Your Older Kid Can Come in Handy (remix)

Dear Ann Abler,

My baby fell asleep in my lap, so I called my seven y.o. daughter over to bring me a beer. Should I have asked for a glass of red wine instead? I hear it has antioxidants or magic in it. But beer has hops and something...

Thoughts?

Dear Nap Lap,

You should have asked for two. She might have been out of ear-shot the next time you needed her.

If you feel inspired to live your life by following the advice of old French advertisements, then here's one you might like:

Say two hail mommies and chug the beer when the seven year old says, "mommy." It's a modern mother's drinking game.

Ciao.

p.s. You can always read up on beer and breastfeeding at La Leche League, if you are into facts.


This is a re-post of some excellent advice given in April. Since it was pretty much just my mom reading my blog at that time, I feel okay with this redundancy. Also I have to fold some laundry.
