Good Wife? Good Mom?

Had a very good conversation with a good friend about how vices and parenthood co-mingle.

What makes one a good parents vs. a bad parent? What makes one a good wife vs. a bad wife? Struggling with the fact that getting fucked up with my hubby is actually very good for our relationship aka good for our marriage. But wondering how a hungover mommy is good for my kiddos.

Maybe Dooce knows? I think a good marriage is probably one of the best things for children. Hopefully this doesn't offend anyone. A serious question though.

I would imagine that a happy mom is more likely to be a good mom. So go for it (in moderation). And don't go anywhere loud the next morning :)

Good marriage equals happy house. Drinking and having fun with your spouse is part of the fun of having a partner in life. Your kids just want you = hangover or not....
