Ovr's parents suck because they wake up and drink coffee til 10, then it's nothing but beer the rest of the day, being drunk by noon-1 because they have so many in those couple of hours. Even knowing I'm pregnant, his step dad tries forcing me to drink with him and gets pissed when I tell him no. They both try and make Ovr drink even though he's going to be driving. His mom is still buzzed when she goes to work as a friggin nurse, and shakes the whole time she's working because she can't have a beer. Neither of them bathe but once a week, and that's pretty frequent for them.
I think what gets me the most about them is we'll all gather for a birthday party for ovr's nieces or nephew, all of them being under 12 yrs old, and his parents still have to have beer. Drive dunk to the party, drink while they're there, drive even more drunk home. The grand kids have literally never seen them sober.
The bolded! That is *** NUTS!
I don't understand people who get blitzed around kids! That horrifies me! Having a drink or two is fine while gabbing with the rest of the adults, but people need self-control. Usually, kids are tucked away if we all decide to convene in someone's garage. Long-range baby montiors and excuse yourself to go check-up every so often.
I hate people who try to make you drink too! I've never had someone do that now, but it irks me when you're not in the mood and people try to force it.
Alcoholism is bad, but blaming the drink is bad, that's just pure stupidity right there, people can say "it's an addiction" all they want, but it's still their choice.
That's exactly how I feel about the matter! Take some responsibility for your choices and your behavior. If you feel you're getting out-of-line, then stop! Simple.
