[quote=Anonymous]That is a tricky situation, OP. I think what I would do is to be sure either you or your husband refrain from drinking, to show your kids how to be responsible with a designated driver. My husband and I do this when we go out to eat dinner, we trade off and one time it's my turn for a glass of wine, then the next is his turn for a cocktail. While we're probably fine to drive after just one drink, we don't risk it and our kids see that. And I think that's really all you can do, short of risking alienating the others by bringing it up to them, or stopping going altogether, is to model appropriate behavior for your kids and continue to talk to them about it. "You see how Dad and I decide who gets to have an adult beverage, while the other is the driver..." [/quote]
