Drinking & Parenting

Parenting is one of the hardest jobs in the world... with no handbook! It's rewarding yet exhausting, and 'Mummy Wine Culture' promotes that alcohol is the perfect reward for surviving another long day. Your hosts Ruth, Jane and Clare have five children between them... and drank when the kids were younger. In this episode they share their honest experiences of alcohol in the early years - slurry bedtime stories, groggy hangover days and the Tooth Fairy not showing up, to name a few. They look at the wide-ranging benefits children AND parents experience from removing alcohol... increased patience, consistency and life-expectancy, plus reduced risk, harm and neglect. The physical, psychological, financial and societal positives are truly staggering! Your hosts also reflect on the younger generation's perception of alcohol, and hopes for a more sober-friendly future.
