[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where is there a pool that allows drinking?[/quote]

Yes, I'd like to know, too... for "research."   :wink: [/quote]

High Point Pool, on the border of Arlington/Mclean/FCC allows drinking.  Glass bottles have to be kept in a cooler- but you can take them out to pour into a plastic cup.
We frequently have dinner at the pool and have wine with it- its lovely.[/quote]

this is OP, this is coincidentally the pool I am talking about. We are walking distance.

This is my concern: 
[quote]The pool with a non-swimmer is really somewhere you need to bring your A game so you, you know, don't drown your kid. I don't drink at the pool when I'm alone with my kids and I expect DH to do the same. Luckily he's not selfish so he doesn't have a problem with this.[/quote]

this is my concern. Maybe it's a little bit of a control thing but DH is not a great swimmer himself and DS is getting there but not swimming independently yet. I'm just not crazy about introducing alcohol into the mix. And frankly, this stems from the "norms" around alcohol in the families DH and I grew up in are very different. Drinking was and is an expected part of all social activities for DH's family (which is probably more typical) whereas my parents were more like, "should we go crazy and split a beer at dinner? tee hee hee." I think DH's family needs to drink to deal with each other.

Hopefully this message doesn't out me.

The election issue was in a nutshell that he doesn't want me to talk about politics with DS. DS at age 5 is more interested and more engaged in the election than DH, which just makes me sad and question my choice of a partner.  [/quote]
