Why Mommy Drinks

1,204

Betsy Stover talks with fellow parents about what their kids did that broke them and maybe even drove them to drink. Guests range from fellow comedians, to Hollywood directors, to Olympic athletes. There’s no advice and no judgement; just wild stories from the trenches of parenthood, and a reminder that we are all doing the best we can.

    Horrible
    Social services should take their children away from these dummies.

    LOVE IT
    Motherhood is hard!! Thank you for normalizing and bringing some humor into this crazy time of life. As a tired mom of two toddlers and I newborn I see you and you’re doing a great job.

    Comfort podcast
    This show makes me feel like I’m not alone in the parent world. I laugh so hard and I love it! You are all doing a great job!!

    My kind of Sanity
    This podcast speaks to Moms and even Dads on the hilarity and insanity of being a parent. I listen to them while I work and even when I mow the lawn (if I have finished the laundry, work, cleaned the house, and on and on). If you want a relatable podcast that you will laugh at and covers all areas of being a parent this is it. Five stars all the way.

    Eye Opening Realness
    I’m a 27 yr old unwed kid-less woman and I find this podcast absolutely HILARIOUS. It offers a fascinating, yet sometimes terrifying peek into a world I know absolutely nothing about: modern motherhood. I have been listening since the beginning and truly have learned so much!

    Update:
    While I love this podcast it’s very much becoming my way highway… I think everyone is entitled to their own opinions and doing what is best for them and theirs… this podcast was started because of all the mommy shaming and over the last 2 years of the pandemic it’s becoming just that; not in every episode but slowly more than not.

    So funny and relatable

    Used to love it
    I used to love this podcast and laugh out loud but since Amanda left the show has lost its charm and likability. Every new host has a different flair and some come off as a little too offensive. I am a mother as well but the way some of these parents talk about their kids is so disheartening and makes you wonder if they’re ever happy in their roles.

    Used to love it
    I really used to love this podcast and found it so relatable but it’s so dang political now and the constant mask and vacc talk is exhausting. I get it’s what is happening in the world and affects how we parent but a lot of people listen to these types of podcasts for entertainment and it’s just very negative anymore. I’ve had to unfollow it again and did this the first time about a year ago during the election for the same reasons. I thought maybe they would have calmed down and it would have gotten silly and light hearted again but it’s not.

    Getting a little too political and uneducated
    Lately Betsy has been a little too political for my liking, she is pro-vaccine and pro-masks but loves to send her kids to any camp or school available! Just to let you know CA is one of the only states that is pushing masks soo hard, and also your Gov is wine and dinning sans mask (if you forgot). I love how your guests are sitting in silence while you borate people who are actually asking questions, and doing their research. Also Betsy stop complaining how poor you and your husband are!

    Sanity check
    Betsy and all her guests give me my weekly sanity check as a mom of 3 boys. I listen and think “oh thank god, it’s not just my kids” or “oh same girl!” Thank you for being open and honest about the DAILY trials of parenthood!!
  • jsatwood
    I feel seen, even as a dad!
    Better and Amanda (or the cohost for this episode) are great. Even as a dad I feel so seen by their experiences. I also have three kids, a 6 1/2 year old boy, 4 year girl, and an infant boy. And it has been a year, but this show helps you get through the week.

    The best podcast for parents
    One of my favorite podcasts. I love to hear people talk about real experiences of parenting, with grace and humor. These parents listen to and validate each other, without any judgement or unwanted advice. And I always laugh so hard I cry. I listen every week the day this comes out.
  • perbecc
    Authentic and zero judgement
    I so look forward to this podcast each Monday. I’ve tried other parenting podcasts, but this is the only one I keep coming back to. It’s real, non-judgmental, funny, and helps me feel connected to all the other moms/dads doing their best. Thank you, Betsy, for making this podcast. You’re doing important work!
  • CharlotteVisitor
    Perfect!
    This is the only podcast I listen to every single week. It keeps me laughing and makes me feel sane!
  • hopelessandhopeful
    Funny, real, and a lifeline for new parents
    I love that there are so many episodes available so I can pick and choose. Currently I have a one year old so love hearing stories around his age. Have cried laughing on more than one occasion. Favourites are the early episodes with Amanda on every week!
  • MomNurseTeacherWifeHeather
    My favorite podcast
    I love this podcast! Have been listening for a couple years now and it’s seriously the best! It makes REAL motherhood/parenting funny. It is the only mommy podcast out there that doesn’t make you feel worse, shame you or try to give you advice! There’s also a super supportive Facebook group.

    No judgement zone
    Seriously so funny and it’s just so nice to hear a parenting podcast that you can relate to. No advice, no judgements, just sharing parenting stories and making you feel like you aren’t alone in the struggle.

    Love this podcast! I was just walking in my neighborhood while listening to this podcast cracking up. I’m sure my neighbors think I’m crazy😂
  • lindsayglifts
    Love this podcast
    It’s like a warm hug telling me it’s gonna be ok when I’m not quite ready to laugh at the terrible stuff my kid does so it lets me laugh at someone else’s terrible stuff.

    Language
    Too many F-bombs!!!! Can’t listen around my family because of the unnecessary amount of explicit cursing. Not cool.
  • morgzzd
    All the feel goods🥰
    I just recently started listening but I’m so glad I did. This show helps me stop mom guilting myself and reminds me that I am doing a great job while giving me a good belly laugh! So funny, so real. The best advice free zone!

    Amazing
    I love this podcast so much. It has made me feel so seen with my parenting. I was a single parent for the first five years and to know that my feelings were valid and others felt them too was amazing. So thank you!
  • Shitshow Mama
    Perfection!
    I cannot say how much I love this podcast! It makes me feel seen and not so alone in the insanity that parenthood sometimes is. Look forward to my new episode every Monday.

    Love love love this podcast!
    Betsy and Amanda are refreshingly candid about parenting and cover a full range of topics, including some really hard conversations. Great lineup of guests that offer different perspectives, and love the guest appearances by Betsy’s husband, Ari! Can’t recommend it enough, I look forward to it each week!

    “You’re doing a great job”
    This is the closing acknowledgment to every show. This mom gig can be hard and Betsy and Amanda always leave you feeling validated while making you laugh out loud. I look forward to a new show every week. They are definitely a bright spot these days. Thank you, ladies! Caw Caw!

    I don’t even have kids 😂
    This is my guilty addiction! I don’t have kids but I was the big sister growing up and some of the stories absolutely remind me of my siblings growing up. I also like to think it’s my prep course for getting ready for real motherhood lol! I look forward to listening every week and have a really hard time stifling my laughter when I’m at work. Y’all are doing a great job!!!
