Sometimes, we all just need a break. Some moms hide in the bathroom; others take an extra 20 minutes in a parking lot somewhere. But Lauren Davidson has a trick that sounds pretty appealing: “Lately, when I need a break, I’ve been going to a bar, ordering a fancy cocktail and eating a snack in peace. I’ll admit: It feels wrong. Moms shouldn’t go out drinking. On a school night. Alone. But I don’t feel there’s anything wrong with what I’m doing, on principle.” Allow her to explain!
