From raising children to work stress, many moms deal with “mommy burnout” by drinking. Two mothers, who are now more than four years sober, open up on Megyn Kelly TODAY about how a few glasses of wine evolved into binge drinking, mental health issues and even driving while intoxicated. “My kids say they like mom better without alcohol,” says mother and psychotherapist Kelley Kitley, who was joined by writer and mother Laura McKowen. Megyn Kelly also talks with friend and mother of three Aidan Donn

@@mgal6234 That's the kind of attitude that leads people to a burnout though. Everybody needs time for themselves, your sanity won't let you work 24/7 for too long without a break. The point is that breaks needn't always be filled with excessive drinking, which can lead to more problems than it solves.

TRASHoftheTITANS Sorry but when a woman FIRST HAS a child, that child should be NUMERO UNO for at least a solid year. Ideally for the first two years. It isn’t my “attitude” and I didn’t write the Attachment Theories in psychology, but they’re available for your perusal via Google.

@@mgal6234 I am aware of attachment theory and I fully support the idea, but I don't believe it should mean that a mother ought to spend every single waking second with their baby for that length of time. When I say a break, I'm not talking about a week's holiday or anything, but a couple of hours out of the house now and then to go for a coffee or go shopping, even the occasional night out with friends. As important as the early stages are, it's also important to look after yourself. How can you expect to raise a healthy child if you're not in a healthy state of mind? The attitude I was referring to was you calling people "stupid" for disagreeing. You're perfectly entitled to your opinion, but I don't think that's called for

You wrote this about 6 months ago. I really pray you’re doing a lot better since you’ve written this. I really hope that you know that alcoholism is a DISEASE, it’s a sickness often rooted in pain, trauma, and anxiety/stress. Please know that you’re not a bad mom or a bad person because you fell victim to a disease, and that you can get sober. Sobriety is beautiful, and you are worthy of a life that is fueled with peace and a great well-being. You’re worthy of a life that isn’t rooted in shame or guilt. You can get sober and overcome this. I’m sending a lot of love, peace, and healing your way! 💕

The problem is that being a mom, wife, and running a house is a full-time job, and then we add a career, and it's just too much. Husbands need to help more, and we need to let them. We need to go back to putting families first and putting careers on hold, when possible, to raise our kids.

Fully agree....but i tried that and one income ensured we had food on the table, clothes on our back and a few treats now n again.....but after a while of being just a housewife i slowly sank into depression. I never minded the constant cooking, cleaning & teaching...but then i thought, is this all my life will be??....i knew that if i could have even 1 holiday a year with my kids and not have to penny pinch all the time I'd be a happier person. For that reason ive decided to start my own business so i can make a little cash to do these extras....unfortunately, with all the stress of it im finding myself drinking more....but then as a housewife i was doing anyway......life is just sooo complex.

I’ve put the things I want in my career to the side for the past 6 years-the children are older now and I’m glad to finally have a job that makes me very happy. I wanted to do this for years but chose jobs without travel to be there for them. And I burned out and came home irritated all the time toward the end. Now I have a job that causes me to travel, but when I’m home I work from home, and I’m more calm, patient, and present for my children and husband. I say whatever helps you to be that type of mother-that is what you should do, whether it’s staying at home or not.

When you can think logically you say to yourself ‘alcohol would just get in the way of all of the problems I’m still going to have whether I drink it or not’ instead of saying ‘I’m so overwhelmed and have so much to do let’s make it take longer and affect my ability to think clearly by consuming 2 bottles of wine’ So sad I have a drink after work sometimes and I already see that as a pattern I don’t want to continue. It’ll turn to two after work then 3.... then BAM your sucked in. My family is full of alcoholics and I never drink with them so that I’m not part of the problem. I hate what it does to the brain...

The stigma is real. If the show was burnt-out dads, the public's reaction would be to commend them for their strength to stop drinking and see the big picture. You do a show on burnt-out moms, and you get critics every time. Great job ladies for seeing it for what it is and choosing the healthy way.

All these girls want to be the perfect mom but a lot of them have self esteem issues which never get addressed. They think having kids and a family will solve all that and it doesn’t.Alcohol or shopping therapy can easily slip in to make them feel better. Then it gets out of control and turns to alcoholism or hoarding or both

Maybe is the Marxist in me, but think that a lot of these issues are structural like the fact that women and men don't have paid leave or paid vacation time by law, or access to quality nurseries without paying around 15K per year and you can't even deduct it from taxes. They mentioned that they were exhausted and working at the same time. I think we could make these situations more manageable at the community level and the family. Maybe if they had access to support to therapy and other mental health services they could cope better. I even think medical marijuana would have had a better effect than resorting to alcohol.

I'm specifically addressing all those "family values" hypocrites who go on that they're so "pro-family" and yet support a congress and a president who is anything but.

Ugggh...well, yeah, when you're a mother you obviously can't run your life the same as before. You have different priorities. The younger they are, the more you have or should stay at home with them and your career WILL take the far back seat especially if you're raising them by yourself. That's just the way it is. No amount of wine is going to change that. 🍷🍷🍷🏺🏺 It's a huge sacrifice you're making, but the reward is worth it, mostly for your kids.

Don’t underestimate the social aspect. Hear me out. Even if it’s not in person. A handful of friends on WhatsApp mention they have “the odd glass” especially at date night. You like the way makes you feel at first. Or rather, you like how people respond to you. Or… you like what it makes you NOT FEEL. You don’t get addicted to alcohol sometimes. You hate it. Even the taste. But you like the way it makes you behave (at first and of course it’s still bad) and you like how people (especially of it’s a significant other) treats you. “Your more fun!” (Not their fault AT ALL) Someone mentions how laid back you are. “You’re such a good mum. You never shout” etc… there’s so many factors. You know it’s wrong. But usually by that point it’s too late.

Ethan Fleming You are right! Child rearing is difficult. Alcoholism is serious.

If u feel stressed from mommy meltdown, how bout NOT having children!!! Also, a good dad will help out more around the house, so “mommy can have her alone time”. Booze doesn’t have to be involved unless it’s socially or with dinner. Once it’s a crutch, you’re in big trouble. Glad these women are doing well and bein there for themselves and their children.

It's not that black white. Always easy to put judgement from the outside. Every mom is dealing with situations different. Is this good no but instead of judgement mom needs support and help. So they can grow and find healing.

This is cringe. Stay at home moms pretending their workless life is so hard that it pushes them to drink. *Reality* is; these women had such easy lives drinking during the day wasn't an issue, and like a lot of things they became addicted.

I'm not a mother but I stayed at home briefly while looking for a new job and it's very depressing. Everyone Male or female needs meaningful work and raising children is very hard and a very thankless job.

From a medical perspective, burn out derives from overstimulation, usually audible. Typically you’ll see this with parents of multiples under age 5. It’s a neurological trigger of fight and flight stuck at constant. Though the ‘burn out’ from singleton and over age 6 parents, don’t make sense to me, to which I think it could be influenced by society’s Selfishness Culture

Having 3 boys under age 4, and stay at home.. it is VERY possible for burn out. From a more medical perspective, audible overstimulants actually trigger neurological issues. In addition to repetitive needs. In honesty though I feel burn out is much more prominent for parents with multiple children under age 5. However parents with older or singleton kiddos may be ‘burnout’ influenced from society’s Selfishness Culture.

Errr cocktail hour in the 1950's, 60's and 70's! I'll bet those Mothers were gagging for a G&T at 5 O'Clock after being with the kids all day! I would put money on it that a high percentage of those Mothers were not working full time. The alcohol industry saw an opening for marketing in the 90's towards women, it has a lot to answer for.

Let's see. Mommy was probably an alcoholic BEFORE she had FOUR kids in quick succession. The depression most likely kicked in after child number one, but she and hubby kept breeding and ignoring her obvious misery.
