It can be very difficult for mothers. I know it has been at times for me. for instance, I make a decision and wonder if it was the right one. Parents always want everything to be perfect. The thing is parenting is based mainly on trial and error. We are human and we all make mistakes or the wrong decisionsat times. Sometimes we are to hard on ourselves. It's always maybe I should have done this instead of that. Deep sown we know we are good parents , but at times like these we often question that. Have you ever questioned yourself? What made you question yourself? Do you think most parents feel this way? do you think you could ever become an expert in parenting since each child is unique?

I think all parents question themselves at one point or another. You have to learn from your mistakes and try to do the best you can.

every parent questions themself! i always look back on situations with my kids and think "ugh.. if i would have done this, it would have worked better"... but it is definately about trial and error. As long as you always do what you think is best for your children... then you are doing great!!! NO PARENT is perfect!! We just have to do what we believe is best for our kids, and try to teach them as well as we can. I think the main thing in being a "good parent" is listening to them (and i mean really listening).. and making sure that they know that no matter what, we are here for them and show them that they can come to us with anything, and no matter what we will always love them! =)
