Meredith Viera is NOT My Hero

Melissa from Suburban Bliss is my new hero!!! She has considered selling her children on Ebay and she drinks…at playdates, no less!!! I know this because she said so on The Today Show. She was also compared to being a babysitter by Meredith Viera. Don't even get me started on Meredith. I tried to give her a chance after coming from the View (a vile, filthy, Barbara Walters hates breastfeeding show), but after this, she is dead to me. Dead to me, I say.

The whole "controversy" of this Today Show segment was whether or not it is "appropriate" for moms to have A drink at playdates. I think this is terrific! A glass of wine, a frosty mug of beer, a martini, sounds like great fun and a great way to get to be an adult for a while! Sure your kids may see you have A drink. They'll survive.

As stated by Melissa during the segment, those who are opposed to this "trend" are also those who are out to criticize your every parenting move. I wholeheartedly agree. It's a damn shame that we as mothers can so harshly judge one another. "You aren't breastfeeding?!?" "You allow your child to cry it out?!?" "So you're into that whole attachment parenting thing." "That milk isn't organic, don't you know your daughters are going to grow breasts at age two?" The judging never ends.

As for drinking at playdates, I'm sure that there are many people who are adamantly against drinking and/or allowing your children see you drink. I get that. That's cool. That's your choice. You may not want to hang around my playgroup.
