[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here- 12:47 you are coming off as extremely judgmental. Are you the same person from the Amanda Knox thread who thinks smoking pot makes you a murderer? and now drinking makes you a bad parent/baby killer?

I am sad for the family, not sure what the story is but I wouldn't assume a glass of wine made this women kill her child.[/quote]

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]

I disagree. It's fine to have one glass of wine while in charge of children. You need to be able to drive, of course, in case an emergency arises, so if you can't drive safely on one glass of wine, don't have it. Otherwise, one glass of wine or one beer is fine. Now that all my children sleep through the night, I am much more capable of taking care of them on one glass of wine than I was stone-cold sober and deliriously sleep-deprived with a baby.[/quote]

I know, right?  Sleep deprivation affects me much worse than a glass of wine - by the "one sip = negligence" rule, it seems that you have no option but to sleep train super early - what if something happens to your newborn, and you only slept for two hours the night before?[/quote]

You won't go to jail if your child gets hurt and you're sleep deprived. Now, if you're drunk and you hurt them you'll definitely pay for it.[/quote]

I don't care about jail; I care about my children being safe. I couldn't do much about the sleep deprivation at the time but it did scare me. I drove with them in the car only when I really needed to.

Now, I can do something about whether or not to have the one glass of wine and I have it. I'm not drunk. They don't get hurt.

I have to wonder if the one person who is really objecting to any alcohol doesn't drink. If you don't have at least one drink once a week or so, you might have this unrealistic view about what happens when others have one drink.[/quote]
