How hard is parenting?

Yes children should come with a book but since they don't you just have to the best you know how,I am sure if you had realized that the bubble bath wasnt tear free you wouldnt have used it,so quit beating yourself up I am sure your a wonderful mommy.You have a great day.

Of course it is hard to become a good parent. As a mom I want all the best for my son. He is going 4 months old next month and until now I still can't believe that he came from me because he is already 7 kilograms. Well in my case I did hurt him when he was only one week old. I accidentally clamped his skin when I put a cloth diaper. I wanted to hurt myself for being so careless and knowing that his skin is still very soft during that time. But to my surprise I never hurt him again. Having mistake makes us more careful the next time we treat our babies. It is by doing such thing that makes us realize that we should always think first and be very cautious with our acts when it comes to babies. So my advice to you is move on, try not to think of your mistake and bear in mind that you will never do that again. Just continue loving and nurturing your baby and give him or her the best love you could. Just like what I am doing with my baby. I always think positive that I am a good mom. Thinking positive makes me feel strong because being a mom and wife is already a big sacrifice. Now I admire the good moms around the world because no man could ever replace the love that we give to our children. It may be hard to become a parent but in the end you will realize that you are a worthy person because you are loving and sacrificing yourself for your own child.

Parenting is hard work. I love raising my son. but sometimes I hate how I let him get away with things because I am to busy to notice he's doing bad things. he's 4 years old and pretty good boy most of the time. I hate when i put him in time out he won;t leave it unless I pick him up and move him. I tell him everytime ok your time up is over you can get out. he just sits on his chair in the corner silently and won't leave. Sometimes I am not sure if the time out rule works. I do some spankings but only one and then I get agravated he still not listening and I feel guilty for giving him one so I say go to time out. What is it about time out and kids not wanting to leave time out??

hahaha. its not your fault. every mom wont let their kids be hurt. its just sometimes we hurt them unintentionally. anyways, partenting is really hard. most of the people i know they will tell me that the hardest job is to be a parent. its an all around work. no holidays, no vacation and no salary. but if we see our child growing up to be a good person its a reward to us parents.

I asked the hospital when I had both of my girls if they had a book written that I could take home. And you know, there are tons of books on parenting written but every child is different so it's really hard to find something that applies to your situations and is tailored to your child and their specific needs.

At the end of the road, parenting shouldn't be hard at all. It is the most beautiful thing. Of course, there's bumpas and all, but you shouldn't feel bad for what happened with your little girl.

I can understand how you must feel. I have had moments like the one you described here. Everything will be fine. Children are resilient and probably won't even remember the episode. I got pretty angry with my son when he was about two years old and shoved him and he kind of went into something and fell. He wasn't hurt that bad however I felt a little guilty over that incident. His is a very forgiving child. I spent most of my time after that just giving him love and affection and I deal with his behavior in a more constructive manner. Sometimes we accidentally do things also to our children and we feel bad because we are mothers.
