[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know about you guys, but wine in a sippy cup sounds pretty good to me right now.... [/quote]

I don't get the wine in a sippy cup reference...? People think putting wine in a sippy cup and drinking it is...? Subversive? Are they making a joke? I genuinally don't follow. [/quote]

I don’t get it either. Why a sippy cup? Why not just  a regular glass? Don’t understand.[/quote]

This is why we all want to move back.

My understanding is that since sippy cups are for kids, drinking wine out of them is edgy — like, you’re a ‘cool, funny, doesn’t take herself too seriously’ mom. Maybe a little too harried to have a clean adult wine class.

Ok I am starting to understand. They see it as madcap and whimsical, with a measure of not giving a f***.
Yes, that would be grounds for moving for me too.

I was one of the first folks to mention wine in a sippy cup on this thread, and yes, they see it as subversive. More to the point, though, I think it is masking a pretty deep unhappiness. The women in the community where I lived were really unhappy, and it manifested through near-constant drinking and exercise. No, I don't know how they made it through Pilates when they'd be drinking all morning. I'm guessing a high tolerance.

I think most of them had worked at one point, and gave it up to SAH. Then...their kids hit school age and didn't really need them anymore, so what then? Either drinking, Pilates, and casually racist gossip about the neighborhood (Did you HEAR that Stephanie on Girard Avenue's daughter is dating a boy she met at a nightclub....in the CITY?!!?), or another baby. Those were the choices.

But, as references the discussion about white women drinking too much, YES. These women drank in the morning, drank in the afternoon, and drank at night while discussing "Eat Pray Love" at book club.

Maybe that's someone's idea of the good life, but it wasn't mine.  [/quote]
