Yep, it's pretty normal

This is particularly American sensibility about not drinking alcohol casually around children. It's very strange. In the UK and Europe, if a kid is having a birthday party at their house it's completely normal for the adults to be having a casual beer or wine and socialising whilst the children play, obviously not drinking to get drunk and within the legal limits for the driver.

Who leaves their wine glass on the floor next to excited kids? You’re almost guaranteed to be wiping up that puddle in ten minutes

Its also a glass of wine, not a jager bomb.

People also drink coffee while driving. It’s a depraved world out there.

I wonder what Trump does when he's alone with underage girls

one candidate must be perfectly immaculate and nit-picked on the smallest detail while the other can do and say what the fuck he wants

She's having a glass of wine, not getting shit faced. What the fuck is this tweet?

Only psychopaths drink wine while playing games with kids. Normal people drink vodka with light ice in that scenario.

This is so irresponsible. I only smoke weed when playing with my kids.

I'm only the fun adult when I've had alcohol As in fun enough to play a game with a child and pretend it is a good time.

....And bitch like Republicans aren't the class of alcohol abuse..

The only thing weird with this photo is putting a glass of wine anything on the floor next to kids playing games. That glass will either be spilled or broken.

Yeah, this is wildly inappropriate. When I play board games with my kids, I find Old Fashioneds are the ideal way to deliver that numbing hit of booze. Wine requires too much fluid volume per unit alcohol, and the red varietals can stain your games.

Finland's former PM Sanna Marin was accused of taking drugs during a party...

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.

The outrage should clearly be THAT SHE ISN'T USING A COASTER IT A TRAY AND THAT CHILD COULD EASILY KNOCK OVER THE WINE

Californian here. I used to do birthday parties as a clown or costume character, the parents were almost invariably drunk. Often incredibly so.

Wonder how they'd feel about Bill Mahr getting smashed while sexually harassing children.

How the fuck you know that is not a glass of piss? Red circle motherfucker...

Clearly they know nothing about kids or they have normal kids who aren't ADHD

Just give the kids apple juice instead of wine and then they can play too

No one is going to comment on the name? Lol

raises hand

ichigo what

Wine is acceptable, but only after you punched them, disavowed their identity, intentionally withheld education from them, made them carry their teenage pregnancy to term and ruined the planet for them. Then you can have wine. Be more republican!

The same kind of person who shares this as if it's some sort of condemnation see absolutely no problem sitting on the couch, pounding down 15 beers a night, and scream at their wife and kids

Playing with children can be pretty exhausting. My daughter loved her Lego pirate ship set and had me narrating the lives of ten swashbuckling sailors on the high seas every day. I needed to be on top form or she would catch my day to day continuity errors 😅

I don't drink alcohol.

But I do play games with my nieces and nephews.

I have a drinking problem? Fuck you, Peck! You're a Mormon! Next to you, we all have a drinking problem!

Stemware with a jersey? OMG the shame.

I remember a friend's first child's birthday.

Me and the mom killed a pony keg because no one else had the balls too.

I'm about that friend's age now..... man, she went hard. Gonna miss her. I couldn't keep up now.

Edit: She's alive and well, married with a gaggle of kids, we grew apart. Just miss those late summer nights where the only place we had to be was a shit retail job, and we could get stoned for that.

WE'RE NOT GOING BACK!!!

Get out and vote, people! Let's not wake up a few months from now and find we've re-elected Donald Trump.

I would say it's pretty common but not normal.
Also, it's not common in every social circle.

This christmas it was me and my mum. I arrived at 7pm. At 8pm she couldn't hold a conversation. At 9pm I had to carry her to bed coz she was that drunk.

But yay let's normalize alcohol around kids. It just destroyed my fucking life, who cares?

What the fuck is going on with the defenders of Camilla
