do you ever question yourself as a parent?

sometimes...i never punish my daughter that much coz i believe that you should deal with it calmly but sometimes, when she really goes overboard and makes me mad of what she has done, i tend to punish her and that would make her cry...and then after that, i would feel sorry about what i have done and comfort my daughter afterwards...

when my sons were all younger if they missed behaved then they would get a spanking I truely think that today the laws need to find other means of punishment because it is a gainst the law to spank you kids time out I think does not do anygood

I think that I am a good parent, but there are times that I question the skills that I have. I don't think that I have ever punished my children for any reason that they did not deserve. Was there a different way of handling it? I am sure there was, but, I stick to whatever decision that I made. If there is one thing in life that children need, it is stability. If I go back on what I have said or done, then that shows the child that I am unsure about my ability. This in turn will make them unsure indecisions that they make in the future. I don't think that you would be a normal if you didn't question your skills as a parent.

ya.. sometimes i have had a feeling like that. I have shown my anger to my kids for a slight mistakes they commited and later felt bad about that.

Always, I think a good parent is one who learns from their mistakes, if you have handled something in the wrong way you should apologise to your children and try to do things differently and better next time a situation arises.

I think if you are a good parent, you have to occasionally question what you are doing. It's like any other profession, you need to improve & grow if you're going to be great at it. With parenting, you need to evaluate if what you are doing with your child is working best for them.

I question myself most of the time, but I had really good role models. I often try not to make the same mistakes that my parents made when I was growing up. I think everybody questions themselves as parents, but part of being a parent is to be confident in one otherwise how can we really teach our children if we can't even teach ourselves.

Everyday of my life. I always find something that I could of done different. But I'm only human and we all mess up at least once a day, I'm sure. I know I do my best and mistakes happen. You can't find the perfect parent out there. No one is perfect.
