[quote=Anonymous]My parents are coming to my house (staying with us for 5 nights as they are flying from another part of the country) for Thanksgiving. My father was at one point an alcoholic and, like so many alcoholics, has to make the choice every day to not have a drink. He did go to a rehab program several years ago. This holiday will be my DH's first day off in a long time, and he will be excited to relax -- including having some beers and watching football, and having a drink with dinner. Frankly, with extended family - even my own - I would want to have a drink (or two) with dinner, too. My mother seems to think there should be no alcohol for anyone during the length of their stay. I want to be supportive, but that's a lot to ask, especially of my DH. If he can't have a drink in his own home during his day off, he sure isn't going to want to host my parents frequently. What to do? [/quote]
