Just Sharing again, by Patricia Robinson The Life-teller
I do not think we should allow children where alcohol is served, in clubs, or patio.
My Question is Are we, raising, nurturing alcoholics.
By allowing our children to join us in places we drink.
I have witnessed events where kids are gathering and Sneaking alcohol
From their parents, or friends glasses.
I am not naming anyone, Im just sharing again
We all know where these places are.
I witnessed great kids ruin their lives. because parents make drinking look so great. I think we are making drinking look too important.
Having a awesome time dancing, drinking. What else are they going to want to do. But be like Mom + Dad
by drinking. Again I am not naming names.
But there are places where children should be, and places they shouldn’t.
I witnessed too many kids turn alcoholic, because it looked good as the adults drank
So children taste and taste, then are egged on by peers, who wish them to join the drunk group.
Do you really think our no’s mean anything if a child see’s
her parent laughing, joking, having fun drunking.
Children are going to want to know how it feels.
And by the time the feeling gets too numb. By the time it gets to be addiction, Its too late to change , they are too weak to stop.
Now a drunk, is telling a drunk, not to drink.
You know what I mean, we drink. Then tell our children not to drink.
We have to glow and show. Let Them see that not drinking is the way.
Show them that we as parents can stop.
We got to give our children something to work with.
Not a fake sense of sobriety. We got to do it with our children.
And if we drink.
Don’t allow your children to witness your failures.
One of my buddies, drinks with his mom right today. They meet, go out, dance get drunk.
Yet she says I wish my son would stop.
I know that boy after helping his mom to bed too many times .
After not having breakfast because mom had a hangover.
After picking mom up when she falls.
After begging mom to eat before she goes out. After all this a child witnesses from a parent.
I know he says mom I wish you would stop drinking.
So I guess the child says, if he cant fix it, join in. And becomes one of the drunks.
We are not helping our children by gathering with them to drink.
There has to be a time when a drunk say I got to stop, for my child’s sake.
I don’t wish anyone to think I am picking on them. My addiction was drugs.
Instead of giving up the drugs, I gave up the child.
Or should I say I didn’t fight to keep her. I know what addiction can do.
I want to express this so you know I am not just blowing air.
My mom was great, but she drank on the weekends. At first she wouldn’t drink in front of us.
Then she gave in, started to drink in front of us. But only on the weekends.
Finally she went to after 5pm each evening.
Please I see these children gathering to enjoy a competition, in many venues.
They book the event where alcohol is sold.
The waitresses work their buts off for that tip.
As the child competes in the competition what ever it might be.
Im just saying cant we give up a night of drinking to watch your kids compete in an event.
Please just think more about your child, than a drink.
And also treat your liver better.. Im seeing young kids looking old.
