Just like @London Mama alcohol knocks me out! And, LO won't take a bottle..so I have to be careful. She's still up every 3 hrs at night too. Joy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-have-you-ever-been-tempted-to-drink#post-578339 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 03:09:32 +0000 Sweet T 578339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I have a rule for myself that I don't drink if I'm home alone with DS. I just don't feel comfortable, even with just one drink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-have-you-ever-been-tempted-to-drink#post-578332 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 03:01:20 +0000 London Mama 578332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I ate an entire box of chocolates yesterday. Alcohol would put me to sleep so I'm abusing sugar and caffeine instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-have-you-ever-been-tempted-to-drink#post-578259 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 00:14:04 +0000 Ree723 578259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not during the day, but once LO goes to bed at night, I have a glass of wine or a beer, probably about four nights per week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-have-you-ever-been-tempted-to-drink#post-578018 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 22:21:36 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 578018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh ya! when summer comes (and im on mat leave) watch out sangria. heck, when i come home from work i take a glass. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-have-you-ever-been-tempted-to-drink#post-578014 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 22:20:55 +0000 StbHisMrs 578014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a sahm but I want a glass of wine in a very bad way right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-have-you-ever-been-tempted-to-drink#post-578011 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 22:20:17 +0000 hellocupcake 578011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always dreamt of being a SAHM who has a glass with other moms while LOs are in school, but until then I would feel so horrible drinking around LO (: haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-have-you-ever-been-tempted-to-drink#post-578007 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 22:19:08 +0000 Penny Lane 578007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never, but only because I don't drink, ever. </p> <p>If I did, I would probably want to be all over that during the day!! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-have-you-ever-been-tempted-to-drink#post-578000 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 22:15:43 +0000 Weagle 578000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've thought about it, but I've never done it. Usually the urge is gone by the time DH gets home. I have read that SAHMs are the highest ticketed group for DUIs... Mostly around the time school lets out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-have-you-ever-been-tempted-to-drink#post-577989 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 22:11:06 +0000 Bao 577989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope never during the day, but in the evenings after DH gets home occasionally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-have-you-ever-been-tempted-to-drink#post-577972 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 22:04:28 +0000 hilsy85 577972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really, mainly because during the day we're pretty busy (except at like 9am...and it would have to be a bad day for me to want to drink that early!). I do sometimes have a glass of wine before DH gets home, around 5 or so. I also don't love drinking alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-have-you-ever-been-tempted-to-drink#post-577931 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:54:44 +0000 cyndistar3 577931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I don't drink but even if I did I wouldn't until the kids were in bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-have-you-ever-been-tempted-to-drink#post-577899 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:47:15 +0000 heffalump 577899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Drinking gives me migraines so no. On rough days I crave a coffee so I can get some energy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-have-you-ever-been-tempted-to-drink#post-577893 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:45:16 +0000 sera_87 577893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bwah! </p> <p>I've thought very longingly some days. But I don't like to drink alone, and it seems kind of pathetic, yanno? And I don't like drinking as much anymore because it means I can't nurse and I don't like resorting to formula unless super necessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-have-you-ever-been-tempted-to-drink#post-577889 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:44:22 +0000 prettylizy 577889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During the week I have definetely thought about it, but for some reason before 5pm seems wrong to me?! DH has come home to me with a beer open while I cook dinner more than once!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-have-you-ever-been-tempted-to-drink#post-577881 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:42:28 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 577881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL, not a SAHM, but I think this is an interesting question. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-have-you-ever-been-tempted-to-drink#post-577877 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:41:48 +0000 chopsuey 577877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG I'm not a drinker, but if I was, I'd totally drink every night. HAHA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-have-you-ever-been-tempted-to-drink#post-577872 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:40:41 +0000 lovehoneybee 577872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read something somewhere not too long ago about how a higher than normal amount of SAHM drink during the day (Side note: I think I read it here, will google later, too lazy now). Have you ever been tempted to drink during the day? </p> <p>I am at my wit's end today...if ever there was a day I wanted to drink it would be today. There's a beer in the fridge with my name on it, waiting patiently for DS to go to sleep or DH to get home. </p> <p>Poll for anonymity (spelled anonymity right in one try!)</p> <p>ETA: This was the article I originally read: </p> <p><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/2020/moms-secret-habit-coffee-mug-full-wine/story?id=10511256" rel="nofollow">http://abcnews.go.com/2020/moms-secret-habit-coffee-mug-full-wine/story?id=10511256</a> </p>
