Husband solo drinks when looking after children

[Allthecolours55]

Hi I work shifts and and my husband works opposite me. We have two children 5 and 3 years. I have often found that he has been drinking (about 4 cans of beer) when he is looking after the children. When I've confronted him about it he laughs it off. Am I being unreasonable? He is not drinking with any other adults when he's at home.

I'm a single parent, am I supposed to never drink?

I have been a single parent for 4 years. When my children relied solely on me I did not drink for that reason. What if an emergency happened?

Its a lot really 70-80 units. Weekly. Ive left my husband for doing similar. Started off ok convinced me i was the one with the problem but then he turned into a short tempered, angry man. Drinking came first and everything revolved around that. I didnt think it was right for the kids to grow up with seeing him always clutching a can. We had the talk numerous times, clearly he didn't want to change so i left with the kids. There was more too it but cba to write it all up. The sound of a can opening in the end did my head in, him sneaking around putting cans carefully in the bin so i wouldnt hear etc. my recycle bin is barely full these days!

He’s not drunk as drinks every day so body is used to it

no need for daytime drinking esp looking after kids. He would be over limit to drive

your dh is an alcoholic

same as mine is. Well ex now as I had enough of his drinking

beer 5% went to strong beer like tenants super 9% which went to vodka eventually

this will become a problem

he’s hiding and lying

my advice is to divorce him as kids and you deserve better

it took me a few years to say enough :no more

no one wants to be a single parent but life is honestly better for dd and me now

and yes ex still drinks and I fear he will die from it
