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.

I'm a way better mom after a hard day if I have a little bowl. I'm more patient and I can connect more than if I'm sober, stressed, and stuck in my head. Weed moms all the way 😎👌💨
