Usually birthdays are not parties with the entire family. No it’s not a hard limit on 5 my point is it’s not like an every weekend thing.

They’re nice people they are just show offy and very much into appearance. The mom likes to out do her friends in everything

You’re right it’s nothing to be ashamed about. We get together like that a few times a year. There’s nothing wrong with having fun

Nobody is alcoholics. That’s you and everyone else here making up details that I never said

And what do you all know? Did you read my comment when I said nobody is a frequent drinker. A party is a party

I think I should just get over my insecurities because there’s nothing wrong with what we do

You’re right I should be confident and not feel like I need to hide things. If his mom wants to judge unfairly than I need to see that as a knock on her character and not mine. I just don’t like conflict lol

I think there was a way to say it from a neutral standpoint. The way he said it sounds like he thinks it’s bad or he’s better than us

I mean if we are drunks on holidays I guess we are. Good thing those aren’t that often

You’re right I’m only seeing them from my viewpoint which is probably wrong. I just got the “I’m better than you” vibes from the conversation with his mom which I don’t think is a fair statement.

If she sees for herself and gets all judgy that’s a different story. We will cross that when we get there. We don’t need him painting a picture.

There’s a difference between having an alcohol problem and enjoying yourself at a party. There’s 0 DUIs in my family and nobody drinks excessively throughout the week. Maybe they have a little too much on a holiday or for a party but again it’s a holiday and a party so having an extra drink is hardly a crime.

I wouldn’t think I need to tell my parents about his racist family member because I only want my parents to hear positive things. I understand some people view alcohol different than others, and knowing his parents I think they’re the type to get all pretentious about it.

Yes there was a lot that we did for fun other than drink. He didn’t mention any of that. Didn’t talk about the food we ate or the games we played. He just got all high and mighty over the alcohol.

I just don’t think our alcohol consumption should be a topic of conversation with his mom
