Stressed mothers turn to wine
A new study has revealed that mothers are turning more and more to wine as a means of coping.
Before I had my kids I used to feel nothing opening a bottle of wine in the early evening and sipping it alongside my Mr.
Nowadays I rarely drink unless the occasion calls for it.
For two reasons, firstly I hate feeling hungover and dull with 3 demanding small kids.
It's almost like they know when you have had one glass too many.
The second reason is that the calories in a glass of wine would mean I'd have to live on air and cotton wool to justify the glasses at the end of the day.
Recent research shows that more mothers are increasingly turning to wine straight after the school run to cope with the strains of parenthood.
They say there is an emerging drinking culture among women who pour their first glass at around 3.30pm and then continue with their husbands into the evening.
Medical specialists say some women rely on alcohol as a form of escape, and now open a bottle of wine when once they would have made a cup of tea.
Are you a cup of tea or glass of wine mom?
