I really feel that things feel shameful if we don't talk about it and self-harming with the kids with the internet. You know they, they remove alcohol from their lives.
Ever wondered how parenting changes when you take alcohol out of the equation? In this episode of 'Sobriety Unleashed', Ellen Woods from Sobriety Sisterhood and Simon Chapple, founder of Be Sober, dive into the highs and lows of sober parenting. Ellen opens up about her past struggles with daily drinking and how it affected her relationship with her son. She reflects on prioritizing alcohol over her children and the pressures of the 'mummy wine culture'.
Simon shares stories from his clients, including one who allowed his young daughters to have a small glass of wine with dinner, illustrating how alcohol habits can be passed down through generations. The duo emphasizes the importance of setting a positive example for kids and having open conversations about alcohol. Ellen discusses how she talks to her son about her own experiences, showing that change is possible.
Simon highlights the perks of sober parenting, like spending quality time with his children and being fully present in their lives. They also touch on navigating social situations as a sober parent, cultural differences in alcohol use, and the legal drinking age. The conversation rounds off with their hopes for a future where binge-drinking culture is less prevalent.
