theres no perfect parents. but we can do all that we can to protect them and love them. let them feel that we are there for them always.

All you can do it your best. Perfection is not the goal. Raising happy, healthy kids is the goal. All you can hope for is that thay will be as well adjusted as possible. Aiming for perfection will drive you and them nutty. I think that would do more harm than good.

I have two children. I do not consider myself to be a perfect parent and my parents were nowhere near perfect either. No one is perfect. As a parent or otherwise. You can just try to do the best you can to raise a healthy and normal child.

I am a stay at home mom of a 2 year old and a 9 month old and while I generally don't really like the term "perfect", because it overall classifies as one having no faults and we all know that no one is perfect, but I do believe that we all can strive to be perfect in whatever we choose to do. I know that I personally try my best to be as perfect as I can as a mom, but it's all by trial and error. I learn each and everyday, as with time, comes patience. I think in the end, if we have tried our best, our children see us for the good and overlook all the times we were at our worst.
