I'm sure it's only an amount that's fine for June, but I can't imagine any of the other (non-Mormon) mommy vloggers taking their infant out and getting a beer or even wine this soon - and they seem to have a drink almost every day. I noticed Corbin got pretty defensive about this in the comments today.
Again, I'm sure it's fine for June, but it's so different from other family vloggers.
You're right. It is a little weird just how much they go out to drink. I'm sure it's fine, but given their knowledge when it comes to children, I'm not sure how much I trust Kelsey to drink an ok amount. And if she knows to pump and dump if she drinks too much.
I just don't understand why they WANT to go out to drink so much with a newborn. I would imagine they would rather just sleep lmao. Obviously you don't have to completely alter your life when you have a kid, but they act like nothing's changed...the only reason you know anything has changed is because they complain.
They no longer recommend pump and dumping. Alcohol doesn't remain in breastmilk. You shouldn't nurse if you're drunk, but once your blood alcohol has dropped, so has the % in breastmilk. It doesn't get stored.
I think the reason it seems like they drink a lot is because we're not used to seeing family vloggers drink at all. None of them show themselves doing normal adult things or talk about adult topics.
They rarely discuss anything to do with health, finances, birth control/sex, alcohol, they don't swear, do many chores or anything else that wouldn't interest or isn't appropriate for anyone younger than 13.
They're no longer "Mommy" or family vloggers. They're childrens entertainers. They're reality tv for preteens.
I've been trying to figure out what the appeal is with some of these hugely successful family vloggers, and I think you're right. It's reality TV for pre-teens. I mean, Bratayley, DB, etc-- they really aren't that special. They just upload videos. That's all. And people scream like they're meeting Justin Bieber at the meet and greets, and act like they are these amazing, special people. And they're just not. I know some of it is aspirational-- these kids have parents who work, and can't always afford everything they want, and make them take out the trash, and do homework. And then they watch these families where both parents are home, and life is all Target runs and Disneyland, and fancy vacations. So of course, they want that. But the whole thing just really puzzles me. My sister comes to visit, and sees my daughter watching vlogs, and she is as perplexed as I am. My daughter likes to watch cute kids, so that is the attraction for her, but she doesn't worship them the way minions do. It'd be an interesting social sciences thesis.

They are very inconsiderate, but I would at least hope that when they're out like this, and June starts to cry (which I'm sure she has), they take her out of the room if they can't calm her.
