Should I tell him?
My grandson's 6th birthday party is this Saturday at 2 p.m. His mother and father let us know last week and my son asked me in private this past Saturday if I would please ask my AH not to drink and/or show up drunk at the party. My AH works on the weekends till 12 or so, and ALWAYS drinks with the guys while working. He is drunk every weekend. I was thinking, AH won't even remember that there is a party (hasn't mentioned it) since he forgets everything two minutes after it's said (really), so I was thinking of leaving before he gets home and going to the party without him and just not telling him. This is something my gut tells me to do because we all know we can't trust them not to drink and/or get drunk, especially if we ASK them not to. I don't care if AH finds out and gets mad (and he doesn't know how to get to my son's house), but I don't want my grown kids to think I'm to blame for him not coming. I feel this is in everyone's best interest. What's your opinion?
