Well, if she just had a couple drinks at the party that is probably OK. This story does make it sound like she was loaded, but the writer of this little tidbit may have been exagerating.

Um, speaking as a mother who has thrown birthday parties, I can tell you that it's almost necessary to get completely klobbered. Makes it tolerable.

I guess I'm a freak then. I can't wait till my kid is old enough to have 10 of her classmates over for silly party games and tons of sugary crap.  Hell, that's half the reason I had a kid! If I could throw myself a birthday party with hats and noisemakers and make my friends play pin the nose on Owen Wilson, I would!

I had an awesome Halloween party for my kids and their friends. It ended up with a huge food fight in the garage(I joined in!) After all of the kids left, I drank myself into oblivion

If you put me in the middle of a birthday party surrounded by twenty 4 yr olds, you'd better set me up with a vodkatini IV and some valium!!!

I love kids' birthday parties, too, but I am not a mom. I have always been there in my aunt capacity.

God you women who stand stand being around children! I hope none of you have children. If you can't wait until the party is overto have a drink, DON'T HAVE A PARTY. If you are a guest who can't stand kids, DON'T GO TO THE FU**ING PARTY. If she had one or two drinks no big deal, getting blotto, not acceptable and you all know it.

Nana, honey, do you need a drink? 
Yep, guys, I am a new mom but I've been throwing parties for my brother's kids for ages. Every year, the entire family has to dress up for Halloween. I mean everyone. They may scrounge around at the last minute but they have fun dammit. I throw all of the family birthday parties too and have quite a collection of kid's party books.

^^Ok, I have a good idea here. How about you become a kids party planner! You can organize all the festivities/food/games/favors for the parents and set everything up. AND most importantly, CLEAN UP AFTERWARDS. I'd hire you tomorrow!!
It's just not real fun, the kids party thing...at least I don't think so. Which is probably why I had a few cocktails myself...

Thanks girls.
Lynnie, I swear to you, that very idea has been suggested to me many many times. If I thought I could make money at it, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I hate kids parties too. When my kids had a birthday they could have a party or take a friend to Disneyland and spend the night in a hotel. That way we all had fun. No cooking or cleaning up and room service to boot.
That's when I had my wine.
