too many drinks

[mumofone2818]

I have not been drunk in 2 years since DD, my DP is out with friends, my beautiful DD is down for the night and I have had a few glasses that have honestly went straight to my head.

I am dancing around my livingroom myself whispering the words so i dont wake up DD & giving her long cuddles when I check in on her.

I feel like I shpuld be embarrassed for being a bit tipsy myself, but honestly I feel great! I feel happy relieved less depressed/anxious all in the one!

I know its not really an AIBU but i wanted to share!

I love this! Hope you enjoy your night!

Who's responsible for DD if you're dancing around your living room eith a wobbly wine head and your DP is out with friends?

YES! Sounds like fun!! I do this sort of thing sometimes - usually sit on the sofa, glass of wine in my hand with headphones on and my favourite, lively music. It's such a nice break. Enjoy! (And get a pint of water down your neck before you go to sleep)

GreenGrove as the OP has written a cohesive post while enjoying her wine, it's unlikely she's slumped in the corner in an alcoholic stupor. I'm sure her 2yo DD will be fine.

Oh I forgot some people on MN think you should give up alcohol whilst in the presence of your children, for at least 18 years as well!

Oh stop judging Greengrove. OP sounds just fine, I think most people have a couple of glasses of wine even with children in the house- don't be ridiculous! Enjoy your evening OP

FGS, OP can type coherently, she’s hardly passed out in an alcoholic stupor.

Of course you should be sat upright on the sofa with TV volume very low sipping water op. Doncha know

GreenGrove So you've never had a drink of wine when looking after DC?

YABU OP

I mean what if your house got attacked by mutant bagpipe playing spiders and you needed medical treatment as a result?

You wouldn't be able to drive and there's no such thing as taxis remember, so no point saying you'd phone one

Oh good I love a drunk thread . You enjoy your wine hun . I'd join you but I'm a bit fuzzy head from last night .

I think there's a difference between having a glass or two of wine when compared to being solely responsible for a 2 year old whilst starting a mumsnet thread titled 'too many drinks'. If you're at a point that you're dancing around your living room and having 'long cuddles' with your sleeping(?) DD then you need to stop. Yes, I'm sure everything will be fine.. until something unexpected goes awry and you have to interact with a nurse or doctor of similar. I just think it's just irresponsible and sloppy

Green lighten up, seriously.

My DD sleeps through from 8-7 (not that i should have to explain that). & if she were to wake up upset I would feel normal instantly as I imagine all mothers do when there child is in need.

Thank you everyone! It is great to feel a bit relaxed & normal for once and dance like an idiot in my own livingroom while having a few glasses!

DP is on his way home with some food for us then maybe another glass for me

2 paracetamol and a big glass of water before bed to stop the headache in the morning!

Thank you for your kind words, I hope you all had a great christmas

With you completely except paracetamol by your bed for the morning and not before bed. Enjoy your night

I'll have another glass in solidarity OP. Enjoy yourself. A dire situation is unlikely to arise so don't worry & Lee your phone charged & with you 😁

I'm not having any today. Have one for me! I expect it will help when the mutant bag pipe playing spiders attack your house

You don't need permission to have a drink OP, as long as you're with it enough to care for your child just enjoy it

Why would anyone ‘love this’?

MN is turning into FB.

Oh dear Gaia, OP. DO NOT take paracetamol before bed. If you have an ulcer, it can cause it to bleed, plus it will not prevent a headache. Just drink a pint of water before bed, after you’ve had more wine, of course. Enjoy.

If you mean with people judging others posts and putting the equivalent of the angry emoji on, yes it is. Other than that, I just think it’s someone having a bit of fun and there’s nothing wrong with that.

When i was younger i always went to bed taking 2 painkillers and a glass of water but I will stick with just water thank you! DD sometimes wakes up around 4/5 for a drink of water if I have a sore head I will take them then!

I am very capable of looking after my DD, just because its labelled too many drinks doesn't mean I am paralytic, I would never put my child in harms way thank you very much. I normally only have a few glasses ( full bottle does 2 fglasses as there big ones) when DP is here but I know my limit for all the mum shamers that will appear!

DP is bringing home a doublecheeseburger & chips and will wash it down with a pint of water!

Being a SAHM with no friends is hard but thank you to you lovely people cheering me on for letting myself be relaxed & chilled for once, children are hard work but oh my are they worth it all!

GreenGrove shut up. Shes checking on her child, hardly out of control drunk. Always someone on here being judgy. Those are probably the least perfect of all parents.

Oh I forgot some people on MN think you should give up alcohol whilst in the presence of your children

To be fair you should at least be sober enough to drive. If you’re not sober enough to drive, how on Earth are you sober enough to handle a child who might become ill or have an emergency?

Oh FFS lighten up! all this you should be sober enough to drive is utter bullcrap!

How do parents who dont drive manage?, They call a taxi!

OP enjoy the rest of your night.
