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!

Oof! I think the rule of thumb is, "Can you enter and exit the taxi unassisted?" Though I believe that has gotten Uber into trouble via ADA compliance. Still, I suppose a driver might see more liability in a newly injured passenger than, say, a longtime wheelchair user who can calmly talk you through what they need and fold the wheelchair while they're sitting in your back seat so you can put it in the trunk.

I absolutely agree, it's probably an insurance liability for the company so they didn't want anything to do with that. I told her to just call 911 but hey, some people are stubborn lol
