Dear GNHQ,
Perhaps a reciprocal arrangement with Mumsnet to suggest some answers to my dilema:
My DIL is a heavy drinker, up to 2 bottles of wine each night. The family stayed here recently, so I was able to see this happening, altho I have witnessed this when we have stayed with them over the last few years.
One day I took her shopping, suggested a coffee break to be told she doesn't drink coffee when she is out so we found her a glass of wine. On the way home I treated her to supper, she had 3 large glasses of wine. When we got home she found and opened a bottle of white wine ( I had not offered har a drink at that point) which she drank, followed by about a quarter of a bottle of red wine left from the day before.
The following morning, needless to say, she was sick (in my bed which I give DS and DIL when they stay!)
My son dismissed this by calling it a bug!
I did mention to him, some time ago, that I was concerned about how much she drank. He gave me a wry look and said nothing!
The GC have noticed too. DGS did say he thought she was a borderline alcoholic. A couple of days later he watered down this comment by saying he thought she only drank about 3 glasses per night ( I wonder whether his loyalty to his Mum dictated this remark). DGD says 'she only thinks about wine!'
I am at a loss as to what to say or do, if anything, and would welcome advice from Mumsnetters.
Many thanks.....OGM
What do you think would go well with coasters like this?
