Why do mothers go out partying and drinking?

[Teresa M]

I turned 30 a few months ago. I have two beautiful little girls aged 2 and 6. I am a stay at home mum. My husband works full time. Every now and again I love to go out with my friends, socialise, have some adult conversation and a giggle. Enjoy a few drinks and maybe go for a dance. I'm still capable of getting up in the morning to mind my two girls like I do every other day. Sometimes I go out with my husband. Sometimes its just me and the girls and sometimes my husband goes out for a few drinks with his mates. Why on earth would it annoy you that I or my husband would leave the other at home to go out and enjoy a few hours with friends company. Just because Im 30 does not mean im past it. I stay at home maybe 355 days of the year and relax ( not with wine because I never drink at home). When you have children and you hit 30 you will have then grown up and realised your social life does not have to end to be a good mother. There are many many families living in misery due to a number of factors. You will find that the healthy family unit can be one that the parents are able to get out for a "break" every now and then. Its good for a marriage and also for someones sanity.
