getting drunk in front of kids?

I don't like the idea of parents being drunk around kids at all, but I might be biased as my niece's dad passed out drunk on top of her when she was 2-3 months old.

My mom only drank when she had some friends over, which wasn't even very often. And she never had more than a couple beers or glasses of wine. So personally, I've never been around a drunk parent, but seeing the way many people act when drunk I wouldn't want them to be around kids whatsoever.

My parents drank in front of me and my sister all the time when we were growing up, but they'd rarely get drunk. Occasionally one would but the other wouldn't when they were still together so one was always sober enough to be responsible.

My mum would occasionally get a little drunk when she was on her own but by that time my sister and I would be old enough to look after ourselves and she never got so drunk it was a problem, I used to find it funny.

If it is harmful or neglectful then it is a problem, if it's just on occasion and the kids are still looked after then I see no problem with it. I think teaching kids about alcohol is important though. Nothing worse than when you tell a child to get a Pinot Gris only for it to return from the kitchen with a Chardonnay.

The first time I can remember either of my parents drunk I was probably 10 and my mother was a COMPLETE mess, it hasn't scarred me though. I think it depends on the kid really, when they're really young it's not a good idea (I think either one of my parents remained sober or they both waited until I was in bed asleep). But even kids who are older could struggle with seeing their parents drunk.

As other people have said, providing there's no cussing etc. I think it's fine, your kids are going to see people drunk at some point in their lives, it may as well be you.

kids will imitate what adults behavior in front of them, it's no a good idea to get drunk in front of kids.and it will lead to your kids hate u if u behavior in a strange way and they might alienate u.
