[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband comes home about once every three weeks, slightly buzzed.  He takes the Metro, so no driving and the kids are in bed when he gets home.  I would be concerned about the driving.  Why can't he take public transportation on those nights.  [i][b]I would even go pick him up and take him back the next morning.  [/b][/i]Drinking and driving is not an option.

You would wake up your kids and get them out of their beds on a school night, pack them in the car for an hour or so and tell them that you need to go pick up Daddy b/c he got too drunk at work to drive home.  Then you would make the kids late for school or else be late for work yourself so that you could drive him back the bar where he was the night before to get his car.  And you would do this once or twice a month?  Really?  [/quote]

Yes, I really go pick him up.  My kids are 10 & 11, we live a mile from the metro.  I go pick him up, they are sleeping.  I'm back in less than five minutes.  Send me your number and you can report me the next time I do it.  They take the bus to school, so no one is late for work.  Nothing in my post was an exaggeration or lie.  My husband does not drive drunk or buzzed.[/quote]

I definitely think it's safer to leave your 10 & 11 y/o in bed at home than to let your husband drive drunk.  I was babysitting by the time I was 11.  And if the choice was to let DH drive drunk or wake up my 2 & 4 y/o to pick up DH and have them be tired the next day, I'd still rather do that than have DH drive drunk.  I'd be pissed and would definitely think DH had a problem if this was something that happened often, but it's still preferable than him risking his life, other's lives and our financial security.  My children would be much better off being sleep deprived than being fatherless and/or losing their home.[/quote]
