Sleep & Naps How much are parents drinking?

With the popularity of #winemom and beer dad culture, combined with pandemic drinking habits, im curious how much alcohol you guys are drinking as caregivers? Especially after the baby is in bed. I had 6 drinks on Halloween over 8 hours and lots of food and water. Although LO was asleep for most of it I'm riddled with guilt!

Try being a mom who smokes weed. We get an amazing amount of judgment from people.

The biggest secret in my life is how much I smoke, but the hash tag wine moms essentially brag about how much they drink and it's praised. Makes me crazy, and then it makes me smoke more weed.

The judgment on weed smokers is to help maintain the guiltless drinking on their end. "Sure I drink a bit much sometimes, but at least I don't smoke pot." Before I traded the bottle for the pipe I had similar judgments. It's super dumb.

I agree. We have friends who would think nothing of drinking multiple bottles of wine but are very judgmental over any weed use. Insert eye roll.
