I'm going to feel like a hypocrite if I say either of these things:
-- Alcohol is not allowed in my home (false)
-- We will drink in front of you but you can't drink (just seems cruel)
There is some line I need to draw here but I don't know what it is.
I don't know what it is either, because if he's allowed to drink in your home, he's certainly not going to drink like a responsible social drinker.
I hate making decisions based on guilt. That just seems to bring me a whole new set of problems than if I had said no.
I am usually pretty good about it, but guess what I did today? I made a decision based on guilt.
Guess who pays the consequences? Me.
So I'm going to put my big girl panties on, maybe even starch them a tad, and deal with it!
