Its perfectly fine if its done in
moderation and everyone maintains their
composure. You cant modify every aspect
of your life just because you have kids.
Dont raise them to be prudes.

They cant remove your children for
drinking in your own home as long as you
remain civilized and responsible about it,
and dont give it to your kids.
Whoever told you that was either stupid or
misinformed.

Here in .Toronto, I know they won't take
away your child if one parent is sober.
That also goes for smokin' up a big fatty.
Would it be different where you are? Are
you sure they would take away your child?

Well obviously if both parents in the home
are drunk off their asses with the kids
around and no one else there to look after
them they deserve to have their children
taken away.
But no, not if its just a couple beers
over a few hours. Thats just ludacris.

I was at my friends house the other day
when someone called defacs and said there
was drinking going on in the house with
kids and they came out and told my friend
that they dont care if its 2 or 3 beers
its not responsible to do with kids around

Thats rediculous as long as its done
responsibly (i.E., in moderation, staying
sober) then theres nothing wrong with
it.
If that were the case, it should be
illegal for anyone with kids to purchase
alcohol.
Sounds stupid, huh? Theres a reason for
that.
It is.

They are right chase, they dont care if
you drink as long as one parent is civil
or that the one that is drunk is ready to
tak responisibility if one the kids is

Me and my boyfriend will be having a
couple of drinks on new years eve while
the kids are asleep. I think as long as
they are fast asleep and you could easily
look after them as normal if they wake up
then it is fine.
Alcohol isn't going to affect your kids
like smoking in the house cause there is
no fumes that are going to spread
throughout the house etc

i agree with you. If the kids are at the
babysitters house for the night -fine.
If you are out for the whole night -fine.
If theres 1 of you not drinking -fine.
But not while you are the one supposed to
be caring for your kids.

Yeah but there is a difference between
having a few drinks and getting pi$$ed.
It's all about knowing your own limit.
I know that with 2 drinks i'm fine but
after that it starts to effect me.
Therefore I will only be having a maximum
of 2 drinks. Im not out to get drunk or
even tipsy.

I think its fine to have a few responsible
drinks with kids in the house.Obviously
not enough for you to drunk.I think as
long as someone is in good enough
condition to deal with an emergency should
one arise (ei drive someone to the hosital
if needed) it should be fine.
My partner has worked in a pub for the
last 10 years and is really into the whole
drinking mentality.While my dad was an
alcoholic until I was little,he stopped
drinking when I was a baby and because of
that there was absolutely no drinking in
my house whatsoever.
Saying that I wont expect my partner to
give up having a few drinks in the night
every week or so.(i know he wouldnt happen
nightly or anything)as long as he doesnt
have too many.I dont really drink much at
all.Now that i've stopped drinking because
of the pregnancy I think that when I have
bub i'll only drink if I have a night out
on the town.Otherwise i'll always be sober
steve at home.

On christmas day, my hubby and I shared a
bottle of fizzy wine; I think drinking a
small amount is fine as long as you are
both capable of looking after the child
should you be needed. If you want to
drink to get pissed though then I think
you should either put your child with a
trusted babysitter or one of you stay
sober. I never drink when I am alone
with my child, not even a little bit. I
have no problems with my son seeing me or
my husband drink alcohol in a controlled
and moderate way; I want him to grow up
knowing how to be responsible with it.

I think as long as there's one sober
parent around it's fine. Mikey and I
would take turns, but we don't drink a lot
anyway so it's not often that it happens.

actually blaze, they still wont touch them
if both parent were drinking if both
parents are intoxicated and cas majically
show up at you door >well hell yeah

I called cas about someones drinking
issue and they said both parents can drink
but one parent has to remain somewhat
civil basically not intoxicated as per
cas.
