The neighbor had been talking about how when he got divirced from his first wife al he did was get drunk every day. Right after that I watched him let his less than two year old take his beer can off the table and drink it. I figured he would grab it and tell him no. Nope-not this crowd. The dad let him do it multiple times and laughed about it. Joked that his wife would be pissed. Little boy in diapers wondering around with a beer to his lips. Dad joked that he was a little alcoholic. Yep. I was appalled. I prayed bout it and sent the mother a text the next day telling her I was concerned and that was something that was so inappropriate that CPS could be called. Needless to say that text ended multiple friendships and I was told and chastised by my exs cousins wife, that I was close to, that she no longer wanted to hang out with me bc she worried that I oils judge her too. Sigh. I was trying to do the right thing for the kid-bc dad was oblivious. Alcoholics creating another generation of alcoholics and endangering their kids-and the wives that enable it. And trust me, I used to be one! It's sad...very sad.
