I would tend to agree that his wife needs something..., but she has 3 children (boys) at home in a small house, with very little extra money. Since she does not have a college education, finding a job that would cover the expense of daycare for 3 is unrealistic. He works full-time, and deals a little on the side to make ends meet.
In her defense, she is not a crack mom who is sitting in a trailer not taking care of her kids. She HAS a real life that is a 24/7 job, she works damn hard all day, and at night when the kids are asleep she occasionally wants a little pick me up.
As a mother of three at home myself, I can tell you that even with the most beautiful, wonderful kids... having one 3 yr old can drive you to drink, having two other little ones can put you over the edge. The sleep deprivation for any child under 18 months is a cause for psychiatric concern, but after being pregnant and nursing for 4+ years - when you've finally got your body back you might want to party a little bit too!
Don't judge that which you don't understand.
