How often do you drink ?

I love me a few wines of an evening but I feel like it’s getting too often and I’m feeling like such a terrible mum. It’s always in the evenings when baby has gone to bed and he’s in his own bed now but I think I’m mostly bored! Cos it’s not like I can just pop out after he’s gone to bed and I don’t live near friends and family so having them pop in or whatever isn’t a easy. Plus they just don’t seem interested tbh 😭 but now I seem to be drinking more often and I just wondered how often everyone else drinks?! I would imagine and hope once I’m back to work it will be different and although I’m not doing anything wrong I think I feel like a failure of a mum cos I’m not necessarily looking after my body and I want to be fit and healthy for a long life with my son. Sorry if this is too deep for this page 😂 I guess I’m just hoping I’m not alone with this

I was exactly the same after I had my first daughter! When she’d go to sleep I’d have a few wines and it was purely out of boredom!😩 I realized it was getting too much too often and stopped and I’ll only have a bottle of wine on a Saturday night or a few glasses. It’s so hard when your on your own, if you fancy a chat you can always message me 🥰

I’m pregnant with my second so not currently drinking obviously, but before I was pregnant I was having a glass or two most evenings. I would very rarely go out so that was the only time I felt like a normal human lol. Even if I’d been at work I’d come home and have some wine with my partner once my daughter went to bed. It was nice to just unwind and chill out and talk to my partner after a long day. It’s easy for mum guilt to kick in, I used to feel the same but then I’d remember I’m not just a mum lol x

I’ve been having a glass or two every evening for the last few months, I stopped drinking for a while and felt good for it but I equally really enjoy wine and find it so addictive having that feeling of taking the edge off after a long day with baby 😫 especially as there’s been a lot of stress recently with loved ones being ill and passing away. I find it hard to find the right balance. You’re definitely not a terrible mum for enjoying some you time and a wine xx

Currently pregnant so not drinking, but when I'm not pregnant I do love a nice glass of wine in evening. I don't drink every night and not every week either, usually will have a glass or two on Friday or Saturday night, sometimes with dinner during the week if I make something that pairs nicely with wine I'll have small glass with dinner. I don't drink to get drunk as such, I drink cuz I absolutely love the flavour of wine, its such a satisfying drink for my taste buds and enjoy it in moderation. I like it paired with nice cheese and meat board or nice dinner, or just on its own depends on my mood. Nothing wrong with enjoying a nice glass of wine 🍷 😋

Usually, either on a Friday or Saturday night, I would either have a glass or 2 of wine or a can or 2 of cider. But that was more in the summer months. I drink less at this time of year.

I went through a phase like this u are probably stressed. You wait till baby is asleep. It is hard not being able to go out too. If u feel its too much reduce slightly. Message me if u want to talk x

Once a week now at the end of the week myself and my partner go out with our little boy to our local social club after nursery pick up and I will have two glasses of wine and that’s it just to relax I might have a night out at the weekend with friends but most likely I stay in and don’t bother drinking at all
