A drunk (and this comes from my own personal drunk binging experiences) is always ravenous when he comes home from drinking. Anything and everything looks so good to eat. A drunk will eat like it's his first meal in days and his last meal ever. Sloppy, careless and out of control.
It always seems like Alina is starving when I feed her. I will usually have a plate of chicken, some veggies and some kind of fruit for her to eat. If she sees the food or gets an idea that food is on the way; she turns into a belligerent drunk at a hockey game, yelling obscene baby gibberish at me. She mows down like it's her last meal and when she feeds herself it is exactly like a drunk at the end of a long night of drinking. It gets up her nose, in her hair- it gets everywhere!

This is often the case with babies. This hasn't happened with Alina yet, but it happens more with toddlers. It's funny that I mentioned my sister falling asleep with food in her mouth because over the summer, her daughter did just that when they were visiting!

A drunk has the confidence of a thousand Kim Kardashians. Dancing can be a daunting task to an overweight man with zero rhythm. Give him a few drinks and he's the first one on the dance floor. Alina hears a song she likes and she starts bobbing her head up and down and does this weird little shoulder shrug, like she can't help it... she's just feeling the music. I've seen toddlers dance and it always reminds me of a drunk, fat guy dancing at a night club.
A drunk will arrive from the bar and not know how he got home. He often will wake up in random places. I've heard stories of people waking up on the couch of the neighbour's house (true story), or waking up in your roommate's bed (oops, wrong room) or even waking up in the bathtub.

It is Wednesday, which means it's another edition of "I Love Him But ... Link Up!" I decided to make it a recurring thing for the month of February. Hopefully more ladies have more dirt to dish out on their significant others!
Rob is a very involved dad. If he's home and Alina is too, he wants to be with her. If there is a choice between going somewhere with or without her, he will always, always choose to bring her along with him. It's actually quite sweet. I love how much he loves her and I love him but ...
It makes me c-razy when he forgets that he's a dad. He gets distracted by something on his phone; a text, an e-mail, CTV Breaking News App, hockey games, phone calls, work, studying, fixing this or that etc. The list goes on and on. He's a busy, busy guy. But sometimes he forgets that he's watching Alina.. Sometimes he puts things down that he's using that I know Alina might get into pretty quickly. It's challenging enough keeping her out of things that she can easily get into but having to keep an extra eye out for a forgotten pick left on the couch or a sewing needle on the coffee table is just too much! Sometimes he just gets too into something that all of a sudden he looks up and ' oh shit!' Alina's into something again...!

Alright, that is all for this week! Poor Rob is probably on his best behaviour knowing that I'm on the look out for good post material...

I think all dads forget that they are dads sometimes. I know my dad was once home alone with me (I was Alinas age at the time) and one of his friends came over and they decided to grill burgers for dinner. They went outside to start the grill and the door locked behind them. Oh- did I mention they left me in the house? So my dad had to call my mom in an absolute panic that he had locked their toddler alone in the house. From what I hear she really, really wasn't happy.... x
Ahhh this is such a hilarious post! Had such a laugh! Thanks so much for brightening up my day Haley - although I would get a tad nervous about the attention span ;)

This post - I die! So hilarious! Drunk Alina is pretty fun ;). Also, poor Rob. He tries, he really does! Haha. I had a feeling that knife would be making an appearance about being left around for Alina to get into...
This post was too funny! It also really, really made me want to see videos of Alina! She sounds so adorable! The baby jail made me laugh.
I have a feeling most men forget they're dads at some point or another. Especially if something good is on TV. Because they have a very limited attention span.
booo I can't participate today. this is disappointing. what's more disappointing is that you don't have a video of Alina dancing. you just throw it out there that that little slice of sunshine exists in the world... but you don't share. >:|
I don't think my Dad ever watched us on his own...and even now, I don't think my Mom would trust him to watch a baby that could move--highly distractable, I tell you!
I do think Angel would be good at watching babies. He has pediatric patients sometimes so he gets plenty of hands-on experience plus in general he's quite the safety-conscious person. Good to count on in the future!
Oh your lovely little drunk! I've seen Alina's some of the photos while she was eating something and the food was all over her face, I didn't know how her eating business works this way haha! And yes, men really forget that they're dad. My mom never trusted dad when it came to kids hahah!
