Good evening friends Today we finally got a little sun and warmer weather, but the nights are still cold. Helena sleeps and I'm here now. It's here at 1 am and officially my son's birthday. I have to say that only tonight I understood the date. It never happened to me that I almost forgot about the child's birthday. Am I a bad mother for that?

You're not a bad mother, you have a lot going on and forgot. As you said, it's never happened before. Show yourself some grace.

@Nevena83 Not at all! Time moves so fast sometimes and it's only natural to forget what day or date it is. Some times I even forget what bloody year it is lol You're not a bad mother for this. I can promise you that. These things happen!

@Nevena83 This can happen easily if our minds are too busy. Making a cake is a very sweet thing for a mother to do.

No. You are a forgetful mother but not a bad one. I also forget birthdays and names and faces, but I remember memories sweet and warm. My mother asked me your question a long time ago. My mother was the perfect mother. Kiss your son. He will easily forgive you.

@Nevena83 It's one of the obligations of being a mom?

Hey don't consider yourself as bad mother. Take your child with you and purchase the thing of Helena's choice within your budget.
