To drink?!

[FuckMyUterus]

Okay bear with me.
I literally NEVER drink, as me and OH are TTC. Today he has gone to a local pub/restaurant to meet some acquaintances to talk business. I have decided to chill on the sofa whilst my son is glued to some new dvds upstairs.
I am watching Pretty Little Liars and enjoying a very nice bottle or two of wine as spritzers. I updated my status to say 'wine, PLL, and vape, happy Sunday!'
Within minutes I'd received a phone call off my mother to say that I should not be drinking unsupervised whilst in charge of my son. My son is 6, he's has lunch and I am not planning to get smashed. For crying out loud I'm almost 27, am I really not allowed to enjoy a drink on a Sunday afternoon?! For reference, the last time I drank was last year .
So, AIBU?!

Why do you feel the need to put it on facebook?
Who cares?
Fine, enjoy a glass of wine, a vape and a dvd...no one else gives a shit.
You brought this on yourself.

Ruby I might add that our business is vaping related and this status was accompanied by a 'handcheck' which are common on vaping related pages, this wasn't on my personal page.

I don't understand. Are you saying you're having two bottles of wine amount of spritzers? If so, that is binge drinking. And yes it is far too much whilst you're looking after your ds.

Ruby, clearly her mother cares, and she can put whatever the fuck she likes on her Facebook.

Yanbu op. Enjoy your wine and your Sunday afternoon, and ignore your mother (and Ruby).

You can do what you want if you keep off Facebook! Why post?

You must have amazing tolerance, if I drank 1-2 bottles of wine I'd be smashed!

And you wrote 'a bottle or two' and bolded the 'or two', so of course YABU and, as the PP said, brought it on yourself by putting that on Facebook

You have had 2 bottles of wine? Do you mean 2 glasses? Did I read that wrong.

Anyway tell your mum m to butt out. You can put what you like on fb and enjoy your chill day.

Go steady though as you arnt used to drinking and may get s massive hangover.

Having looked after my dcs whilst both sleep deprived and/or ill on many occasions, i really do not think being mildly drunk is that dissimilar.

2 bottles of wine worth of spritzers is a lot of spritzers! I'm not sure I could drink that much liquid 😂

Reading it again if you really are getting through two bottles you going for it arnt you! I drink regularly but after 2 bottles I would be ratted.

Okay, admittedly the two bottles of wine was in jest, I don't think I'll even manage 1, as with Lemonade that's gonna be too much fluid
Her concern was more the fact that I'm drinking during the day, apparently it's not acceptable nor appropriate...

2 bottles is way too much while looking after a child.

2 glasses would be fine

I'd guess she means two of the spritzer bottles, so a couple of glasses.

I think people should pull their knickers out from their bums and help you with a glass or two!
Enjoy OP x

inthis you're more than welcome to a glass or two 🍷 its lovely... Fruit wine!

Cheees I have just poured one

loving it's not that strong as it's home made fruit wine, however it tastes a little dry to me, that's the only reason I added Lemonade. My OHs mom made it, and she can't drink at all, and apparently managed to drink 3 bottles last weekend without being too pissed 😂

Ugh - not lemonade. Far too sweet!

Soda water - lovely.

Lesson learned - don't put this stuff on FB.

iMatter I love soda water, but only by itself or with some nice blackcurrant cordial

I think posting on face book you were going to drink two bottles of wine is fundamentally the issue here. I'm unsure why you can't see that..

That really is a lot of alcahol OP. Are you sure you're not trying to normalise your excessive drinking?

I'll buck the trend, I don't see what's unreasonable about having a drink on a Sunday afternoon whether you have kids or not.

I mean if you're completely shitfaced slurring and wobbling around I can see why that would be frowned upon but I doubt that's quite the case.

Agree with others re facebook, it's a bit like MN, there's always someone ready to pounce whether you're being unreasonable or not.

Most people are saying it's fine to have a drink but just not get totally hammered.

Op I agree with others saying two bottles of wine is a lot of one sitting (it's definitely classed as binge drinking). Nothing wrong with a few small glasses though.
