To think my little boy is an absolute sweetheart?

[Maythefoursbewithyou]

I don't drink often, almost never because I'm terrible at it. Anyway, a series of strange events yesterday meant that I ended up very much on the sauce and quite pickled when I went to bed at around 3am.
Husband is very asleep and I woke up about an hour ago feeling bloody rotten. My 7 year old came into my bed with a tin of biscuits and a pint of squash and had put ' call the midwife' on my work computer which doubles as the TV for my bedroom. I just couldn't love this kid any more right now. What a little legend he is. I don't deserve him. Currently smashing my way through some custard creams and watching my favourite show with the cutey next to me and feeling so bloody lucky. Lazy day incoming. Anyone else just get blown away sometimes by how nice their kids are and Wonder where it came from?

huh? you got very pissed OP.

Aww, that sounds so lovely! Enjoy your lazy day. I sometimes wish mine was young enough to still want to snuggle but he's 16 so no chance of that 😂

how did he know you were hungover?

Cue lots of negative incoming comments about the fact that you got drunk as a one off though 🙄

And how to treat one?

This thread is a bit weird 😂

i don’t give a hoot if OP gets trashed on a sat night or not

but someone who basically never drinks doesn’t generally end up getting off their face until 3am due to “strange events” and then their 7 year old knowing what to do in response to their hangover 🤷

I feel a bit sorry for your son but I can’t quite articulate why. Is this the first time he has had to step in like this?

But he sounds sweet and kind. A lovely boy.

Oh it was a one off?
Didn't spot that, but still a touch concerning where op and dh asleep past 10 and 7 year old knew to bring biscuits and squash

Aye, right.

🥱

Presumably because a 7 year old would love to be able to have squash and biscuits for breakfast, so in his mind that's what his mum needed to "cheer her up"

I never want biscuits and squash, I want coffee and a bacon sandwich and certainly not call the midwfe (misses point of thread)

Poor kid, doesn't sound like it's a once of. I have teenagers and they have never had to bring me food or drink because I was hungover in bed. I have had hangovers, definately not a Saint but my kids would never have known as I would make sure I was up to take care of them.

I'm not in the UK at the moment, so could be 2 hours ahead on my timing

More concerned that a 7yo was unattended by either parent this morning to the point he had to wake you up after 10am.

i wonder if the poor boy has any siblings or whether he’s just been alone whilst both parents conked out

Agreed.

Kids are too mollycoddled nowadays, and do none of them understand hair of the dog??

He should've cooked a full English and provided a pint of lager 😁

Oh yes, never thought of that. This reminds me when I was fostering a four year old boy and during a social workers visit he was pretending to be a waiter in a restaurant. The trouble is he kept coming over to me saying "would you like some red wine, would you like some more red wine, would you like another bottle of red wine".

And then everyone clapped...

🤣

Sounds negligent to me.
Ok for parents to take turns to have a weekend lie in but young children shouldn't be left to fend for themselves like yhst.

Is DH up?
I guess if you were in bed later than normal DS maybe thought you were ill so gave you what he would like if he was poorly?
When I was 16 I broke up with my boyfriend and was distraught. My younger brother (bit older than 7) went to the shop to buy me a Mars bar and ran me a bath. No idea why he thought that was the right thing to do but it was!

He is 7, not 2. I am sure he can cope in his own home for a few hours when he knows his parents are upstairs.

He should have indeed 🤣
