NP here and I agree. Something's off with this case. |
I told you to shut up because you're a judgmental asshole. That's not being defensive. That's calling a spade a spade. Sorry, if you can't take the heat.... And maybe go see someone about those issues you're having. |
I think you have a serious problem you're trying to pretend you don't. Please look into it for the sake of your children (if - god forbid - you have any). I have no problems with alcohol. I don't drink when I'm in charge of my children and I save this kind of entertainment for when only adults are present. I have this issue very well resolved in my life and you're the only one here sounding like you don't. You're cursing, yelling and super defensive - and that says a lot about you. |
HA HA! Yeah, OK. Calling people drunks when they have one glass of wine is clearly evidence of being "very well resolved in your life" around this issue. OK. Yeah. Keep telling yourself that. |
You're saying one glass but who knows the truth, right? Anyway, this is sad, very sad. |
|
NP here- 12:47 you are coming off as extremely judgmental. Are you the same person from the Amanda Knox thread who thinks smoking pot makes you a murderer? and now drinking makes you a bad parent/baby killer?
I am sad for the family, not sure what the story is but I wouldn't assume a glass of wine made this women kill her child. |
I'm not in that thread but I was just responding to a person who seemed to be making excuses to drinking while in charge of little ones. It's never OK, being it one bottle or one sip. Once one decides to be a parent they should be mature enough to know better. Alcohol definitely has its place and it doesn't belong with watching little children. |
Thank you, sane person
She probably didn't have "just one drink." There is more going on. But it just doesn't make sense to call anyone who has had a glass or two of wine (or a bottle of beer, what have you) in their home on occasion when they are caring for their children a drunk, either. |
you don't see this an extreme- so for 18 years while you have a child in your care, one sip is completely out of the question unless you have a babysitter or something? |
|
I really hope that the police are seriously looking at other suspects. Looking at the mom is fine, as long as she isn't their only focus. Rare or not, non-parental abductions do happen, and I'd hate for them to miss other leads. A failed polygraph or a glass of cheap wine is not evidence.
|
Where did the mother say it was "just one glass"? She said she was DRUNK. If you can't tell the difference, well... I think you're the one with issues. |
I have to disagree. I have found moderate drinking to be an excellent complement to looking after children. |
Not for 18 years but if I'm the only one in charge I'd rather be alcohol free. I worked as a life guard for a good chunck of my youth and I've seen ugly things happen with people who had only one glass. I would want to be sober and ready to go in case of a fire, a medical emergency, home burglary or just a scared kid who had a nightmare. I've been taking turns drinking with groups of friends as soon as we were allowed to drink and we never had a problem with that. OTOH, I've seen sad things happen when a sober person was needed. I come from a place where the tolerance for alcohol is zero so you cannot drive, operate machinery or go to work if you had what you call "just one glass" why would I want to jeopardize the safety of my family for that little pleasure? My peace of mind is more valuable than that sip of alcohol. And I'm sorry if I sounded so judgmental but we know what drunk people sound like when they try to make excuses, there's no need to pretend anything here. We're all anonymous anyway. |

NP here. I'm not a drinker, but couldn't the same be applied to taking cold/allergy/anti-depressants, etc.? I've taken meds where they've made me loopy or sleepy. There are a lot of things that have similar effects of alcohol. |
| where did she say she was drunk? |
