#16: The The Mommy Wino
If you’ve been on a mommy blog or looked at decorative signs on Etsy in recent years, you’ve probably been inundated with mommy wine jokes: “The expensive part of having kids is all the wine you have to drink” or “Mommy wines because the baby whines” or “Boxed wine is just a juice box for Mom.”
