I've never seen it at a school sponsored event where kids were present. But non school sponsored events, definitely. And evening events, definitely.

At an ES PTA event pre-covid, was a newbie volunteer when another volunteer offered me a glass of wine. I was to nervous to say yes (no alcohol allowed in public schools in our district), and was never allowed to volunteer again (all positions were full).

She told me it was wine.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it was wine, or harder. Mommy wine /drinking culture is a thing.

No this was happening well before COVID

Pandemic! If it wasn’t a thing before, it may be now.

It's fairly common you probably just never noticed. If your child plays any kind of sport it's also very common, too. They're not drinking coffee.

OP how did you know it was wine?

I've seen parents bust out the white laws at kindergarten soccer games at 9am.

I don’t know that I’ve ever seen daytime drinking at least that I’ve noticed. Evening events like a silent auction? Absolutely.

Not my thing, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

I probably wouldn’t do that, but the auction or other festival. Definitely.

I volunteered for years at my kids’ school events and never did this but I don’t care what other people are doing if they’re not driving.

Our elementary school had a little Harvest Festival this weekend. I was surprised to see one of the moms with a corkcicle cup of wine while manning one of the booths. Is this a thing?
