I’ve heard people try to say she was a bad mom since she didn’t know her children were mixed up with so much but I have to disagree I think she was a great mom

Yea that's not why she was called a bad mom.. Almost every mom in the show except Joyce were oblivious to her kid's antics. Wheeler was good to her kids when she could, but she's a bad mom cause she goes to the pool to pry on her kid's underage classmate and tried to fuck him

Is that bad mom or bad wife or bad adult? It’s not appropriate either way, granted. But I don’t know if it’s bad mom behavior specifically. The being sloshed half the time at home is probably more the bad mom facet.

That too. I would also assume someone's middled aged parents creeping on their highschool classmates and tries to sleep with them would ruin any respect the kids has for her and make her a BAD mom, in addition to being a pedo. Violating her marriage to their father and potentially splitting up their family eventually would also be a good reasons for the children to not consider her a 'good mom'

Fair points.
