Good Mother

This is hard to answer. Not that I don't my opinions on myself, but that I know that no matter what I say someone else will jump up and reply "Well I don't do that and I'm a good mother!" and be offended and assume that I'm saying that anyone who doesn't do exactly what I do is the worst mother ever. So if anyone reads this and gets upset remember that I'm making an I statement, not a YOU statement. I think I'm I'm a good mother because I listen to my children and treat their needs as equally important in the household. I don't expect them to conform to fit into my life instead I strive to find the balance where we all get what we need to live happily and peacefully. If that means I give up a few things for a few years while they are young that doesn't bother me, I had my time before they came and I'll have it again when they are grown.

I am not sure if there is one definitive answer but I do know one thing. Spending time with your children and letting them know that you will always be there for them is paramount as a mother. There is no other role or job quite like being a mother. I find that it can be rewarding and challenging and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Children are special. We brought them into this world and they are always a part of us. We should also be good role models. Remember they are looking to us whether you realize it or not, to guide them through life and help them to make the right decisions.

We could list tons of specifics, but I don't think that's the point. A good mother loves her kids, and everything she does for them is quided by that love. A good mother will always put her kids needs before her own.
