What’s the image that comes to mind when you hear the phrase “wine mom”?

In popular culture she’s portrayed as a woman with small children, barely getting through the day and reaching for a glass of wine at night to ease the stress of parenthood. Or maybe she’s a soccer mom with a tumbler of wine on the sidelines or escaping the kids for the night at a book club meeting with girlfriends and lots and lots of wine.

The idea that being a modern mom means you are “surviving motherhood one glass of wine at a time” is everywhere.

As a mother, I know firsthand the immense pressures that come with the territory of parenting. From managing the household to juggling kids' schedules and addressing their emotional needs, the mental load of motherhood can often feel overwhelming.

The truth is that moms need support for the physical and emotional labor of parenting, not an unhealthy coping mechanism of downing an addictive substance.
