As long as you’re not drinking to get shit-faced or buzzed and it’s really is a drink or two (possibly three), it’s fine!
Nahhhhhh, as parents we give up SO much for our babes and I think having a few drinks at the end of a hard day to relax is the least of anyone’s problems!
I’d tell my mother in law to f**k off and don’t come back until she wants to have a wine and watch the kids run around the back yard.

Hell no you’re not wrong I normally have a glass of wine when I do my homework at night. It helps me unwind and get motivated most the time my child awake it’s not like I’m belligerently drunk and setting a bad example. Some people just need to mind your business and worry about their own children and actions.
I think it’s good for your kids to see u drinking shows them that it’s normal n not a bad thing n u show them u can drink without getting drunk so come high school they won’t go crazy cus it wasn’t a big tabu thing growing

The only thing toxic here is your mother in law 
Your house, your rules. Moderation is absolutely fine. You’re a full grown adult, and another adult is trying to control your life. I can’t imagine the audacity. She would have been thrown out like yesterdays wine bottle

First off, your house, your rules! I applaud your husband for being man enough to stand up for you:clap:
Secondly, she has no right to tell you how to parent and especially to tell at you in your home!
People have different beliefs. I will have a glass of wine or something in front of my kids or my husband will have a beer. We let them know that it Is for adults only. I would not get drunk to where my senses are impaired because my kids would burn the house down😜
If your mother in law is dramatic enough to cause family drama over this, you are probably better of keeping your distance. Good luck love and give that hubby some

There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a drink or 2. Me personally since I’ve had my kids I dont drink at all even Christmas I dont it’s just not a thing I like anymore. But my husband has a drink every now and then especially when he isnt working and we are relaxing there is nothing wrong with it at all. Your husband is amazing for standing up for you to his parents. I hate my in laws and I thank god every day we havent had contact with them in 11 years xx

Im on the fence about this. I did not drink in front of my children (they are grown now) I do drink but only socially. MIL could have approached differently. But, this made me think if a woman wrote my hubby has drinks every night “never gets buzzed” (kinda sounds like a alcoholic??) So where is the line? CPS would see that as an issue. Ask yourself why? Yes your home your rules and your family morals and values. Besides MIL may have had a bad experience with a drinker in her life. Myself I would maybe not make it as obvious plastic cup not wine glass, and stay aware as to my daily consumption. But times are different now.
You are not wrong. Enjoy a drink or 2.

Nopeee i NEVER drink around my kids, ever! Just my opinion
Our rule is as long as someone in the house is safe to drive in case of emergencies. I personally wouldn’t agree with multiple drinks in front of the child, but a glass of wine with dinner is more than fine.

I was getting dirty looks a few weeks ago at dinner because I had a cocktail and a beer. Our 2 year old was with us. Hubby wasn’t drinking and he was driving. We were celebrating my new job offer.
It’s just one of those backwards American things.

I feel like showing your kids that drinking responsibly as healthy lifestyle, is better than only showing drinking alcohol in a negative light. Drinking isn’t only for parties, getting drunk, or forming an addiction… it can be a social and relaxing experience as well. You’re great for showing your kids healthy drinking habits <3 And SHOUT OUT to the husband for stepping in

It’s good for kids to see what healthy drinking is. So, when they’re around black outs they will no that behavior is not normal and to steer clear. That’s amazing your husband stood his ground and asked her to leave. Absolutely nothing wrong with having a few !

I understand where she’s coming from in a way she would want the kids to be asleep so u can drink comfortable and not have to worry about the kids running around while u drink but I also understand you 100! Sometimes us moms need a Fkn break some chill time and I don’t see what’s wrong with u having some drinks in front of ur kids I’m glad ur husband was on ur side and sent her home try to reach out to her after all she is ur kids grandmother and she will always want what she thinks is best for them you did nothing wrong don’t feel bad for ANYTHING!

Absolutely not. I have a couple white claws at the end of the night while my oldest is awake (other two go to sleep early) but I’m still more than capable of caring for all three, and she just thinks mommy is having a grown up soda and thinks nothing else of it. She’s not allowed to have soda so there’s no conflict there. Momming is hard. You’re doing nothing wrong. Don’t let her comments bother you!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. She was in the wrong!
Ummm hell no, there is absolutely no way someone is coming into MY house telling me what I can and can’t do around MY children. If they are safe, taken care if and happy there is so reason for anyone to tell you sh*t!
I don’t drink but once in awhile and it does irk me when both parents are drinking while out with their kids lol but at home drink away sister, parents deserve to unwind safely too!! So happy your husband stuck up for you and sent her on her way.
As long as there is an adult other than u there ur in the right even if ur buzzed.

I see nothing wrong with it. On easter we had “dinner” at 3. At 4pm I had a couple wine coolers while we were all outside 🤷
If you were loaded and it was daily there is an issue but from this tell her to let the door hit her where the good lord split her. Seriously out of line.

Ummmm I was super buzzed on vacation this week with the kids. My husband was driving and not drinking. I will have a few drinks in my house when the kids are up. It’s not a big deal unless you making a big deal. The kids don’t give a crap.
Unless it’s a bbq or something, most people generally wait until their kids are in bed.

Offs. Drink as much as you want as long as you can still take care of them.
