Hello, friend. Welcome to Why Mommy Drinks. This is Betsy Stover. And I am joined today by my amazing husband, Ari Vukitas.

Hi, everybody. Hi, it's been a day. It's been a day. It's almost 11 and there's still up. You might even be able to hear them.

So today was the day that Amy Albert and I did Why Mommy Drinks live. And I'm hoping that we can do that.

I'm hoping that Why Mommy Drinks can do that once a month. So if you missed it, don't stress. And

Um, hopefully we'll be doing it maybe like March 19th or so. So stick around for for details for that. Don't stick around here. I don't know what I mean.

Just, you know, make sure you're following us on Instagram. You'll know. Um, so today's been a very long day because we did that. And then Ari and I did an

illuminati improv show and, uh, and then our children, uh, were, you know, being themselves. And so we're just, uh, exhausted. But because I was so busy getting ready for the show this week, I forgot to book a guest.

And then I also forgot to just tape an episode. So here we are. So here's what we're going to do. We're going to listen to some of your phone calls. And, uh, that's what we're going to do.

Hi, ladies. So my name is Rachel. Um, I have a daughter who's four and a son and two. And, um, I think it's a literal show. So, um, to make it a short story. Um, I am in college still. Um, I work. My husband works. We gave our kids. It's life was busy. So today, well, as my chemistry final.

And I hate chemistry. So everything was a little stressful.

And being myself ready and realizing like, I didn't really have time on the way to study. So I'm just trying to get this new study. And then the kids wake up.

And my two year old, like usual, peed, all his clothes, peed on the bed. I'm like, oh, I'm so stressful. I couldn't end up whatever.

We gave birth to him in the living room, watching our tablets. And as I'm getting ready, a spider comes, like, suspending down the ceiling right about to lay down my stomach.

So I call for my husband because I am a big baby. And he pretends to get a little upset with me because he's in the bathroom. And I'm calling him for the spider.

Oh, it was a mess. Oh, that's just the first part. But after that, I get myself ready. I go to my test. I take it. I actually did well. So that's an upside.

But I'm still feeling frustrated after it because there was just a lot of like weird air from this morning. So I get home.

And I'm leaving at me when I get home. My husband's in a bad mood. And we start to argue. And like, I didn't tell it's about to get into a loud argument.

Like one of those ones where we've been avoiding the conversation. So I decide, okay, let's get the kids out of the way. Make sure they're not watching us argue.

It's like very rarely do they ever go into our bedroom. I decided to turn on the TV in the room and let the kids sit on the bottom.

And I call the door and the TV's on nice and loud. And we go out and we have our argument. Totally fine. Totally normal. Nothing.

So then after we kind of come down from the night and the bedroom and I'm like, oh no. Somebody has a water glass.

Do you find they did in fact have a walk back to dump all over our bed before two.
