Exactly. Getting high doesn’t make one a “better mom”. Sacrificing selfish desires makes one a better mom:

Changing wet sheets and bathing a three year old at 2 in the morning with a loving spirit rather than irritation at the bed wetting accident.

Cleaning vomit off a child, yourself and the couch while comforting the sick and crying child.

Waking early to make a child’s favorite breakfast on his/her birthday.

Our son just told us that a recent survey found that 51% of adults in the US use pot regularly. Very sad.

No disrespected intended to your son but I believe his source for this survey is WAAAAAY wrong.

http://www.popsci.com/survey-says-percent-americans-smoking-weed-has-doubled-since-2002

“If you’re an adult who has smoked marijuana in the past year, you’re one of about 30 million Americans who has done so, according to a new survey by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) that was published yesterday in JAMA Psychiatry. That number has doubled since the last survey in 2001-2002; then, only 4.1 percent of those surveyed had smoked in the last year, and now it has risen to 9.5 percent. The percent of people using marijuana to treat medical disorders has also risen in that period, from 1.5 to 2.9 percent of those surveyed.”
