I figure that he'll have enough of it around outside of our house and not from us, he doesn't need it here too.... that and I'll never forget the day he came back from his dad's and told me that beer went in the fridge.... he was 3. =/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-around-your-kids#post-61735 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 10:15:46 +0000 heffalump 61735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't drink. My parents rarely drank, and it would be a glass of wine if that when they did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-around-your-kids#post-61726 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 09:25:35 +0000 chopsuey 61726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH occasionally has a beer/drink with his friends. I would prefer that he doesn't drink in front of our LO though, but at the same time I want to teach her to drink responsibly (if she drinks).<br /> I'm hoping she'll be like me and not drink though. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-around-your-kids#post-61723 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 09:13:56 +0000 Rubies 61723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad used to drink a beer almost every night at dinner. Heck, he'd make me go fetch one for him! He enjoyed his soju, scotch, whiskey, etc., too. I never saw him drunk but I knew even at a young age that whatever he was drinking was for grownups. </p> <p>I'm not much of a drinker - I think I might actually be allergic to alcohol - but I don't/won't have a problem having a drink in front of my kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-around-your-kids#post-61715 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 08:48:03 +0000 winniebee 61715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO isn't here yet, but I won't have a problem having a drink in front of my baby (or kid!) I don't have any plans to get tipsy in front of them but I don't think a glass of wine or beer (or 2) is bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-around-your-kids#post-61713 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 08:45:31 +0000 chicagowife 61713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. I probably have a glass of wine 3-4 nights a week, and I don't mind if she sees that. (She's still a baby.) I think if you're a responsible drinker who's not getting drunk, there's not a problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-around-your-kids#post-61698 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 08:08:48 +0000 Andrea 61698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet. She goes to bed at 6:30 so I can have a drink or two after she is in bed. But I am not a big drinker anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-around-your-kids#post-61697 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 07:33:12 +0000 mrbee 61697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm usually tired, so I can't drink around them or I would just fall asleep. After the sleep, I may have a glass of wine or two if the kids are sleeping well and not sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-around-your-kids#post-61694 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 07:30:20 +0000 mediagirl 61694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a kid, I remember my parents having a drink here or there but they weren't big drinkers and it wasn't ever a big deal. </p> <p>Do you drink around your kids? </p>
