There's no right way to do it. Oh, we're going to get into it. What up, wine moms? I'm Shannon. I'm here with my two best friends, Candace and Whitney, and this is the Mom Group Chat podcast. Oh, you made me thirsty. What up, girls? Hi. I would like a crisp glass of wine right now. That sounds nice. It is sunny today.
00:00:31
Speaker
You know what, this is day drinking weather. And it's Saturday. What did we say the other day? It was like, any weather is drinking weather. We did say that. I think I just want to cozy in and have a drink. That is so true. I guess you can really make it. Sunny, rosé. Where's the rosé? Yeah. You get it. Welcome to the pod.
Reflecting on Aging and Life Changes
00:00:48
Speaker
Today we are going to talk about alcohol and how our relationship with alcohol has changed since becoming parents.
00:00:58
Speaker
But we're going to take it back in time first. First of all, tomorrow is your birthday.
00:01:04
Speaker
Is it tomorrow? I think it's Monday. Let's take it forward in time. I'm so sorry. I don't know why I thought it was tomorrow. I mean, I know your birthday, obviously. You're my best friend. Do you? What's my birthday? Don't come for me. How old is she? March 13th, obviously. I was praying I would have Alice on your birthday. I wanted to share. I know I wanted that. So anyways, Shannon's birthday is on Monday. Feeling 32. I don't know about you.
00:01:32
Speaker
We're all 30, then you'll be joining the 32 club, because. I joined there in October. And I'm a December baby, so. I can't freaking believe we're 32. Welcome to the club that no one wants to be a part of. Actually, it's not bad. I love my 30s so far, genuinely. I don't get a flying shit about anyone, and I love that feeling. Yeah, I almost don't give a shit. I feel like by the time I'm 40, I fully won't give a shit, but I've definitely made a lot of progress. Yeah.
00:02:01
Speaker
It's in 40s midlife crisis situation. I'm going to try and avoid that. We'll see. Yeah, we'll
Vegas Trip Memories
00:02:07
Speaker
see. So taking it back in time a little bit, two years ago for 30th. Yeah. For Shannon's 30th birthday, we took a little trip trip to Vegas. Me, Shannon, Shannon's sister and her cousin. I was pregnant. You were already pregnant. And, uh, this trip to Vegas was a true like girls.
00:02:29
Speaker
trip to Vegas. Oh yeah. You did it up. We did it up. It was kind of weird cause it was like COVID times a little bit. So Vegas was weird. Remember Candice and I got up at the butt crack of dawn, not hungover. We were just up early cause it was our first day there. So we were like, let's go for a stroll on the strip. It's
00:02:48
Speaker
to a little morning walk. It was so scary. It was bleak. That was dreadful. It was the most bleak walk I've ever had. What a great idea. We're going into the casino lobbies, trying to sing all the naked tarot cards on the ground. It was sad. It was sad. It was sad. And there were weird homeless people smoking. It was sad. It was kind of a weird trip. We had tickets. I really wanted to go to Penn and Teller, I think.
00:03:18
Speaker
You a little magic gal? I love magic. One thing about me, I love magic. That is not something I expected. I love magic. You love a magician? It was not Penn and Teller, but the other big magic show. I got like box seats for us. Do you remember? No. And then we got an email like a couple of days before. Everyone was hearing me. I was like, you guys, we have to go to a magic show in Vegas.
00:03:45
Speaker
I got the premier seats or whatever come with a table and a bottle. And then they didn't have it because of COVID. So we had no show, which is a key part of any biggest trip. That's why I didn't remember it. But we did get a table at Tau and that was
00:04:02
Speaker
freaking funny because they were trying to keep everybody separated in the club. You could get a table a towel, but you couldn't talk to, you couldn't mingle. They wanted you to stay at your table in your pod and not talk to anybody else. You know what though? We made the most of it because there was a second level of the club. Do you remember that?
00:04:23
Speaker
And there was a table of guys up there. Were you Mardi Gras-ing? Not great. But I was dancing in true Candy Mama form and they were throwing money down onto me. I made money that night.
00:04:39
Speaker
I left the club with money. Why doesn't this surprise me? Towards the end of the night, everyone was like, we don't care and started mingling. Yeah. But we went out the next night or we attempted to go out the next night and we got espresso martinis and we were just like, everyone was looking around at each other at dinner and we were like,
00:05:03
Speaker
We don't want to go out. We don't want to. We had hit our limit. That's such a nice feeling when everyone feels that
Reconsidering Lifestyle Choices
00:05:10
Speaker
way. We all looked around and we were like, we all feel the same. So we went back to the room and the Grammys were on. I remember this. And it's Vegas, so it's a different time. So the Grammys were on at like 5 PM.
00:05:24
Speaker
We go upstairs, we are like, you know what, let's just order and we'll watch the Grammys, we'll chill. Taylor Swift won album of the year. Yes. Everyone was excited. It was so good. And we cried when she won, which is probably embarrassing for me to say, but we were, I would love, that was one of the highlights of your birthday. It was your birthday gift. My birthday gift.
00:05:46
Speaker
So we had the best time, the best, but we had decided that night we were gonna like slow down and things took a turn.
00:05:55
Speaker
We all get into bed and it is just hours of agony. I'm awake. I think Candice is awake because she keeps going to the bathroom. What? Listen, my body was against everything. Everyone was taking trips to the bathroom. Let's not lie. What do you mean? Like top or bottom?
00:06:17
Speaker
Maybe both. Just like so much food, so much alcohol. No sleep. No sleep. Yeah, we didn't sleep. We didn't sleep. In Vegas, you don't sleep. They pump everything with oxygen. No, we kidnapped that guy. It's a different place. And all of the espresso martinis on top of not sleeping, I think we were pumped with, oh, also at Tao, at the club, the mixers we got were that red bull.
00:06:45
Speaker
So we were drinking Red Bull and vodka on top of espresso martinis, on top of being pumped with oxygen in the casinos. Where did y'all stay? What hotel? The Cosmo. The Cosmo. Which was honestly, I highly recommend. It's so gorgeous. It's so nice. So around like...
00:07:02
Speaker
hopefully 3 a.m maybe or 2 in the middle of the night I'd like to reach over I'm like Candace are you up and she's like yeah mom and we just like start crying we're just like looking at each other and we're like we're not cut out for this shit anymore like this is sad and then on the other bed is my sister and my cousin and Kelsey my cousin like pops her head up she's like are you guys up
00:07:27
Speaker
And then Hannah's like, I'm awake too.
Life Changes and Parenthood
00:07:30
Speaker
And so all of us were just lying awake in our misery. And then we all just had a collective group cry. We were like, this is horrible. It was awful. We all felt awful. It was like our hangover was hitting us. Our anxiety was hitting us.
00:07:46
Speaker
I had some stomach issues, it was like all at once my world was crumbling around me and I was convinced, I'm not joking, I was convinced leaving that trip that I was entering a sober lifestyle. I bought the book of how to quit like a woman. Same, same, so did I. You and I both on the way home, I'm pretty sure I bought the book on Amazon and had it shipped to my house so that like the next day it would be there. I was like I'm 100% becoming a sober person. Yeah, extremism. Yeah.
00:08:14
Speaker
It was such a bad feeling. My cousin and sister and I were supposed to go on a second leg of the trip to Zion. We just canceled it. We were like, we're not going for you. Self-aware. We went home and the weather was also like crazy. You guys weren't, you weren't prepared.
00:08:29
Speaker
Yeah, it's true, but also I was happy for the excuse to just go home. We booked our flights home that night and I was like, I gotta get pregnant. This is the only way to remedy this is to get pregnant. Well, it's like a forced sober period. Yeah, and I was like, I just miss my husband. I need to be home. What am I doing? I can't be out partying. I hate this. I just wanna be home making a quilt.
00:08:56
Speaker
cooking a roast with my husband, just doing wholesome shit. I feel like I'm in the colonial times. That's what I wanted. She comes home, puts on her bibs, goes to work, turns to butter. Then I did. I did get pregnant. That worked out. Our joke in our friendship is that that trip to Vegas scared us into pregnancy, which it did. You got pregnant literally the next month, and I got pregnant two or three months later.
00:09:26
Speaker
and haven't been back since. I haven't been back. I don't know. I don't I don't know if Vegas has ever in the cards for me again. I want to see Adele. I love Vegas. Okay. Well, I'm not easily convinced. Let me know. Well, I will go to see Adele. You have to do shows in Vegas.
00:09:43
Speaker
being sober anymore, she's ready to go. Well, okay, I think we're gonna get into how our relationships with alcohol have changed since having kids and just the differences in our relationship with alcohol and also being hungover parent is not fun. I think we should also preface the three of us, all SEC, college,
00:10:12
Speaker
We were in sororities. We know what to do, basically. We're still of that generation. I think we're all down. Alcohol is a part of our lives. It's a very social thing for me, too. I think I still struggle a little bit with how to, and I'm not struggling at all because I still drink. I don't know why I said it like that, but I don't know how to be social without alcohol. I don't want to be, honestly.
00:10:41
Speaker
that's very self-aware of you to say so when you're pregnant yeah let's talk about how you're doing so far in your sobriety i mean you're pregnant so you have to be sober i mean i just i told them before that i wish there was like a diet button i could push for this kind of like you have to push the sober button when you're pregnant it's like
00:11:01
Speaker
Boop, I'm on a diet, and I'm gonna stick to it, because I have to. But with getting pregnant, you kind of have to be sober, and it's just a brain switch. I think, obviously, you all did it. Wouldn't that be nice if you could just be like, boop, that's what I'm saying. I could just not eat the things that I... Don't eat that okay. Yeah. But it's fine. I mean, I did the mind switch, and I found out around Christmas, and I was like,
00:11:27
Speaker
Well, that all came to a screeching halt of wine and holly jolly Christmas for me. But switching just to that mindset's easy. And then, of course, you don't want to the first trimester. You feel like donkey D. I don't want to be drinking right then. And I just got to a point where it's like y'all are talking about, ooh, it's nice out, Rose. I'm like, ooh, you're right. I want that.
00:11:55
Speaker
but what can you do, right? It's all good. I'm still a big drinker. I actually didn't, when I was pregnant, I didn't struggle much with not drinking other than weddings. Yeah, weddings, sober, I'm sorry, but they're miserable. I don't mind weddings because there's at least an activity of dancing. My husband doesn't dance, so. No, mine didn't either, I just went out there, but I don't like it when there's, it's a social, if you had a cocktail hour, shoot me.
00:12:24
Speaker
Please feed me, I am so... Or if it's a wedding where you don't know anybody. Like I had a couple weddings of close friends where I knew 20, 30 people at the wedding. So I'm chilling, I don't need to be buzzed to talk to them.
00:12:41
Speaker
But you're right. Like it is harder to be dead sober at a wedding where you don't know people or any social event where you don't know people because I don't know if it's placebo effect, but as soon as I even have one sip, I'm like, okay, now I'm socializing. Yeah. Yeah. What are you, um, this time around, do you have any plans around doing it differently? Like not the not drinking part, but maybe how you'll spend your time or.
00:13:09
Speaker
I'm not sure. I feel like before, in the first pregnancy, I was definitely a teetotaler. I didn't touch the stuff. And I think I'll do the same this time, because it's kind of like, what's the point of one drink if I can't have two or three? But we did have plans to just at night, instead of like, I don't know, not doing anything, that we would play board games together, Chris and I. And we thought that would be so cute. But now that we have a toddler, that's the last thing.
00:13:36
Speaker
I wanna frickin' do. I wanna sit and watch TV and just let my brain melt. I'm just done at the end of the day. And I don't wanna talk anymore. I'm just, I don't know. I find solace in relaxing. Yeah, yeah, relaxing in silence. Yeah, cause I'm like, I'm not gonna have this for much.
00:13:54
Speaker
longer, it's just going to get times two the amount. I want to chat a little bit about how alcohol affects you differently after pregnancy because my differences are pretty strong and severe. You have anxiety.
00:14:10
Speaker
Yes, and I also have this weird flushing thing that happens now your cheeks my cheeks my chest my neck Everything I now every time I drink alcohol after being pregnant this never happened to me Before I flush very badly. You can't tell if I have makeup on because I wear enough makeup Oh, yeah, my makeup is usually covers that and
00:14:32
Speaker
But when I was in the airport and I had a glass of wine before I left and I had a high noon on the plane. Did you just get hot or? Well, when I got off the plane and used the bathroom, because I had to pee really bad, I went into the bathroom. My whole neck and chest had red splotchy.
00:14:49
Speaker
So weird have you found any I know does anyone out there know or does this happen to you like what yeah well message me on Instagram or something if it does but for my Googling and inside of some of my biggest like Facebook mom groups it happens to a lot of people it's like some weird like hormone after you get pregnant that makes you I think a lot of the time you like grow out of it a little bit, but I mean I'm I
00:15:13
Speaker
I know people that it happens to though. I mean, I just, yeah, but it's just weird that it never happened to me before. And now it's happening. Is it painful in any way? No, it's, I mean, it just makes me hot. Like I feel warm and.
00:15:31
Speaker
I mean, it's just noticeable. Yeah. And if I don't have makeup on, like if my husband and I are just like having a glass of wine with dinner at home and I don't have makeup on, he'll look at me and be like, whoa, your face is so red. And I'm like, it almost looks like I did an intense workout.
00:15:47
Speaker
I just worked out, but I just had a glass of wine. The other thing which I think Shannon or either of you can commiserate with me on is the anxiety and the anxiety that after I drink, I think I have a lot of anxiety about bad things happening. I have catastrophic thoughts a little bit. Checking the monitors. Yeah. I feel like my alcohol consumption has gone down
00:16:15
Speaker
Significantly. Oh my
Alcohol and Motherhood
00:16:17
Speaker
two for sure. I mean I would if yeah I'd say like typically it's like one to three glasses of wine I only really drink wine or did so I mean that was pretty max for me. Yeah, I've just kind of become a morning person by necessity like you can't
00:16:35
Speaker
not get up and hit the ground running if you have a kid. And for like doing that hungover is hell. It's so bad that every time I have been hungover, I'm like, this is not worth it. I think we all made the mistake of doing it big one night and us being like, yeah. I think we all had that experience. That was a learning curve. And I really, now that I think about it, I have really only done that once or twice. That's what I'm saying. Like it was one big blow. I was like, whoa. I'm scared of you. Yeah.
00:17:04
Speaker
I'm kind of happy with that. Me too. I'm happy with it. I feel like I am never going to be a person who doesn't drink at all. I will say I had a bit of a habit that I've gotten rid of that I am proud of myself for getting rid of. It's the five o'clock glass of wine.
00:17:24
Speaker
like five o'clock is such a hard day. I don't even want to do the five to seven that I was using a glass of wine as a bit of a crutch to get through it. I was like, okay, I've gotten through this day. So I did that during COVID. Like it was the only thing that made, because I was working from home, my husband and I, we were, we were stuck. We couldn't see anyone or grow anywhere. Five, a wine, a glass of wine or an alcoholic beverage at five PM was the only thing that made the day feel different. Well, as a stay at home mom,
00:17:53
Speaker
That's what I'm saying. I did that during maternity leave. It was like, I deserve this. I took care of my newborn, which is so bad. I was drinking when he was a newborn, but I was like my reward for doing it. But I would only have one or two because I knew
00:18:11
Speaker
his ass would be up within three or four hours. So it's like, can't get sloshed. Plus breastfeeding, it's like, okay. I went through those alcohol strips testings. Oh, I never even tested. I used to save my milk that I drank. And y'all, they turn like black when it has alcohol in it. It's like, do not use. It's crazy.
00:18:38
Speaker
I don't know. Emily Oster said you can have a glass of wine and breastfeed. Yeah. But it was like when I overdrink. Like one time I had to dump twice because that was the night I went out. I had to dump twice within a six hour period. Damn. Crazy. Because I always, the way I approached it was that saying of if you can find your baby, you can feed your baby. Oh.
00:19:03
Speaker
I'm always going to find him. I don't want to get so drunk. I can't find my baby. Oh my God. Alice. I know he said this is a no judgment zone, but we be judging. Wait, isn't that the same? If you can, you can. I'm pretty sure. I don't know. I don't know. Oh my God.
00:19:25
Speaker
There was only one night where I got real where we went out and hit the town and I pumped it and I saved it in the freezer and put a martini glass on it and they
00:19:37
Speaker
No, I'm serious. They tell you to save it for when she's really fussy to just like take the edge off and then it ended up spoiling in the hurricane when we lost power. You heard to give her the alcohol infused breast milk when she was really fussy? Yeah. Well, I never did it. I do not know. I've never heard. I thought you were going to say use it as a milk bath when she had eczema. Maybe I misread. It doesn't matter because she didn't get it. She didn't get it. Well, now I feel.
00:20:06
Speaker
That's our Florida girl. Did you read that in the parenting book from 1800? I don't know. She's also colonial. I have no idea. She just ended up getting the milk, so it doesn't matter. Has anyone? Yeah, if you've heard of that or done that, please let us know. I just truly have not heard that. I'm sure it's fine. We're just trying to do our best here.
Sober Socializing and Parenthood Balance
00:20:28
Speaker
That was my best.
00:20:30
Speaker
Um, trying to get through life. Yeah. I just found, I had to replace that five o'clock glass of wine. Cause for me, it was like five o'clock glass of wine becomes five o'clock seven o'clock. And the second glass of wine, you never really know how big it is. Yeah. And it just became a habit. And then.
00:20:49
Speaker
you don't realize you think you're only having like two glasses of wine and then like two weeks later like your anxiety is really high and like you feel puffy and all this like for me personally cutting out that weekday regular habit has been huge oh I bet yeah huge I would say now on a normal month I only drink like two or three times a month maybe
00:21:13
Speaker
I was gonna say a week, yeah. I was probably doing it two or three times a week. Really? Yeah. Now, I mean, you don't drink Fridays and Saturdays? No, not really. Not unless we have plans. But we're not home drinkers. Like, Vinny and I, we don't have wine at home. I mean, we have it for, like, entertaining and stuff, but we're not the type to, like, pour us a glass of wine on a Friday night. We're just not... That is me and Chris's bread and butter. Chris is a big wine guy.
00:21:42
Speaker
And so we love going to look and like finding from the regions that we love and just opening. I mean, I love it. I love that we kind of have that in common, but he's kind of taken a step back from drinking too. So I literally look at him and I'm like, who are you now?
00:21:59
Speaker
This is not the men I'm married. I just take it a little bit slower because I'm truly afraid of being hungover. I do miss it like the social aspect and I don't I don't know I don't miss it like during the week and stuff but it is when you're with friends and
00:22:18
Speaker
It just sounds fun. Yeah. I will say the mom trip I went on to Orlando where we drink around the world, it was like I had a slightly Vegas effect afterwards where I was like, I am ready. Actually, it did kind of scare me into being pregnant again because I am testing my ovulation every day. Like it's kind of like you can't ever go back to your college.
00:22:41
Speaker
No. Whenever I visit there, I realize I don't want to do that again. I know. I can't go back. Do y'all, like we were joking about going to the college bar here. Like would you actually want to go?
00:22:55
Speaker
No. No. Yeah. I don't think that sounds funny anymore. Okay. I have something to say. It's kind of unrelated to what we're talking about, but I think the reason I would not want to go is not necessarily because of the drinking. It would be to see all of the young people. And like, I feel like that's just an opportunity for me to feel bad about myself.
00:23:16
Speaker
like to see all these young hot girls and young guys and like what's the point of me being there and just looking around and being like I am not in my prime. Yeah it's like we've aged out of that. I always felt weird when there was an old person at the college bar and it was always like what are you gonna do? And the old person was like 26. I remember like people coming back and they were like 26, 27 and I was like
00:23:39
Speaker
You don't belong here. Get out of here. You're so old. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Uh, I think to that point, like your thirties where we're at now is like we've been trained for so long that having fun means having alcohol.
00:23:55
Speaker
Yeah. Like having a good time letting loose, like truly the peak of fun is drinking. And I just feel like we're learning to have fun other ways. Okay. That was going to, what I was going to say is could we play a game really quick? Yeah. I'm just proposing. I love games. Okay. We're going to play a game where we're going to do rapid fire, like in a circle and you have to name an activity, a fun activity that you can do that doesn't involve drinking. Nothing. Go. I'm just kidding.
00:24:26
Speaker
Okay. Ready? Am I going first? Okay. Hike. I was going to say go walking. Okay. It's a good one. Um, board games. Yeah. Mini golf. Golf carting. I don't want to do that. Golfing. Golfing, you got a drink. Go carting. Okay. Which I don't want to do, but whatever. Going to the movies. Oh, that's a good one. Um, I was going to say,
00:24:54
Speaker
Ooh, like the aquarium or the zoo or something, like a local outing. When I was pregnant the first time, I went to a Mother's Day flower arrangement thing. That was really fun, actually. And I was like, I don't have to drink during this. It was fun. I like stuff like that. Me too. Like a baking, cooking. Yeah, something creative. Yeah.
00:25:19
Speaker
I like that. That's what I try and find the fun in now is like kind of like what I said with a wedding. It's not just a drinking activity. There's dancing involved. Like there's things I could be pickleball. Like whenever our neighbors all hang out and drink, I'm like, can we set up an activity? Yeah. So I think with going back to the wedding thing really quick, being sober at a wedding for me,
00:25:41
Speaker
That wedding I'm thinking of specifically, I was eight months pregnant. It's so hard to be in a dress and heels when you're huge and not feeling... I mean, you guys saw the picture of me. It was bleak. If you were big. I was so puffy and big and that it was just miserable for me to be there sober and feeling so gross and insecure.
00:26:03
Speaker
So how do y'all feel in situations, I don't want to say like maybe not even single friends, but friends that don't have kids, just relating to them now, if you go out and all that, does it feel the same? Do you feel like I, I think for me right now, I'm getting left out of a lot of stuff because I am pregnant. And people are just like, oh, I, for example, I commented on one of my friends, they were out to brunch and I saw it on their Instagram story and I was like,
00:26:32
Speaker
Oh, that place looks so cool. And they said, we'll go after you have the baby. What? Yeah, not. Ew, boo. I don't like that. Dislike. Yeah, not, we can go next week or whatever. It was like, I don't want to hang out with you until you're fun again. And they don't have kids. They don't have kids. So I was like, dislike. Yeah, I don't like that. That's annoying. I was kind of annoyed. And they've done that a few times, but what can you say?
00:27:01
Speaker
I mean, if they're just like your drinking friends and you're happy to have them in that bucket and that doesn't hurt your feelings, but I would say. Honestly, she's like the nicest person too. It's like probably not intentional at all. I'm getting my feelings hurt. I will say the one thing that when you talk about going out with people who don't have kids and what that's like and how it's changed, I would say the biggest thing for me is
00:27:26
Speaker
I literally go into those nights going out with other people scared about how late we're gonna stay out. Like I have nervousness about it because ultimately like I just want to get some sleep and so I really don't care about the drinking and I'm fine to go out for a couple drinks and have fun but ultimately in the back of my mind I'm always thinking like okay I just want to make sure we can leave here by 10 so that I can get home and wash my face and
00:27:52
Speaker
And if I'm asleep by 11, that gives me X amount of hours before Alice wakes up. And that's what I'm thinking about because sleep is so precious, my precious. It's so precious. So I am thinking constantly about...
00:28:09
Speaker
how I'm gonna get to bed. I agree and and that's where you get torn like I'm still fun I swear da da da but that's where I feel like I need to be honest with said person and be like look I know you're not in like this headspace but like I have to be up in six hours or whatever and just have more open communication and be like
00:28:29
Speaker
I want to still have fun with you and I'm going to give you a four good hour stretch of me being fun. But after that, I got to go. Yeah. Yeah. And I could be more honest with people. Yeah, I think I could be too, especially I feel like we're getting a little long

Speaker
winded here. But one thing I know I struggle with is like I feel like I had the stamp of approval of being like the the fun friend, the drinking friend, the like candy mama. I keep the party going friend.
00:28:58
Speaker
And I do feel pressure still sometimes when I go out now to like step in back into that place of being that like fun party friend. And sometimes I don't want to be there anymore. I don't want to be that. I don't want to go. Let me go. Let me choose what I want to be. Yeah. I mean, your good friends don't care. Yeah. They don't care. And your mom friends get it.
00:29:24
Speaker
Yeah, that's why I love going out with moms. They all want to leave by 9.30. We're all here for...
00:29:31
Speaker
a good time, not a long time. And they know that we're not going to take it past that. I like to have my first drink at three o'clock and my last drink at six. You know what I've loved being here is like eating dinners here. I love that so that we can still be with TJ. There's no pressure. Y'all can just drink here. I'm like, that's ideal like for as a mom. Yeah. Tonight, Whitney is going to DDS though because
