I do work, and I'm a very responsible, and good Mother.

Absolutely not- as long as the kids are well-cared for, you should be able to go out and have fun from time to time. Having time to be yourself without taking care of their needs is very important to keep you from burning out. What's better than having a happy mom!

I hope you didn't get the idea that it's wrong from people who don't have kids. It's hard enough to find a babysitter, still look great(after kids),finding something pretty to wear in our mommy closet, be able to stay up past 11:00, find the money to go out(after diapers,school supplies), find the time, after working, and cleaning the whole house and making everyone dinner to managing keeping any friends in the first place, and on top of ALL THIS, we have to deal with the guilt of of going out once a month for a couple hours, and what every else is thinking of me too. so, you go out- your life is not over, the happier you are-the happier your children will be.

Not wrong, Once in a While. Once a month even if you have an absolutely, one hundred percent trustworthy sitter. A good mom knows that part already. Dancing though, drinking is entirely irresponsible when you go out and have kids to come home to.

Depends what out dancing once and a whle really means. If that means get bloody drunk, have a stranger give you a ride home and not remember what you did for most of the ngiht the next day, then I think it is wrong.
Act the way you would want your kids to act when they are 18+. Set a good example for them now-- even if you think they are too young to understand, they aren't. But don't forget that it is good for them to have a mom who takes time for herself. just make it responsible time.

no it's not wrong...every mom needs to get out and be without the kids once in a while...if mom's didn't do anything but stay at home all the time..we'd go crazy..there's nothing wrong with having fun as long as it doesn't affect your ability to be a good mother. All women need to have their free time! : )

Nothing's wrong with that, unless you just gave birth 2 weeks ago and you go out dancing in some 5 inch heels like my auntie until 2 am.... I think thats bad for you.

I,being a mother,myself think you should go out every now and th en as long as it's not a habit and you neglect your children. It's good to go out and let your hair down. :)

As long as you don't leave your children feeling left out of your life, like going out with your friends is a big secret then it's fine.

Depends on your definition of once in a while. If you're out getting your freak on 3 nites a week...then you have a problem.
