[quote=Anonymous]We are going to have an August membership to a pool and DH has already indicated that he plans to be there every day possible with DS (who will be 5 at the end of the summer). I know what he's most excited about is drinking beer with our friends that belong to the same pool, so I just very calmly told DH that I am not comfortable with him drinking while he's at the pool alone with DS. He got defensive and said, basically, we'll be in the pool the whole time so I won't be drinking but I'm definitely going to drink a beer on the way there. I didn't get into details about, for example, the 15 minute break the kids have to take every hour... my guess is his natural tendency would be to down a beer then...

This is a big deal, right? Drinking and solo parenting at the pool don't mix? How do I get that through his head? (His answer is I always need to go with them. I get home from work later and may or may not meet them there. I don't like the pool as much but the appeal to him is, you guessed it, drinking a beer in the sun).

I'm pissed at him about some other stuff right now (election related) so that's not helping... feeling like we have nothing in common and totally different outlook on life... ugh. [/quote]
