Oh, the action around here!
Alcohol is everywhere you turn. People, TV, Billboards etc.. I think that we have two choices; we can either be truthful to our children and speaking the truth to them about alcohol or you can have the system portray it for you. I am sure you see ...
I think occasional drinking itself is OK. However, drinking in front of kids doesn't sound right. Kids imitate and learn from their parents all the time. For them, without understanding the limits and have a sense of self control, I think it can b...
It seems your right that she is in denial and until something bad happens that shows her otherwise. I'm sure she'll see the same thing in her kids when they get older.
I drink in front of my kids on occasion, and I don't see it as a problem. My thought is that if I see drinking in front of my kids as a problem, then I am probably not drinking responsibly. I would not want to drink in a way that would not be appr...
Good question. I think that it's okay to drink in front of your children. Now, I don't mean taking tequila shots and sucking down limes next to your fifteen year old, but a glass of wine or a beer every night at dinner isn't wrong. If you exercise...
Well, there is a difference between the occasional glass of wine and being an alcoholic. Children should be told they cannot have a sip of a grownup's drink and that should be the end of the discussion. Parents do not need to be getting hammered i...
An occasional drink is not bad, but drinking in excess can definitely send the wrong signal to children. I think that it's important to make kids aware of alcohol and the effects, but that should be done through talking, not first hand experience....
There is nothing wrong with drinking in front of your kids, per se. Hubby and I have a few beers at family parties, barbecues and when we go out to dinner. We also drink at home from time to time.
Having said that, the real issue in your friend's...
Good topic, but really too grey. In order to make a judgement call on this one, a lot more information would need to be considered. I do not think it is wrong to have a drink in front of your kids. I do think it is wrong to get hammered and especi...
Well, what your asking is kind of a skirted question. Do I drink in front of my kids? Sure. Do I get schnockered in front of them, pee on myself, and black out? No. See the difference?
I don't think having a few cocktails in front of my wee ones ...
Drinking in front of your kids is a bad idea and gets worse as the child grows. We know children learn what they live and emulate their parents. parents set the example, from having manners to cursing. However, if we explain (age appropriate) and ...
Having the occasional drink in the presence of your children is one thing, but if you're friend is bordering alcoholism...it's irresponsible not to mention dangerous; and that doesn't even include the negative psychological effects it could have o...
but having a drink here n there is not bad .. but she has a problem with drinking n then thats not good..
well when she goes to your house don't ever have any alcohol available>> there isn't much you can do..you already told her.. when people dont want to helped .. you just cant help them>> as a mother she should have stop n think to herself damn can ...
I have a glass of red wine on the weekend. Growing up, my parents would also occasionally have a glass of wine or a beer, but that was it, one drink and no more. My son knows that wine is an adult drink also. I don't think there is anything wrong ...
I think your bigger concern is that your friend is an alcoholic. I agree with Renegade Mom-find an Al-Anon meeting near you to learn more about how to handle the situation.
As for the greater question-I think responsible drinking is fine in front...
