I’m a terrible mum

[FadeAway1]

I know I’m not usually a terrible mum. I work hard to be the best mum I can be. I give them lots of cuddles, read with them, take them places, draw & paint with them. But I feel terrible for something I have done.

This weekend, we had friends over on Sunday. It was meant to be for a few drinks in the garden but we all got carried away. I should add that on this occasion, it was me drinking and not DH. We tend to take turns incase of an emergency.

I don’t know what happened, I think it might be that I didn’t eat enough, but the alcohol really went to my head and I ended up quite drunk. I let the kids stay up late (age 8 and 6) despite it being a school night and in all honesty, I can’t really remember the end of the night.

I’ve not got form for this at all. This is a complete one off but I feel really ashamed of myself.

Not sure why I’m posting. I’ve just been hating myself for the last couple of days and undeserving of my lovely kids.

I can’t actually understand what you’re worried about. You and your husband have a good plan in place where you take turns to loo after the children whilst the other one can get a bit merry if they want to.

How have you met your children down if he was the one looking after them that evening?

Unless you are missing something out such as you took all your clothes off and started singing I found my thrill on blueberry hill in front of the children, then what exactly is it that you have supposed to have done that is so terrible?

I was waiting for a big terrible incident.
Nothing happened.
