Call it what you want. This is an opinion just as my posts are mostly opinions. Your point is moot.

My point is that your opinions are baseless, accusatory and inflamatory. In this thread, you have opined:
The husband of the OP doesnt care for the family.
The OP should seperate from hubby for a while as it will be refreshing and a fun break.
The husband of the OP cares more about work than his family.
The huspand of the OP has his priorities wrong.
There are paralells between some idiot who was addicted to games and the OP's husband.

And the best of all : Because some men (that includes me) have decided to interpret the facts differently to your opinions, we must be cut from the same fabric as OPs husband; implying that I'm a dad who is a social climber, doesnt pay attention to wife&kids and have my priorities wrong.

Let me tell you categorically that you dont know me, you know nothing about me and my family and you are flat out wrong in your opinions, interpretations and conclusions.
Furthermore, you dont know the OP, the husband nor both sides of the story. For you to make conclusions and recommending a "refreshing and fun" separation is irresponsible.

But, hey, you are entitled to your opinion whatever they may be worth. BTW: The movie Dead Pool has a nice quote about opinions, I suggest you look it up, its quite funny.

I don't think opinions are necessarily wrong. This forum is for people to freely express their opinions, ideas, etc. and get support. Free speech, right? We are all adults here and can choose what to do in the end...not take everyone's word here and do exactly what people say.

We sleep with a moses basket too, but there are ways you can safely cosleep with your baby to feed easily. Ask LLL. Just don't drink or smoke in bed...or be a smoker, get drunk and cosleep.

Oh, dear, me. Someone is taking things a bit too seriously, I'd say. But, that's my opinion--as are all the above--just opinions. No, thanks, not interested in Dead Pool or any quotes from it. Thanks for the suggestion.

That will tend to happen when you start attacking people's integrity and character whether directly or by inference.
Would you expect otherwise?

Now that I've nicely summarised your opinions, I'll leave it to others to judge for themselves the value of your opinions.

Oh well, your loss then. It would have been a nice humor break for you.

Howard, please go back to the main Geo site where this type of angry banter is the norm. Here at Geobaby we're a bit more civilized.

As far as humor goes, I am laughing my face off here imagining the preposterous lengths you are taking my input to. Thanks for the chuckles and grins.

Thank you for your opinion and directive, but I think I'll decline.
If you post your opinions, expect to have them scrutinized.
If you turn around and attack someone's character, expect that person to growl back.
As for civility, I afford politeness and courtesy to those who afford the same to me.

However, it seems clear to me both parents need to share some of the responsibly for the alcohol issue.

Why wasn't the baby moved out of the bed prior to the husband coming home at in the early hours? Even if this wasn't done, why was he allowed to climb into bed and stay there? Either the husband needs to be moved or the mother and baby need to move. The baby's safety is the first, second and third priority. The husband was completely and shamelessly out of line and takes most of the blame here. However, placing the baby in harms way was not the smartest decision either.

(1) I'm with NewDad on this. I did question why the baby was still in that bed with a drunk person as you cannot expect a drunk person to be conscious of his/her decisions.

I'm a mum who is "married to her work" and I do go out for a jolly night out with friends every so often. On days when I know I might be all out for fun, bub is NEVER in bed when I'm home. My bub co-sleeps with us. We love it and she obviously loves it. But it's easy enough to move bub out of harm's way on those nights out. I do the same when it's my husband as I know for a fact that he would not have the same functional rationality as usual.
