What are the rules to partying as a parent?

Ok. So I am well aware you don't party with your kids, but if you do be responsible. Don't get hammered. Don't drink until you are crawling with your baby. I get all that, but where does the line get drawn when the kids are away? Do parents ever get to put down the heavy burden and let loose without feeling like they are "too old" or that "I'm a mom, I cannot be seen doing this"?

My best friend and her husband have offered to buy concert tickets for my husband and I (incredible lifelong friends who are not just buying tickets BUT BOTTLE SERVICE). I am having an incredibly hard time accepting this generous gift and more importantly I'm struggling with if I am able to enjoy going out for weekend long concerts anymore. It feels so selfish.   I mean going to the gym for an hour and a half daily is all I can steal for myself already feels like I am taking from precious family time. I am constantly feeling like I am letting my husband down by not having the laundry folded the same day as it is washed because I am off pumping iron.

Is there ever a moment that you don't have to feel guilty as a mom? My husband is blissful in knowing he is a wonderful dad. I am constantly wondering if I am going to screw up and ruin my babies.

Oi. If only I could set my brain to dad mode and enjoy myself when a free, fun event comes to town.
