[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here and I am really suprised that this practice appears to be so common.  If I saw parents walking their kids around with beers/open containers of alcohol i would think it is strange and inappropriate, too.

I feel like "professionals" get a pass for behavior that would likely be frowned upon (by those same folks!) if the behavior was exhibited by working class/poorer groups.

How long are you out trick or treating with your kids? Hour, hour and a half max? And you choose THAT short period to walk around the streets with your kids drinking? Very strange, frat-like indeed.

And for the record, I enjoy drinking alcohol. But there is a time and a place, people.[/quote]

I totally agree, and I don't think it's appropriate either.  I am disgusted by how many parents drink regularly in front of their young children.   Do they know that their kids go to preschool/daycare and act out how "Mommies drink wine at the Bunco party" and draw pictures of "my daddy drinking beer".   It happens A LOT.  [/quote]

I am totally fine with my kid drawing that picture or acting that out.  He understands that mommies and daddies sometimes drink beer or wine, and that it's for grown-ups.  I grew up where alcohol wasn't taboo, and regularly saw my parents model responsible drinking.  I hope to do the same for him.  And I hope he's able to enjoy a beer or a nice glass of wine responsibly when he grows up, because a great pinot really improves your life![/quote]
