No, they do the opposite.  They pull the “our job never ends, moms have to do everything, amiright?” bullshit.  

No, fuck that.  I love being a mom so much.  But I’m also a professional with plenty of passions and hobbies outside of motherhood.  And a social life.  And time to exercise.  It’s HARDER to make choices for yourself when you have kids, but it’s not impossible.  Giving up then getting drunk to bitch about it is not…

“My beef is that far too many women would see a pile of laundry and pour a glass of wine in response rather than telling their partners to do their fucking share.” 

Damn dude.  

Just another mom of young kids chiming into say this is some super obnoxious horse shit and I’m so sick of it.

This was great to read, thank you!  I’m in the “working mom of young kids” crowd and the other moms think I’m nuts for quitting drinking.  Some of them are visibly annoyed when I decline a drink.

This is awesome I’m so happy for you. I quit around the same time. Definitely lost some mom“friends” who think it’s completely crazy that I quit drinking.

I stopped drinking soon after my daughter turned 2, because wine had turned into an absolutely necessary crutch. It was the DEFINITIVE signal that the “working mom” part of the day was over and the “relaxing woman” even was beginning.  I started drinking close to a bottle almost every day.  Even when I didn’t want to…

You must be doing something right raising her b/c that is a SOLID prank.

They might hide your unpainted toes, but your flaky ass ankles and heels are still out there.  

Did you mean to say even BETTER?  Heh.

Oh yeah.  10 years ago “cool girls” were all about shitting on leggings.  What are they wearing now? 99% chance it’s leggings.  Because leggings are life.

Literally no one cares.

Agreed. I hate-love this ridiculous tired argument about how other people spend their money.

Or do whatever the fuck you want with your money, and let others do the same.

“Because most people buy trucks out of vanity, ego and a false sense of security.”

The freight traffic in Indiana is why I will never take Amtrak from western Michigan to Chicago.  I once sat for 3 hours on a train car that had broken AC in mid July.  It was the last day of Lalapalooza and the smell on the train was . . . unpleasant.

This is why I took a pay cut to work in-house.

She SOLD veganism as healthy while secretly eating animal products.  I think that’s where the outrage is coming from here.
