Morning drinking

I'm curious to know thoughts on this. I'm completely okay with it but interested to see what people think.

Once and sometimes twice a week at 10am I will crack open a bottle of wine and have 2 or 3 glasses over a few hours. I'll Read, catch up on some tv and other stuff and just relax and enjoy.

I do this because this is the only time I get to myself while the kids are in school and before everyone gets home around 4. I don't drink in the evening or at the weekends. Probably having around 16 units a week.

I know if I was to tell anyone this they'd think I had a problem and needed a drink first thing in the morning, but I don't.It's about 4 or 5 days before I'll have a glass of wine again since the last one.

What are you're thoughts?

ToeToe That was not for you to say and yes 10 years into a relationship we have had a few tough times, at the moment things are really good but thanks for doing that just to prove I'm not happy. Really nice.

So you're a man OP, you are allowed more units then. Happy days. Grin

nottellingyou101 · 26/11/2018 23:01

That was a really nasty thing to do ToeToe You should be proud.

Op why did you want us to believe you’re female?

if you’d said in the evenings it would be a non event

I'm sorry OP, but you've been deceiving every poster on this thread, and you slipped up with a namechange fail. You should have been honest with us.

Bluntness100 · 26/11/2018 23:03

Toetoe hasn't done anything wrong, this is a public forum, 16 million people can read your other thread.

nottellingyou101 · 26/11/2018 23:04

As I've said. I didn't want to put myself, so threw in things. My partner uses mumsnet and like all my other post that have not been about wine, I like my privacy. I don't want to know me who she is and I don't want her to know who I am.

I don't paint either but I do do something creative.

Hopefully this thread will be gone too.

I have changed some things around but you can still get the gist.

Good for you then OP. Glad you're happy, Bit strange to post if you're not in the first place happy

BeekyChitch · 26/11/2018 23:07

I think this sounds lovely! No different than the parents getting sloshed/ having a few wines on a Friday night while kids are at home. 3 glasses a week doesn’t sound like a problem.

Bluntness100 · 26/11/2018 23:07

You went in from page one pretending to be a woman and referring to your husband. Lying about your gender is just odd. I don't see how your wife can work out who you are because you pretend you're a woman drinking from ten am.

nottellingyou101 · 26/11/2018 23:07

Other people can look it up if they want TorToe has gone out of her way to prove I am not happy, when me and my partner are happy. Yes we had tough times but things are very good now.

I omitted I was a man. I have the right to privacy. What difference does it make. I am a stay at home dad and every thing I have said is true, just a few things so I don't out myself. Go make a mountain out of that if you want.

OP posts:
VerbeenaBeeks · 26/11/2018 23:08

You don't paint? You said all through the thread that you want to kick back with wine and do your painting....
Ooookay then.

Bluntness100 · 26/11/2018 23:09

I omitted I was a man

Well that's also understated, you deliberately misled people to think you're a woman, and you know it.

What's the point in this. Are you just bored or attention seeking?

nottellingyou101 · 26/11/2018 23:11

If you read what I said. It's not painting, it is something else creative. If my partner saw it she would know it was me.

Do I want my online privacy. Yes, just like I didn't want her to know I wasn't 100% happy previously / figure out it was me.

VerbeenaBeeks · 26/11/2018 23:11

I don't care if you're man or woman, SAHM or SAHD.
My answer still stands whether if you're wifey or husbandy at home.
It's not good either way.

nottellingyou101 · 26/11/2018 23:11

Go away Bluntness

nottellingyou101 · 26/11/2018 23:12

Verbeena Okay. Appreciate your opinion.

OP posts:
CardinalCat · 26/11/2018 23:12

You didn't just 'omit to mention you were a man'- you posted about your size 10 body and great tits and were goady as fuck. I think you need help.

VerbeenaBeeks · 26/11/2018 23:12
Biscuit

crack on then.

nottellingyou101 · 26/11/2018 23:14

Cardinal. I think you need help because you think I need help.

OP posts:
VerbeenaBeeks · 26/11/2018 23:14

Lol good point cardinal! In awe of the man tits and size 10 body myself then.
Whatevs, this thread is full of shit lol Grin

madmum5811 · 26/11/2018 23:15

As a man depending on who you listen to 21 units is fine. I guess a guy has a bigger frame, tolerance level. Who knows, its all so bloody confusing.

billiby · 26/11/2018 23:16

You're a bit odd OP, but you make more sense as a man, so it's not all bad.
