Mommy Wine Culture: Unmasking the Hidden Struggles of Parenthood

The shift happens within a generation... I think it is going to be a generational thing, which is great. And I think just, you know, obviously podcasts like ours that let people know, it's like, as you start hearing other women talk about it being a problem, you like oh my gosh me too like it helps you realize you know it's time to step away and that there are people out there that have and are thriving and it's a community and but it's acceptance as well and it's accepting because you can be isolated if you're a parent of a young kid and everyone at the school goes out everyone you like and you get on with they all go to the pub you are going to feel that pressure to go with them and to have a drink and people do sort of say oh no have some of this don't drink alcohol free don't do that what are you doing there is huge pressure to join in and it's difficult because you are potentially alienating yourself and and it's easy to say it's not good for you I don't want to do it but when it comes down to it being lonely and not being allowed to hang around with the people you want to be that's also really upsetting and really hard you know so I think people need to start just accepting that not everyone has to do it there needs to be more to do and we used to do loads of stuff as kids and our cause never involved with the parents it's reaching tipping point though isn't it it's reaching a point where it is so everywhere and there are so many millions of people being affected i mean you know 20 admit to being too hung over to look after their kids that's massive that's too much it is i'm hopeful though i'm hopeful for this next up and coming generation i hope they change that narrative and i hope hope, you know, they see what we did.
