We all have our vices
by HeatherGotta love Babble and their ability to ruffle feathers and get discussion going. Have you heard the one about the pot smoking mom who deals better with her toddler when high?
While I can honestly say this is something I’m not likely to try myself. Nor would it be okay with me if I found out the babysitter, grandparent, or other caregiver were doing it on their shift. I think the biggest problem with her story is that she drove around with her toddler after the odd one-hit wonder.
When I reach my limit with two little ones — and I do, believe me — my husband has recommended to me that I put both kids in their respective cribs, make a hot cocoa, and watch sex in the city until the urge to scream passes.
We all have our vices.
What’s your guilty pleasure when you need to keep it together when you’d rather fall apart?

During the day, it’s the computer. I can get on and chat with other moms to blow off some steam.
After DH gets home, if I’ve had one-of-those-days, I’ve been known to enjoy a cocktail or glass of wine. However, I believe that living responsibly is of utmost importance when you have a little one. You should never get in a car when under any influence, not only is is dangerous (obviously) it’s illegal.
I do NOT want to get arrested in front of my kid. LOL

To blow off steam I just write.. Im blowing off steam right now reading this blog about pot smoking mommas.. Clearly irresponsible behavior. Hey though, we can’t judge anyone until we walk in their shoes. The smart thing to do, always , is be a good role model for your kids, and if you want to see something cool, look at my site and register your hulala girls..
