Jesus H Christ

By bastard - This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I went to a Nativity play. My husband showed up late and drunk, and I had to explain to him why booming, "Yeah! Time to get baby Jesus up in this shit!" when our son was about to go on stage got us kicked out. FML

Why maybe it was the first time he has gone drinking in months and he went overboard

If he can't control himself then he shouldn't drink

Don't worry, everybody has effed up moments in life only losers judge! Shake it off, talk about it in a few days, try to find the humor in the situation and laugh about it

Make him go to AA or take his booze away

No one ever said he was a alcoholic.

If he can't handle his booze, he shouldn't be drinking it. I drink and I never got drunk enough to do anything remotely like that

So he had a little too much to drink and made a few mistakes and now he should be banned from drinking forever? I don't think so

That still doesn't prove that he needs AA. Also, just because you never had this happen to you doesn't mean people who have are alcoholics.

True, but since he showed up late is it possible he drove to the play. Also drinking presumably early( I doubt the play would've started that late) showing up to the event drunk,publicly embarrassing himself and getting kicked out is a real good sign AA should be looked into. This is way different from doing something childishly stupid while drunk in college or with his friends. Even if the husband rarely drinks there are a lot of red flags all in one incident that would make it a good thing to look into.

The FML never says nor implies driving his car drunk, let's not jump to conclusions. By reading one FML about someone does not warrant us to decide if he needs help from AA or not.

He showed up to it late, it doesn't say whether or not he did or didn't drive. Though showed up he got a ride somehow or drove. Also, being drunk enough to be thrown out from a christmas play more than likely being shown early in the probably a good sign the guy should not be drinking at all. Drinking potentially pretty early, public embarrassment and be forced to leave are all pretty good signs he shouldn't drink.

That's several people now who have said "Take his booze away". What a nice but worthless idea. He's a grown man, and people who drink find ways to get it. OP, this is the time to have a very open and frank discussion about his drinking. If this continues, the next call you get may be from the coroner.

Hey now OP, just because Jesus was technically a bastard doesn't mean you can throw that term around like this.

Maybe you have to explain him how alcohol works too. Guess no Christmas present right?

Your husband sounds embarrassing but totally awesome. That's gonna be a great memory one day.

I really don't see how him ruining his young child's event is going to turn into a great memory. Yeah, we all do stupid stuff we laugh at later on down the road, but usually that stuff doesn't involve us hurting someone we love. Kids can be cruel, and this could be something the child is going to get picked on over. Not to mention that other parents may see the father as irresponsible and not want their child around him which means less play dates and playmates for the little one.
