I'm not in that thread but I was just responding to a person who seemed to be making excuses to drinking while in charge of little ones.

It's never OK, being it one bottle or one sip.

Once one decides to be a parent they should be mature enough to know better. Alcohol definitely has its place and it doesn't belong with watching little children.[/quote]

you don't see this an extreme- so for 18 years while you have a child in your care, one sip is completely out of the question unless you have a babysitter or something?[/quote]

Not for 18 years but if I'm the only one in charge I'd rather be alcohol free. I worked as a life guard for a good chunck of my youth and I've seen ugly things happen with people who had only one glass.

[b]I would want to be sober and ready to go in case of a fire, a medical emergency, home burglary or just a scared kid who had a nightmare. I've been taking turns drinking with groups of friends as soon as we were allowed to drink and we never had a problem with that. OTOH, I've seen sad things happen when a sober person was needed. [/b]

NP here.  I'm not a drinker, but couldn't the same be applied to taking cold/allergy/anti-depressants, etc.?  I've taken meds where they've made me loopy or sleepy.  There are a lot of things that have similar effects of alcohol.[/quote]

PP you quoted here.

I completely understand and I had to take such medication before. On those days, DH skips the drinks - he'll skip his drink too if I'm the one having a sip that night. We always have one adult drug free when there's children under our care. We never had or heard of a tragedy when this precaution was taken. We co-slept for a long time and this is one of the guidelines in co-sleeping. If one of the parents has drugs in their organism they should not be sleeping with the child. It's not hard at all if you have your priorities straight - in case of the alcohol - or if you're mature enough to make the right choice - in case of the medication.[/quote]

I love how you refer DH as having "drinks" and you have a "sip."  You sound like such a tool.[/quote]

Are you by any chance the OP going all bonkers because your friend says her husband "babysits" or "helps" with the kids?[/quote]
