Katie Couric: Mommy’s Little Helpers
More women admit they need something to get through the day, from wine to prescriptions, on Katie’s show about Mommy’s Little Helpers on August 28.
One mom, Marile Borden, started a Facebook page for Moms Who Need Wine. But another LA mom said she had a huge wake-up call that made her give up drinking forever. These ladies are going to share their stories on August 28.
Katie Show: Adderall Prescriptions for Moms
Then there is the issue of prescription medication. Some women admit to popping pills as the way to stay on task. Adderall is apparently one of those Mommy’s Little Helpers. According to at least one online survey, 25% of moms are taking drugs to ease the pressures they feel in life.
What’s more, Adderall prescriptions are on the rise, with an increase of over 700% for women ages 26-39. That is a huge jump, and some women are finding out the hard way that this habit can be a gateway to other stimulants.
What do you think about moms reaching for pill bottles to keep it all together?
