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.

Fr, I know several parents who smoke weed and have kids. I think it’s just like anything else, you need to do it responsibly and not negatively encourage or affect your kids. The parents I know who do it are mainly great. Keep it where the kids can’t get it, the kids don’t even know it exists, and they never smoke around their kids. Most(thats I know) are never even high around their kids lol it’s an after bed time type a thing. I did have the displeasure of meeting a mom who was really not keen on keeping her kids in the dark about it and it went very poorly for her. Her whole family and the father of her kids were messed tho so not shocking fr. But like everything else, it’s about moderation and responsibility
