@LadyDuck trying to be perfect is like trying to put a square peg in a round hole.

Nobody is perfect in this world. We can be the best person we can be, and that is all we can do.

That's what I was saying, there is no perfect anything in our world.

@HazySue Wouldn't it be great if we could be more perfect perhaps.

Very true

I hope my son thinks that I have done my best.

I am sure he does. He seems to be well adjusted and he didn't get that way by accident.

We can only do our best. God did give mothers a guideline in Proverbs 31. I know I fall short of the guideline.

I think all of us ten to fall short. We can only try to do the best we can do.

I think a bit of training about motherhood (and fatherhood) wouldn't go astray. Most of us go into it with very few skills.

@HazySue Some schools here hand out plastic type babies which are programmed to cry for long periods in the middle of the night blah blah. I think they are a good idea too. The boys get given them too I think although I don't know a lot about it.

@JudyEv At our Middle School they had a project in Home Ec that involved baby dolls like that. It was quite interesting how the students reacted to have a baby that "needed" them 24/7.

I often wonder if having a training pe4rmit to train you before you do have a baby.

I think there are close to perfect Mothers, but on the flip side far from perfect period.

There are mothers who seem to instinctively know what needs to be done and said and there are mothers who don't even try.

I think that we all worry that we could have done better. I know that my own mom always did. And I followed in her path. But maybe too protective at times??
