ITT: people who apparently despise spending time with their kids so much, that they need to drink to enjoy it.
like WTF people...it's not an issue to have a glass of wine (or whatever) while spending time with your kids. But it's a fucking problem that you don't enjoy it without it.
ITT: someone making shit up and pretending it's happening ITT.
Buddy, parents spend a lot of time with their kids, and kids are exhausting. You're just coming across as intensely judgemental of anyone who drinks to unwind.
You just invented a person to be mad at.
Kids are exhausting? Really? Wow. Dont know what sort of kids you've been around.
Kids haven't forgotten how to have fun, they don't anything including themselves too seriously, and they ask all sorts of funny and zany questions.
As for drinking around kids: you never had a BBQ or get together with families?
Tell me you don't have children without saying you don't have children.
No...kid-ding. See what I did there?
I do and I love being a parent. Best job in the world.
/doubt
You doubt that being a parent is a great job?
I doubt that you're a parent. Any parent, anywhere on this planet, can admit that handling children can be exhausting and frustrating work at times.
So you're either: an idiot, or a liar. Take your pick.
If they're exhausting or frustrating to you, then you're doing something wrong as a parent.
I've got all the time in the world for my kid, and I'm happy for it to be that way. If you think I'm an idiot for doing so, so be it.
I honestly can't tell if you're trolling me or you're deranged.
We all love our children. We can also, all of us, except you apparently, admit that having two toddlers running around screaming is not serene or zen. Neither is having a diaper explosion in the car seat. Neither is having a baby throw up directly into your open mouth. Neither is dealing with a temper tantrum in the super market. Neither is getting two hours of sleep before work because your baby is teething. Neither is speeding to the ER in the middle of the night because your child has a high fever and they're barely responsive. Neither is finding your toddler shoving crayons up their nose, and when asked why the response simply being "iuuunnnooo".
You seem like an agreeable person all things considered. I really don't understand why this is the hill you've chosen to die on. Kids are a lot of work. It's tough sometimes. This is not a cosmic mystery.
Have you been around children?
Have you? Because this attitude is something I only see from people that either don't have kids or spend any significant amount of time interacting with children in their spare time.
And to answer your question, I have two kids of my own, neither of them require me to drink alcohol to enjoy their company.
I have a child yes. Kids are fucking annoying to some people bro.
No one is saying kids require you to drink. The idea that having a glass of wine while playing games with kids and other adults is very puritanical of you. Do you come from a family of alcoholics or something? You'll be shocked to know many people also have an alcoholic beverage at dinner and their kids are there! 🤯
Did you even read my original comment? As I said, drinking alcohol around children is perfectly fine and normal...needing it to enjoy it, like several people mention or hint at ITT, is a problem.
You're a world-class moron.
You will need to pop xan and pump a line up your snots to enjoy babysitting my nieces
