohol together can increase the chances of side effects.

Haha, I use a monitor with my 10 and 5 yo. In my defense it's more of a walkie talkie and means I can tell them to just SHHH at 6am when I want to sleep a little longer.

Klepto is right actually, no paracetamol now. Just cheese then, and water.

You know children actively enjoy being with their devoted grandparents, right?

Or is it just me who's mum stopped noticing her once presented with a cute grandchild?

Cheese?

Have a burger with it.

Haha, definitely.

Sorry, cheese is my saviour. Just somehow seems to prevent hangovers. It's also why I'm rather spherical.

But there will be cheese dreams.

Drunk cheese dreams.

You'll wake up thinking you're Trump's parrot or summat.

And, Yes! For a seven year old!

And they still have stair gates. I trip over the fucker whenever I use the loo.

Stair gates is weird.

.... And I love the drunken cheese dreams

Cheese is great when drunk.

Needs to be melted though.

Either on chips, or on a pizza.

Mentioned my child to a woman I met this evening and she thought I was a bad mother for not being at home with my ear pressed to the baby monitor.

I'm pretty skint this week but I'd still bet a fiver that she didn't.

I'm willing to bet another fiver that it's down to some deep seated weird 'Mummy guilt' because it can be hard to leave the baby and go out and let your hair down

You know like when you go clothes shopping in a scruffy outfit and no make-up on, and you automatically assume the shop assistants are looking down their noses and 'giving you dirty looks'?

That's very often all in the person's mind too as most shop assistants couldn't give a shiny shit/wouldn't even notice your appearance.

Just chill out

It's fine, hope you had a nice night

Note you didn't come on here and type "hep I'm sho pished I don member nuffink but ooh pwetty pizza with magic shrooms n I think I shag the delivery guy" so not that bad....

Didn't Sinatra say you're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on? Actually maybe another Rat Pack member said it....

Your a mum, not dead. You are allowed to live a little. *

*disclaimer - i've been out tonight for the first time in ages and may have got shitfaced a little drunk. I have to get ds2 to a remembrance parade for 10am (dh driving) and I think yanbu.

I was once told that I was irresponsible for going to work and leaving my child with his father.

Person in question 'just couldn't get her head around it'.

Opinions are like arseholes.

Haaaaa

Once you're a mother you need to be permanently welded to your home, within 3 feet of baby at any given time you are to refute the very notion of a social life and become the epitome of saintly mother...as in, be a mother ONLY...anyway........

I hope you enjoyed your night out, drink loads of water also as someone said loads of fresh orange juice in the morning. Hopefully the walk to your mum's will clear your head a bit too. I remember once before doing the walk of doom to my mum's to collect DCs I had to pour a jug of cold water over my head. Hopefully you won't be that bad....

A father wouldn't post this.

Your DC is safe at grandmas house and you had a drink. No big deal. Hope you enjoyed your night off

Completely agree Eve!

I hate the guilt we pile on mothers.
