Hope you get better night's sleep tonight icedtea and feel better in general! I love the cute animal gifs PirateCat !
I'm waiting to pick up my friends at the train, so excited! ...a little annoyed with H who not only did not get the groceries I asked him to or clean up the house or clean the yard or set up the umbrella...the house was actually in way worse shape. I've been running around like crazy to get it sort of in order and doing grocery shopping and cooking since 6...ready for a drink now! Yay!
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
I think so? Although he doesn't mind when we're with his family and we all start drinking at 11 AM. But when we're at home and I want a glass of wine on a Friday night at 6 PM with dinner, it's *side eye* "I mean, you do what you want, but DD is still awake..."
Really? It's not like you're throwing back shots or doing a keg stand...
That's what I'm sayin'. He got really weirded out a few weeks/months ago when DD pointed to my wine glass and asked what I was drinking. I didn't want her to ask for a sip so I told her that it was Mama's juice but it was hot so she wouldn't want it. I think that was his fear from the start- that she'd ask a question and he didn't know how to explain it to a 2.5-year-old- but maybe now that I handled it it will get better?
It's really strange because his parents drank plenty of beer around him growing up- to the point that after his mom's softball games, all the kids would ask, "Whose house are we going to for beers after the game?"- so it's not like he has any reason to believe that kid seeing alcohol=kid growing up with unhealthy associations with alcohol. Whereas I grew up with my parents drinking almost never at home, and I think it's healthy for DD to see us drink responsibly on occasion.

Unless you turn into a raging crazy person I think there is nothing wrong with having your child see you drink, especially responsibly.

Surely, there are other things you consume, e.g., coffee, that you wouldn't give to a 2.5 YO and have to explain.

Yes, definitely coffee, although she likes to go in her play kitchen and pretend she's making/drinking coffee like Mama and if she did the same with wine we might have some explaining to do at daycare.
Sidenote, my niece used to call me Auntie Wino when she was about 4 (because DH & some of my other in-laws told her to). Just thought that was a fun topical GTKY to share.

I doubt she'd be the first kid at daycare to say something like that. Out of the mouths of babes, and all that.
Side note, one if my aunts told her whole kindergarten class that her parents showered together and slept naked. You never know what kids are gonna say and it can be about anything.

shopgirl24, that is hysterical! And our DCP often tells me if she's going to need a glass of wine that evening, so she'd probably think it was funny if that did happen, but I'd be a little embarrassed and I think DH would be, too.

Is the cordless Dyson (V6) worth it? Does the 20 minute run time actually last or will the battery start losing its charge faster and faster?
I feel like mine is hit and miss as to how long it will hold the charge, some days it seems to be close to 20 but there are times that it will only last like 5 minutes. I like it and use a lot but am not sure if I would buy again. It works well on hard surfaces but on carpet is not great.

PirateCat, I LOVE my Dyson cordless. It consistently holds the charge, and it doesn't weaken as it gets closer to dying, it goes full power until suddenly it just stops.
I can usually cover the kitchen, living room, and carpeted stairs before it dies. We have pets, so the canister fills up quickly, but I love it for quick pick ups.
ironbaby, which model do you have? Do you know if my regular Dyson tools can fit on the cordless? The V6 Animal is ridiculously expensive but I do love my mini head thing for my Dyson for vacuuming the couch.

I have the V6 animal. I am not able to use my regular Dyson attachments with it. But I have a very old model so I don't know if maybe a newer model would be different.

I'm dreaming of a Dyson for our new house. We have central vac, and they're roughing it in in the new house but I actually hate central vac. The tubing is SO long and hard to maneuver.
