thank you for posting this bizi!

hubby and i don't drink. or i guess you could say very very rarely. and never ever if we go out.

one little issue came up at thanksgiving. my X came which was nice, but he brought beer for himself to drink all day. he also brought a nice bottle of wine to have with dinner. this was one of the first times grandmonkey had ever been around him. still kept calling him bubba's dad instead of grandpa. at one point grandmonkey asked me what kind of soda it was cuz he had never seen that bottle.

since this was a nervous situation, i mean really...how many husbands invite thier wives x husband for the holidays... i felt wierd about asking him not to drink. we do not ever drink around the kids. the rare times we will have something might be a shot of hazelnut or choccy liquerer in our decaff after the monkeys go to bed.

has anyone ever been put in this situation? or what would you do? he will be back for christmas, since our daughter will be home from new jersey. yippee!

we have had HUGE parties here. i always make note on the invitaions about caring for the safety of our guests is very important. no alcohol will be served. i did make light of ot on our first house warming party. aboutit being a biggr house, butnot bog enough for everyone to sleepover.
