[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a child of an alcoholic and grew up around so many relatives drunk on the regular. I do not allow my children to be around ANY of them. Full stop. No apologies, and if you ask why, I will be direct. I don’t want my children around heavy drinkers for any length of time. Period. Non-negotiable. I wouldn’t care if it were an in-law or if they were a guest in my house. I seriously would remove ALL of the alcohol right now if she’s staying with you. Am I over the top, maybe but I don’t care. I had no agency over my surroundings as a kid. I hated seeing my relatives and mother drunk. [/quote] I was the one who advised being direct above and I had the same experience growing up - with one parent and a few other family members being active alcoholics. People may not change, but they absolutely need to hear how their behavior is affecting others. Don't just "uninvite" them.[/quote]
