Watch your drinking!

Mothers will be mothers, if I am staying at home because I am going out she will ring me if I am not home by 2am to make sure 'I'm still alive'.

Are you a parent yourself? It used to irritate me but since I have become a parent, I actually understand.

I think unless you're at a wedding or another special occasion, then being 30+ and getting absolutely off your tits tends to raise an eyebrow or two from people who may not be around you all the time.

My wife would call me a feckin eejit, but my mother would be worried that this is something I do regularly.

If I have 2 beers my parents think I am a raging alcoholic. I don't live at home. Actually I get lectured about everything and I am over 40:D I just ignore it. It works for me:)

My mother is the opposite. Whenever I go to visit her, she insists I have a drink.

I just take the drink and hold it while I'm there so whenever she tries to get me another one, i can say that I already have a full can.

When I go home I'm usually told there is a bottle of wine there if I want it which I normally do.

I don't think I could live at home with my parents though.

My Mother says it in humour nowadays.

Haven't lived at home in years, but she used to always worry too much. With my sense of humour I used to always just see the funny side and take the piss a little. Be it small reenactments of her 'talks' when we were having dinner, or saying things like, "I'm just out with my mate, Barry, and we're going doing drugs. I'll be home around 5".

So years of receiving that now has her also seeing the funny side of it has mellowed her out a bit, and now she just says the lighthearted obligatory comment. Told her I was going on a booze cruise in August, and she responded with, "Don't go near the water now, ya here."

You can only laugh.

Going on a stag and my mam text me saying "don't get too wasted".

Ah bless!
I think she will still be saying it when I'm 40 and it won't bother me because it's good to know she still cares

Yeah I live away from home and generally anytime I'm home its the weekend and I'm invariably heading out to meet friends, or if I'm not I'll usually buy in a few beers (maybe 5 or 6 bottles, nothing mental). So my mother sees me drinking every night. She thinks I'm a fully blown alco. No notice of the fact that I never really drink Sunday - Thursday.

My mother is only concerned about me getting home safe. "Is there anyone who lives near you?" "Will you have to go home on your own?" "You won't be getting that nitelink will you?".

She also fed me dinner yesterday because I was going out

nope not gonna say it nope nope nope

When I first started (legally) drinking my mum told me not to have more than 2 drinks on a night out

I recently turned 30 and one thing I really enjoy is getting tipsy with my friends and giving it socks on the dancefloor :cool:

Unfortunately I don't get to go out much anymore as most of my friends are in that getting married/having babies phase and I still think I'm 18 :rolleyes:
