Can Moms Get Drunk?

Started by Kat , author of Mama's Losin' It! 6/9/2010 3:59:32 PM

Is there a certain standard of how moms should or should not behave? Why do we feel guilty leaving our kids to have a night out on the town? Is it okay get drunk with the girls at the club?

I don't think it's right. I think when you become a mom you say goodbye to the wild lifestyle you used to lead. Your kids deserve a secure, safe, healthy parent...why would you put yourself in a location where you might be harmed and in an unstable mind frame? Better yet, how would your kids feel if they saw you behaving that way?

I think it IS okay for a mom to loosen up a bit...no offense pretty4evr, but you're a little conservative for my taste. There definitely is no problem with having fun and drinking with the girls. And I certainly would not care if my kids saw me drunk...I'd probably be way nicer to them.

Hell to the no is it OK for your kids to see you drunk.  First, I think it would scare them.  And second, it is utterly inappropriate.

I'm all for getting my drink on with my girls.  (That is, usually I am.  As you can see, I'm not much of a drinker right now - LOL)  However, allowing your kids to see you drunk is downright irresponsible. 

I'll also even go a step further and say that this is true no matter how old your kids are.


I say it's fine, as long as your kids are not around, won't see you when you return, and there is a designated driver.  A little fun, that's all...we need a break sometimes!

Some of you ladies actually get drunk in front of your kids? I'm just kind of curious as to how that happens?

But you said in the other post about women being hit, the Bible says its ok to hit women, but you dont think a mom should drink

So you want moms to no go out and drink so the kids can be safe and secure and where you might be gettng harmed but stay home and get hit by your husband?

You lost me


As long as there is someone to watch the kids and your not falling down acting stupid then theres nothing wrong with it....

"Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing."

---Ephesians 5:21-33


No. Your friend should not leave

 

This is what you posted in the other topic

but you say

Your kids deserve a secure, safe, healthy parent...why would you put yourself in a location where you might be harmed

Now while I may be just a guy, husband, father and friend to my wife, but I think if my wife wanted to go out 1 night and have a few that is a hell of alot safer environment than if she stays her butt at home and I hit her.

Please tell me if I am out of line so I dont keep going on about this

Thank you Deanna.  I agree.  Now will you pour me a drink?

I assume most women are in a safe and secure place when they are at home with their husbands. All children deserve a healthy environment with both loving parents home and sober.

If a husband is mistreating his wife than that is for them to seek counsel from our loving Father. I believe a woman should stand by her husband and hold true to her vows...in good and in bad. And also sober and at home.
