'Celebrities At Home' With 'RHOA' Phaedra Parks
'Dancing With The Stars' Crowns A New Champion
After a day of stepping barefoot on sharp little toy trucks and bending over approximately 27,000 times to grab small items, what some moms need is a good stiff drink.More and more moms are coming out of the closet clutching cosmopolitans and wearing lampshades on their heads. A whole culture of women who have kids and a fondness for daiquiris has sprung up on the internet, with blogs like Mommy Wants Vodka and Why Mom Drinks Rum supporting the cause.
There's also the awkwardly named Facebook group "Moms-who-sometimes-need-to-go-out-with-girlfriends-&-drink Secret Society," which grew to almost 200,000 members in three months.
Hmm, nobody's writing trend stories about all the dads drinking beer in their La-Z-Boys night after night. As long as moms aren't getting "Mommie Dearest" drunk and chopping down bushes in the middle of the night, is there anything unusual about tossing back a few after 16 hours of wrestling toddlers and folding underpants?

Wow. There's nothing like going out the door and spending an hour per week with a few friends. But to require a margarita or something. Not necessary. I used to get away for coffee. Works quite nicely. Drinking ... not important.
A friend or two died recently as direct result of drinking. Need to really rethink what you just blogged about. Nothing as horrible as a swollen body from a liver that stopped working right, or an esophagus splitting and being stapled together from years of vomiting up that little tiny just one only drink.

I find it a bit alarming that young mothers have to drink alcohol every night. I know a big part of the mommy population married to soldiers ( deployed) seem to be doing this regularly. While I don't condone this behavior, I understand it. I just hope that these women realize the possible addiction issues. They are so young to be in need of this kind of crutch. Only time will tell how they fair.

Did the writer even check the links within the story? Immature moms, full-time partiers who use the f-bomb like an adjective. MUCH different than most moms who have a glass of wine or an occasional drink with the girls.

Wow, at first upon reading the title, I have to admit I busted into laughter! Nonetheless, it is awful to stereotype. This my teenagers would have a field day with! The love their multicultural circle of friends, no one gets offended by the sillyness of racial slurs and such. I just thought this was ironic and controversial, yet amusing!
LOL

okay, lets see. there are numerous things wrong with this picture here.
and yeah im a guy, and the mother of my kid is an alchoholic (someone who drinks alone to forget the pressure of life) you see, there is nothing wrong with getting a drink or two, but know your limits, what happens if your little man or girl wakes up in the middle of the night, scared? or even worse, in my case, what happens if the baby has sleep apnea and your too plastered to do anything? it could cost a very dear life. it distorts your motor skills (which could result in dropping your baby) your temperament (which can cause you to fly off the handle at the crying) and it can also make you black out if you drink enough of it, and that one is self explanitory so mothers, think before you pick up the bottle, try a few puffs off of a joint, its way safer, and you can maintain your control

Being drunk is never good for anyone, including yourself. So why is it glamourized?! (However, having a drink or two never hurt anyone) It's all about moderation people. Don't get drunk if you have kids. They're not stupid, and they know something's wrong with you. Get high on life. Play with your kids. Love them. Don't be selfish and get drunk because you need to unwind or because you hate your life. When you have a drink, have one/two and enjoy it... save yourself the money, the calories, and the shame of drunkeness.
