Should I or should I not?

Re: Should I or should I not?

To put the drinking into context, given that he doesn't feel that he's doing anything seriously wrong.....

Imagine how you will feel in, say 10-15 years time. Your family is sitting down together on a nice evening. You, your kids, your husband, together in a room getting set to watch a movie. Your kids sitting near their father talking, joking, and he's sitting there sipping a beer/whiskey/wine etc in front of them.

What do you think that your children are going to think about the moral acceptability of drinking? More likely than not, they will see their father drinking and feel that it's not so bad if he is doing it.

No matter what you tell them, no matter how wrong you tell them drinking is, when they grow up seeing their male role model drinking and proposing that it's not a bad thing and he doesn't need to stop....... your kids are likely to start drinking too.
