when can you say that your a good mom or parent to your child/children???

I obsolutely agree with you ettenaej that being a good parents to our child we should be a good model to them...

You can say that you're a good mom if you are able to provide the needs of your kids. These are not just material needs, but also your time and love. If you are too busy with work and can't have much time with your kids as much as you wanted to, try having quality instead of quantity time. Seeing your child grow up to be a good person would also merit you as good parent.

Being a good parent is sometimes a tough thing to do. I judge myself on the fact that I sometimes make mistakes, which is a good thing in my mind. If we are not making mistakes, we are not growing and learning. I look at my children to see if they are happy and content, doing well in school, practicing the good habits that I try to teach them, such as taking responsibility for a pet or their chores. I also try to remember that there will be times when my child will make a mistake, and must learn from that mistake. I will not always clean up there messes, as there may come a day when I am not there. All in all, depending on your goals as a parent, you will have to decide if you are happy with your child's progress through life. And you must remember to ask yourself often if there is something that you can change to help them grow into a mature, responsible adult. 18 years is such a short time to accomplish that goal!
