Ep. 117: The Problem With Using Alcohol To Joke About Parenting

It’s time to stop using alcohol to joke about parenting.  If you look up for a minute you’ll see the wine mom humor all around you. On birthday cards at grocery stores, on cute hand towels and wood signs in home decor shops and everywhere on Etsy. “They Whine. I Wine”, “Mom’s Reasons To Drink: My 3 Kids”, “Mommy’s Sippy Cup”, “Mom Juice”, “It takes a village and a vineyard”, “This mom runs on coffee, wine and Amazon Prime”... Funny, right? Or not so much. My guest today is Blair Sharp. Blair wrote An Open Letter to Molly Sims: Please Stop Using Alcohol To Joke About Parenting. She’s here to talk about why the wine mom culture and #iwinesohard “drinking while parenting is funny” shtick normalizes binge drinking and relying on alcohol as a coping tool for motherhood to dangerous results.
