No matter what I do, I can't seem to do the 'right thing'.

My adult children are wonderful, but no matter what I do, I get the feeling that I am not what I should be. I agonize over some of the stuff I didn't do when they were growing up. Is there any way to quit beating myself up?

You can only live for today, you can try and make up for what you feel you didn't do by being a better mum today or whatever but the past is past and just be the mother or grandmother that you think is a great mum or grandmother should be...life is way too short to be worried about the past, that door is closed...good luck and welcome to Mylot...
