To have drunk a glass of wine.

[LynetteScavo]

DH phoned to say he is leaving the office, and is on his way home.

Way-hey , I thought, and poured my self a glass of wine (which I've downed quite quickly)

He's now phoned to say he's run out of petrol (serves him right for always thinking he can drive around with the orange light on) and that he is going to walk to the nearest petrol station with a his petrol can (which he has in the car)

I said "I would have come and got you, but I've had a glass of wine, so I can't)

He said "Fine" in a narky tone, and hung up.

Is it really that unreasonable to open the wine? I have warned DC to be careful becuase I can't drive them to A&E if they need to go. (They were sliding down the stairs in their sleeping bags)

Of course not, you weren't to know! It's Friday night!

Ignore him - he's been caught out being an idiot and knows that you have every right to say, "I told you so".

Have another glass.

YANBU - your DH is a numpty to have run out of petrol. Have another one while you wait for him to come home.

Nah, serves him right.

You go and enjoy another glass.

yanb uuuuuuu at all

What wine are you drinking?

I will then decide if yabu ot not

Leopards Leap Pinotage Shiraz 2007.

I prefer a good Merlot, but it's gone down quite easily.

YADNBU!!

gratuitous use of numpty.love it

have another and go for it with gusto.

YANBU and your Dh is prob at looking like as 17yr old running out of fule!

When he gets in give him a hug and ask if he enjoyed his walk.

Yanbu and your dh knows that. He's just pissed off with himself, and annoyed that he has to do the walk. He's not annoyed with you.

When he gets home be sympathetic, but absolutely not apologetic.

I've had 2 already.

Well, he's home bearing much needed loo roll, and not complained his diner was burnt.

All is forgiven in the Scavo household.

My booze is too haaaaaard, I want it, but it is in the cupboard, I would have to go there, open that cupboard, get it out, then cross the room and get a glass from another cupboard and as it is tequila then I would have to cut a lime and so on...you see the problem.

I can't open a bottle of wine, I only want one glass and it just isn't as good if you put the cork back in.

It is all just so awful.

I wonder what the response would have been if you had just left work and unfortunately ran out of petrol and when you rang your husband to help you he was laying into the wine, whilst the kids were rumbling down the stairs in sleeping bags.

I hope you saved him a glass.

Crack on I say. He'll get over it. He just feels like a bit of tit for running out of fuel. And in the unlikely event that any of you need to go to A&E there are always ambulances.

your DH is a numpty. have abother glass and forget about it!

Can you imagine, a drunk mum calling an ambulance for her kids early on a friday night, and when they ask where her husband is, she can tell them he is walking to a garage to get some fuel because he ran out and when he rang her for assistance she couldnt help because she was over the limit, but she was mindful to remind him that the kids were doing potentially dangerous activities so he had better get a riggle on

Can you imagine? Working all day, running out of fuel, having to walk to the garage, your mrs saying get a move on as if the kids hurt themselves you are on duty, getting home to a sloshed wifey and a burnt dinner.

Glad dh home and less grumpy. My dh has often turned up at home to find children running riot (his and others) and myslef and another mum haf-way down a bottle of wine. He just joins in and catches up

I had to call a cab to take ds to a & e at easter. Ds had stomach severe pains and I was rather merry after having a boozy lunch at the pub for my birthday.

Had to tell the doc and nurses that I had been at the pub because I'm sure they would have smelt the alcohol They were fine about it and just wished me a happy birthday .

My DD broke her arm on Christmas Day one year. We were far too pissed to take her to A&E. For a few days, actually.
But, in our defence, we didn't realise what she'd done. She didn't complain about it much. Just said it hurt.
The staff didn't say much apart from "yeah, it happens"

Oh, and in the light of Rousse just said, I think your DH is being a Jolly Good Egg about all this. Pour him a large one!

Oh lordy Rousse, I am so very glad I'm not married to you...

I'm also not quite understanding how, if the OP had only had one glass of wine, how she was utterly unable to go and fetch him.

Oh, and I think YANB remotely U. It's Friday!

Imagine being so drunk you don't realise that your child has broken their arm. The pain they must have been in. Being so drunk that you are too drunk to drive for several days. Being grateful that the staff at the hospital let you off the 'moral and guilt' hook.
