Does things like learning to drive, getting your own car, own place etc make you a healthier/better mom/parent?

The common denominator for healthier parent/lover/worker/friend/boss/person/anything is caring. Just caring.

It can be learned and it should be taught.

Better? Sure, probably. It makes your more independent, which is good. Means you don't have to overlook negative things just to keep a roof over your head and you don't have to depend on someone else to provide for your child.

I'd hope you'd have all that done before becoming a parent.

Not really.
