To pick son up after booze lunch

[betteronmondays]

Just that work in a job where I sometimes drink at lunch with clients. Feeling merry now supposed to pick 9yr old up is that okay?

Well it depends, are you driving? If so then of course YABU. If not then it’s fine.
How else is he going to get home?

Are you driving? How much have you had to drink?

Whats the altenative? Leave him?

Are you being serious?

It goes without saying you can't drive. If you're going to be stumbling home and being embarrassing then I'd ask a friend to have him while I sober up. If you're just a bit merry then go for it.

Don’t drive obviously, but go pick him up, how much did you drink, lunchtime was several hours ago?

Where from? If school as a member of staff We weren’t allowed to release a child to someone who smelled strongly of alcohol or who appeared drunk.

Nah just leave him there.

Ugh I would of hated this as a kid what sort of evening will he have now you'll be wanting to probably fall asleep on the sofa because you're drunk paying no attention to your son. Selfish in my opinion id never go drinking while my kids where at school only if their in bed or being babysat for the day and evening.

You must be more than merry if you are asking such a ridiculous thing on here

Get a taxi. Ffs.

Anyone see the stats on Trust Me, I'm a Doctor this week?

If this is real, then clearly

1. don't drive there (if that's what you meant by "pick him up"), get a taxi.

2. of course you have to collect him somehow - what else are you going to do, just leave him?

3. if you're really worried, see if one of the other parents will have him for a few hours, and drink a shit load of coffee. Then (see 1 above) get a taxi to go and collect him

Are you sure you're old enough to have a job and child?

Presumably he's not at school unless you're so pissed you forgot about him.

presumably you mean you have to entertain clients at lunchtime why do you have to drink though cant you have a soft drink if i had to look after a child i wouldnt drink at lunchtime

Is this a joke? Fair enough having a good time and a bit of fun (I'm well up for that), but this is appalling - knowing you were probably going to drink and had your son to pick up, surely you should have made alternative arrangements earlier on, ie walk, bus or taxi.

This can’t be real, surely??

I'm guessing thid isn't real. Interested to know what op means

Of course its OK as long as you're not driving.

Do you mean as opposed to just not bothering to pick him up?

Don't drive. Get there some other way if you have no one else to do it.
So many people think a few drinks won't hurt then condemn another family to a death caused by drink driving. AND YES IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU!!

I don’t know why everyone’s going on about driving when the OP didn’t even mention that she would be driving to collect him.

Did anyone else click on this thread thinking that it was the son who'd have the booze lunch?

(Misses point of thread)

I did Peter

I also wondered if a booze lunch meant no food at all, only alcohol but I don't think the OP must be in any state to come back and tell us more.
