To get drunk when in sole care of the Dc?

[TheDevilWearsPrimark]

I'm bloody fed up tonight.

Had a glass of wine.. but a couple of G%T's would go down a treat.

Gin and tonic...what's the worst that could happen.....

I misunderstood you then
sorry

I'm tipsy, had a few glasses of wine. I can't drive (but my car is snowed in anyway) but I could look after the kids if they woke up ill.

I don't get the problem. I'm not going to drink myself to oblivion. Do what you feel comfortable with. Everyone is different. My friend won't drink at home with her DC but will take a sleeping pill to sleep which I think is far worse.

FA maybe you are a heavier sleeper than me - maybe you sleep through a fire alarm.

Bollocks

I think my DC are at no risk - it was a lighthearted thread because hell yeah I'm having another right now.

I'll check n in the morning - if we are still alive.

It's ok I'll go back to the cbb thread,

Fine dwp

You asked

I'm not gonna talk to someone who's being rude

and fwiw yabu

bollocks right back at you.

Oh and when I've gone out on a bender (DH sober at home) it's always me that's got up in the night with the kids and he's slept through!

i'm shitfaced, and took the batteries out of my smoke alarm in case it wakes me...hic!...

So lone parents aren't allowed to drink?

You know you've had enough when the bottle's empty (wine, not gin. i'm not an ALCOHOLIC for god's sake).

dial 999 in case of emergency, or the local Dominoes in absence of one.

fa what a daft post.you know answer will be you're a tit to be incapable in charge of a child.but there is drunk giggly and drunk out of it.post that sort of post expect a pasting

woo hoo g&t and cheese sarnie, you go girl!

Good grief. I've never been pissed at home alone with the kids, but thats just because I don't tend to get drunk on my own. When the husband and I have been out to parties should I make him stay sober or should we make the babysitter stay over until the morning? And should I feel very, very guilty about our new year eve? 8 kids asleep upstairs, 8 adults downstairs, but not a single one of them in a fit state to drive.

also, if you are worried about not waking up for DC in the night, put them in with you, but remember to put your fag out before you fall asleep.

I don't get it SM

it's aibu

I said yabu

what's the problem?

Juney I'm a single parent and I never drink

I didn't say no one shoudl drink

I assumed drunk meant somewhat impaired

i wouldn't do it myself.

You cant drink and drive anyway, you might spill it.

FA,bad typo i meant fs.not addressing to you

Neither me nor DP can drive when we're sober.

Can someone explain how this impacts on my parenting?

Oh ok SM, thanks. I'm glad you said that.

my tpying is notoriously shite fa

I am rarely sober at the weekend during the evening. If my children need to go to hospital I will call an ambulance. I don't think you need a driving licence to be a parent.

I'd have maybe up to a bottle of wine. I know that after that much I'd still be aware of them needing me, be able to ring a taxi, a family member, deal with the usual middle of the night stuff.
I wouldn't get completely twatted though.

OP, how old are your kids?

Guess it depends on how "drunk" you mean by drunk.
Being drunk in control of a child under the age of 7 is a criminal offence.

Ah, I was wondering about that Fibilou.
