My husband...... is a 41-year-old child and I hate him.
Our 8-year-old is actually better behaved.
He is a heavy drinker and drinking is the main root of the problems we have.
He drinks a 10-pack of Carling within a few hours, to me, 10 cans of beer should last at least a night and maybe some left over for the next night?
I am not a drinker, I am almost tea total because I do not see the point in alcohol. Never have, never will.
Anyway, my reason for my post.
2 hours after we got home from shopping he had nearly finished his 10 pack and asked me to go out and get 4 more cans. I said no.
Its cold, icey and we have left over snow all over our estate and I didn't fancy driving down to the shops. I told him to walk himself. He got all huffy and explained how it would be much quicker for me to drive, plus he would get cold walking.
Then the pleases started. Please, Please, Please.......to the point our 8 year old turn to me and said, can you just go mummy to keep him quiet (we were trying to watch a film). Realising our little one was getting upset I gave in and went.
14 cans drank in total and at 6.30pm he went to bed. He wanted me and our son to go to bed at the same time too (because he can not go alone) - stood my ground on this and said no I want to watch Strictly (Thankyou football!). He sulked but took himself off to bed.
See, I have a 41 year old child.
This happens about 2-3 times a week, sometimes more, sometimes less. The drinking is just one of our problems, we have many but 14 cans is alot isnt it?
