My son is 20 months old, he has had eczema since he was 2 months old from food allergies (ALL dairy, egg, and peanuts). His allergist is crazed about keeping his skin moisturized. We have tried what feels like everything, it either burns his skin or makes him flare up. The only thing he will let me put on him is Aquaphor. We have tried: Vanicream, Eucerin, Various J&J creams, Gold Bond, Sarna, Cetaphil and a few others. I need some help in trying to find something else, i’m open to anything Natural, or not, as long as it doesnt have Alcohol, scents or dyes in it. I know this is hard, which is why i need some more suggestions!
Please understand his allergies are so severe that contact with these foods causes a break out, Items like Shea butter are not options, I have contacted his Allergist, they arent helping!

My bf and I go to a grocery store to buy foods. He gets some booze for himself. I’m not 21 (I’m 20). When we get to the checkout, the checker asks him for his ID. But then asks me for my ID. Apparently both people have to be 21 to get the alcohol, even if I’m not the one going to buy it or anything of the like. I didnt have my ID on me anyways.
They said it was policy. How would this work with a parent there with their teenage son or daughter? It’s only happened at this one particular grocery store, we can still go to ANY other store and both not be carded.
What do you think of this?
This is in wisconsin, they have an all card policy. But I’m not sure how that works, pretty much its been them carding 60 year olds and what not. But I’m not the one buying the alcohol. Pretty much it seems to be if I’m just standing there..
We thought it was just the cashier being like an overprotective mother to another person kind of thing, but so far it has happened twice. Now when he wants booze I just stay in the car heh.
I realize it is their job, and I’m not holding a grudge for it. I did think it was interesting and just wanted to know what other people thought and how it would work in other situations 
Now, I know for a fact that I can be over protective of my 10 month old son.. But this is where I put my foot down..
My brother in law has just turned 18 and has gotten into smoking, doing drugs, and drinking whenever he gets the chance. Now, this boy loves his 10 month old nephew, with all his heart, and will never pass up a chance to see him, but he also wants to babysit.. My partner thinks this would be okay, but I put my foot down and said that he is not allowed to until he is clean from the drugs, and he has to be sober that day.. My entire in-law family thinks I am nuts as they don’t know that thier son is into drugs and smoking, and all they know is that I refuse to allow their son to babysit my little boy..
My father is also a constant drunk, and he has been told no babysitting unless there is a complete promise of no alcohol..
My brother has a history of drugs and is prohibited from babysitting..
Now, honestly mummies.. Do you think I am crazy? Or should I allow these drunks and druggos to babysit my son, when they could potentially harm him? Keep in mind he is also crawling and climbing, and EVERYTHING goes into his mouth.. I am afraid of them leaving a bottle of beer or dropping some drugs, and him consuming them..
Please, be honest.. =/
He is a weed user, that will do it anywhere and everywhere.. He also drinks everywhere.. He rang me up drunk about 3 hours ago, just to tell me he was awesome.. Now, does that sound like a uncle that should be allowed to babysit?
He has been to our house and made our son cry when drunk before.
My sons ex-girlfriend, who is 16, and lives down the street from us has a lot of family problems. We have taken her in tons of times, and she dated my 18 year old son for a while and they broke up and i think they’ve been having lots of problems lately. Whatever, that’s their business..
Well last night i guess things were okay with everyone at home…but the dad gave her a glass of coco cola with coconut flavored rum in it and let her drink as much as she wanted and she got really tipsy and freaked out on my son and called him like screaming at him and cussing him out and stuff. I only witnessed this because we were watching a movie together when he answered the phone. He asked her if she was drunk and she said that her dad gave her some stuff and that she felt really weird. I think in the least to say, he told her to stop talking to him because she was saying very hateful things and deleted her off facebook. Well she just wrote on my facebook, “Hey Mrs. Robyn can you have Cole call me when you see this?” So she’s starting drama on my facebook now…
My question is…what parent just gives their kid alcohol and lets them get totally tipsy and out of control and doesn’t at least take their phone away so they don’t make total fools out of themselves? I let my son have a few sips of wine, he’s had a little bit of a wine cooler but no where enough to get him buzzed or tipsy. But i never have just let my son drink however much he wanted and get out of control.
What will be/are your rules on drinking? Will you allow your kids to drink at home?
What would you do if you were in my situation last night?
Note: I even had a glass of wine last night that made me VERY sleepy and batty. My husband was quick to shut down the computer and told me to go to bed. But i am 39 years old and i can control myself better than a 16 year old can. What parent does that…? It’s really just beyond me…

Read the drinking laws.
cath- i was too. but apparently it was just a little bit of coke and it was a FULL like beer glass…
We found our son has been drinking ,by having to go pick him up at his friends house after he was spending the night and he had got sick all over his friends room.The boys mom which just got out of nursing school came to the car and said that they had been drinking .I guess she doesn’t check in on them .
He has just got a insulin pump and the dr. is still making adjustments to it. Im scared for his life and don’t want him dead. What affect does the alcohol have on type 1 diabetes
and what can I do to make him see this is and was a bad decision . I don’t think grounding him will do any good,They need to get scared , maybe a tour of the jail might work.He is not driving right now but has been wanting to , but now I don’t trust him. His friend is driving , the one that had got the alcohol and they are both sixteen. They had to have someone older buy it for them .What can I do?…The diabetes is hard enough to handle as is.Please help.
You know I am just a little upset right now. My husband’s 23 daughter gave my 15 year old alcohol while we were on vacation 4 hours away. It was 9:30 at night. I go in and find a half empty bottle of gin sitting on their dresser at the hotel. I tell DH, who appears upset. I am fussing to him about it saying something to the effect of it’s illegal. The 23 year old has a 1 year old baby and she went into the store and bought alcohol for 2 teenagers (under 18) and leaves the baby in the car.
She then walks up and starts calling me a whore and begins tearing up my things and then slapped me as hard as she could in my face. My son was drunk. My other children and her baby witnessed it. I was furious. I packed my things and left.
Now I just think that I am in an abusive marriage where my husband did little to prevent this. And I did not expect something like this to happen. I am not going to report it because really what good would it do? The kids were all crying. I packed up 5 of them and drove home. It’s 3 now. My son was crying all the way home and had to make frequent stops.
My husband was trying to leave the bottle well within their reach. I told him to pour it out but he kept saying that essentially he gave them cash and they bought it and it was his -yet left in plain sight for them to continue drinking. So I dumped it after telling him twice to hide it and him failing to do so.
Yes my son will have consequences as well as he played a role. I did not consent. They just wanted alcohol. That was it. The daughter went and got it for them.
My wife doesn’t really like alchohol being in the house so I poured some in a baby bottle to disguise it. A couple hours later, my 3 month old son got hungry so I grabbed the first bottle I saw and it happened to be the alcohol in the bottle. I forgot that I had put the everclear vodka in there and thought it was water. He didn’t want to drink at first but i eventually got him to drink. After he finished drinking I noticed the smell of alcohol out of nowhere and discovered that it was from the bottle and from him. I then remembered putting the vodka in the bottle and panicked. What do I do? What’s going to happen to him? Is he going to get fetal alcohol syndrome? I don’t want my wife to find out but should I secretly take him to the doctor? She’s out at the store right now and won’t be home for an hour. I’m scared. Could I have killed him?
P.S. He had what’s equivalent to 10 shots
My friend just got out of rehab for Suboxone and crack cocaine abuse about a month ago after checking in voluntarily having realized he needed help (Suboxone was the primary problem, the crack was just a drug he did in tandem with it.) . He’s been really good about staying away from both as well as the people who facilitate his abusive behavior so far. We’ve gone to the bars a few times since or had some beers at my place with no noticeable problems on his end about cravings. However, his father called me and told me I need to stop drinking with him entirely, for good, or he will do his best to separate the two of us; saying that as an addict the alcohol will lead him either back to those drugs or to alcoholism. We’re both 21 and college students so he’s not a minor that can be forcibly controlled by his parents, but in the same right his father is doing what he thinks he needs to to keep his son safe. I am skeptical about whether he really should never drink again, or whether his father is operating under the assumption that my friend is simply unable to control any of his behavior and, in doing so, being overprotective.
His father got the information about it from the former drug user that leads the family IOP meetings he attends having completed his voluntary rehabilitation. Unlike my friend who realized he had a problem before he ruined his life, this guy lost his family, friends, job, etc. and then went to rehab. He got out clean and sober and then relapsed one night after having 3 or so beers. So to me it seems like this person sees every member of his group as a worst case scenario of someone who hit rock bottom. I realize that he is talking from experience, but I also realize that not all drug users are the same, and that not all are so unable to control their impulses; seeing as how my friend has had a few drinks so far with no desire to relapse. However, his father takes every possible piece of advice in any context as applicable to his son’s own situation and demands that he not drink at all and that I refuse to drink with him entirely. Drinking is a bit of a ritual for us in that once or twice a month we get together and have a few beers down town or at one of our houses and just play video games or chat, so to stop entirely is completely possible, but not desirable on either end.
I’m just looking for professional advice or regular opinions on all this:
Is it true that no drug addict should drink after rehabilitation under any circumstances even if alcohol was never a problem for them?
If so, should they refrain from drinking for good or just take time away from it until their life is back in order?
Should I refuse to drink with him at all?
Am I in the wrong for thinking that he can drink without worrying about his former drug addiction?
All responses are greatly appreciated, thanks.
I have an 8 wk old baby boy. I would really like to have a martini w/my GFs on Girls Night so long as it is safe. I read that alcohol only stays in breastmilk until it is out of your blood. If I nurse my son right before I go out (one street over actually) and his next feeding would be 3hrs after that. If my husband gives him a bottle for that feeding it would be 6 hours after one martini until he would nurse again. Is that long enough for my milk to free from all alcohol? I did read that only 2% gets to your milk but I do not want any trace at all getting to him. Thanks!
Yesterday at 4 am a cop pulled up next to me & my 2 friends while we were walking around their neighborhood. He said we smelled like alcohol & called our parents & had them get us. My friends dad went through his son’s back-pack (Which his son had given to me to wear since he’s allready on probation) & pulled out a half empty bottle of aristocrat. This is my first time being in any kind of trouble with the law, I didn’t blow on the breathalyzer, & my mom came & picked me up & the cop said something would come in the mail for court. I live in Virginia. What do you think will happen? 
* Also, we weren’t driving, we were walking, so is there still a possibility I might loose my license? Is there any way I could keep my license? Idc about the fines or community service, I really just don’t want my car taken away. =/
I guess you could call my husband an alcohol. He drinks excessively a lot of the time and tends to give up spending time with me in order to drink alone. I know he has problems with alcohol and it has only gotten worse with the passing of his best friend. Understandably he is upset but it has been 2 years now since the accident and he still is so angry and upset, and when he drinks his moods are unpredictable: he could be super happy or so angry that he just yells about anything. We have a 7 month old son together and I don’t want him growing up with bad memories of his father. My husband’s father was actually an alcoholic and he barely talked to him for years because he was traumatized as a child by his father’s drunken behavior. Which is why I can’t really understand why he is acting this way! We have discussed it briefly before but he doesn’t feel he has a problem with alcohol, he feels he could stop any time but he just doesn’t want to. I don’t want to leave him and I know he won’t go to councelling. I am just wondering if there’s anything else I can do to maybe make him see how he is really acting?! So he can choose to change for himself to prevent our son from seeing his father as a drunk.
I would love to know the exact translation of this song, not just “it means evil alcohol”. I am aware of the general gist of the song, just want the full detail. Please no google translator or babelfish translations, that is easy enough to do on my own and doesn’t really give you a translation.

I’m trying to find a hand sanitizing method to use on my 7 month old baby when we go to public places – he’s always touching and getting into things! Is there anything wrong with just pouring some isopropyl alcohol in a little travel size spray bottle and using that on his hands? It seems to be the best thing I can think of that won’t leave a residue behind.
A friend recommended germ-x soft wipes. I like that the active ingredient is ethyl alcohol. But, after I use them, they leave some kind of residue behind – my son shoved his hands in his mouth and about puked – his hands tasted awful!
My middle son is graduating next month and we are having his open house at his Dad’s (my ex-husband) house. We are disagreeing on whether to have alcohol or not. (For the adults, not the kids)
I say the party is for our son, not us and I don’t want to have to police his friends to make sure they are not drinking.
The ex thinks it is perfectly fine and since the beer is for the adults, he doesn’t see a problem.
I think we are just asking for problems.
What are your thoughts? Any good argument I can give him, or anyone think I need to lighten up? I am open to all opinions!
I am *assuming* since it is at the ex’s house, he would be the one to get in trouble.
My son is 24 years old. He has been struggling with PTSD for a almost a year and a half. He served in Iraq for 3 years doing check points and routine patrol as a United States Marine (Military Police). He is not mentally….right. I mean…He is not crazy or anything. He has a very high IQ and has always been a great student all through school. But war changed him alot. He is very paranoid and frequently carries a handgun, Even when he goes to sleep he wears his gun on his pajama shorts. I grew concerned about him and had him move in with me. His doctor put him on prazosin 350mg and Xanax 2mg as needed. He complained the Xanax didn’t always work and the doctor also prescribed Ativan 1mg as needed. My son is everything to me, But he frequently abuses his medication and mixes it with alcohol (He will take 5-8mg of xanax and drink 9 or 10 beers) I calmly asked him why he does this and he responded to me quote “I don’t want to remember the shit I had to do over there mom…” Obviously what he had to do in the USMC got to him after all those years. An now he is back its almost like he is still in Iraq…He is constantly looking over his shoulder and the slightest noise will wake him up. I also have seen him pacing the hallways at night carrying his firearm. My friend from work told me mixing these two drugs often proves fatal. My son is authorized to carry a concealed firearm and he is prescribed these medications so its difficult to help him if he is doing nothing wrong…What can i do?
Basic Info:
My ex is in her late 20′s, she’s a recovering drug addict (cocaine). She’s a bit volatile and has some serious personal issues, including being sexually abused by a family member. She has two children. One of which is mine. Ever since our split where she attempted to take her life, she has been in the court, fighting for custody with myself and the other father. In addition to that she was living with her mother in a ranch out in the country.
At first she was able to keep the eldest as long as she wore an ankle bracelet and passed random drug/alcohol tests. And my lawyer negotiated alternating weeks with our child. One week me one week her.
The summer:
Her eldest went to vacation with his father and his family in may. As has happened every year before he spends the entire summer and then returns about a week before school starts.
In the meantime her goal was to get an apartment. The worst thing she ever could have done in my opinion. Soon she was asking me for money for daycare for our son, her youngest.
Because she had to pay for the week he wasn’t there. I gave it once that’s it. After all i had to pay for the week he wasn’t at the daycare he attended when he was with me.
Apartment Life:
I visited her apartment a couple times, hell i helped her move in. We had tried working it out off and on, but nothing solid ever materialized. In fact we were supposed to start going to counseling today. Anyway, she started hanging out with a pair of lesbians and taking my son with her. My son has told me that the one lesbian really hurt his feelings because she told him that he wasn’t cute. In addition to that, he has told me, of his own free will no coercion needed, that his mother routinely drinks with these women. Now that is a blatant violation of our temporary visiting agreement.(don’t remember the exact name for the document). In addition to that she’s been claiming that i’ve molested him. Which only brings back memories of when she was using. I’m worried. I’ve even found beer in her fridge and texts telling her to go to the bar. If anyone has ever done cocaine or know of people who have, drinking and cocaine often go hand in hand.
New information:
I wondered why it was that the eldest hadn’t returned one week before school started. She lied to me and told me that they were going to pick him up two days before school started. B.S. Turns out, two weeks earlier she failed three alcohol tests and the court demanded that she sign the child over to the father. I haven’t gotten my hands on this agreement and the only reason i know that it took place is because the grandmother of the eldest has a relationship with my mother. My mom called to see what happened. That’s what we found out. Not to mention
TRO:
In light of this new information and the evidence i’ve seen and my son has witnessed, i have asked my attorney to get a restraining order put on her. as this is my week. I’m not sure if I can get him to do it in time. But I hope so. And I’m going to push for me to be custodian.
My questions:
Due to the fact, that I don’t know the whole situation, am I doing the right thing? Could I be over reacting? Or is this just God telling me that something is going wrong and my child may be in danger? Does anyone have any thoughts or comments?
All great answers. First response, I agree with. However my attorney is always so damn busy. As far as my son being an “informer”, that’s not the case. I try my best not to ask him any questions about his mother. But he offers up information. It seems at least to me that he had his feelings hurt pretty badly when that woman told him that. I’m pretty sure he wasn’t being cute, but that’s just not right to say that to a child. I appreciate everyone’s comments/opinions here. I guess the main purpose for me was just to get the feeling that I wasn’t doing the wrong thing here.
Thanks.

My son is 17, 10 days ago we found out he has some bad things going on…We still can figure out if it is Alcohol alone or also weed smoking. He gets in and out of house w/o telling us, he comes some days at 2-3 am or some days 10-11 pm. Has very changing moods. We took him to a drug place for a meeting & the “no so smart woman” there said we needed to listen to him, in front of his face, and they said they didnt need to run a drug test on him…so in other words, they made the parents look like jerks in front of the teenager.
I just came bk f/buss. trip & found out he has a ticket for consumpt. by a minor not driving though-he already went to judge to handle it, but he was hiding it f/us. I called court to find out details and they advised me he has handled it & has some condit’s to meet and $ to pay.
A/o last year has GPA 4.0 & 0 absent days. Anyone pls. can give serious advise as to what to do next, actions to take to get him out of this problem and bk on trk.
Dad & Mom lv w/him
My baby’s dad is an alcoholic and I know his liver is damage from his drinking, not only that I got an PFA on him for his abuse on me. I don’t want to hurt him with the baby I just want the courts to help me to order him to get treatments for his alcohol, depression and there is a chance that he is bi-polar. He is not ready to be a dad but he did watch my other son, while I worked on the weekends. The only bad side is he left my son home alone so he can go to the bar to drink and that is when the abuse started. I had to come home from work and did not make money because of his drinking. I want him to have supervised visitations because he will drink if he does not have his visitations supervise and with his drinking he will not be able to care for our baby. I going to file full sole custody of the baby next month so when the baby is born my attorney can schedule a hearing date for custody. Should I file child support in the baby’s dad’s condition. He has threaten suicide on me.
My boyfriend that I have a child with has a drinking problem, and he won’t change his ways. We have a 14 month old son together and I don’t trust him to watch the baby by himself. We recently had an argument (about his drinking) and he decided to move out because he thinks we “won’t be together forever”. The only thing that I have a problem with is his exsessive drinking, other than that he’s really great. Is he leaving us because he is choosing alcohol over us, or because he wants an easy out? Any thoughts would be helpfull!
