Not just you. There's definitely a culture of "you have to be drunk to tolerate your own children, amirite?" in the US. It's pathetic and sad.

I never realized how much mommy junk there is out there encouraging alcoholism.

You never see things with slogans like "I Drink Because My Job Sucks" or "Abusive Boyfriend Tolerance Potion." These are toxic situations that you'd be encouraged to leave rather than cope with, but if it's drinking to deal with your kids, it's all, "Hell yeah! Solidarity guuuuurrrrrl!!!! Pour me another glass!" Probably because unlike a horrible job or a horrible partner, you can't actually leave horrible parenthood. So you self-medicate with substances.

I never saw that either, but I've seen junk encouraging coffee to help them keep up with the kids.

The "I Drink Because My Job Sucks" trope is actually quite common. Many people deal with jobs they don't like so they can pay their living expenses or for the things they do like. Unlike parenthood, most people can't choose not to have a job in the first place.
