What mommy really needs. (Hint: Respect, equality, and universal family leave would be a good start.)
While we feel sometimes like every good t-shirt slogan in the world has been done...nope! And here's a new one too good not to share, especially in time for Mother's Day.
Inspired by the popularity of a post on her Instagram feed that responded to all the "mommy needs booze" memes going around since the dawn of the mom blogosphere, Graeme Seabrook created a t-shirt that reads:
This mommy needs
-wine
-an end to the white supremacist, patriarchal, capitalist system that makes modern motherhood so dehumanizing that self-medication is both aspirational and expected.

For the right mom, this tee is perfect. Personally, I do like wine. And working towards social justice. And hey, if you do want to enjoy a nice glass of rosé while wearing the tee and texting your congressperson all at the same time, I say go for it. You can grab the This Mommy Needs... tee from Graeme Seabrook's The Mom Store in lots of colors and styles.More gift guides you’ll like
