"Wine moms represented motherhood as revolutionary refusal, as 'who cares,' as 'don’t judge me,' as 'get out now.'"Before the pandemic, I fought for years to make enough money to send my two kids to day care so I could write and teach ― so I could engage with a world beyond my domestic one. I wanted to be something other than a backdrop in my children’s lives.

I felt physically constricted and crushed by all the labor that had previously been spread among a community of day cares, schools and social worlds. For a while, the regular evening/afternoon/daytime wine alone in my yard dulled the mundane revolution of sameness, and the career and identity losses I was enduring. I convinced myself that afternoons were a mini-vacation. I could even have wine delivered, like room service. While my kids played in the California spring sunshine, I imagined myself in some tropical locale.
