[quote=Anonymous]DH and I have been fighting about his drinking. He has always been a drinker but I think it has escalated. 
He starts early in evening and by the time we need to put kids down he is grumpy and impatient. He is also so tired that he doesn’t help me when they wake up at night. 
He watched the kids the other weekend morning so I could catch up on sleep. I came downstairs at 10 am and he had already had two beers.
 I (understandably) get upset and his response “why does it matter? It’s the weekend” I stared at him with my mouth open...

It got me thinking...how do you explain other than “it’s not healthy/normal”....and why am I having to explain this?!
I did say that I will not expose my kids to this. He said, “oh so you won’t expose them to a loving father? Great idea”.....I weirdly kind of see where he is coming from with that one. I mean I don’t fear for their safety, I just do not think the drinking is anywhere near an acceptable level.

Thoughts? Advice? What can I say?!
