Do you frequently ask yourself this question? The stop it immediately. Nobody is perfect and as the popular saying goes `a mother knows what is best for the child'...keep an open mind. Consider the suggestions offered to you but make your own decisions regarding your child. Happy motherhood.

I know I am a very good mother but, there is always someone with something to say about the way me and my husband parent.Sometimes it makes me think I am not.

I like to think I am a good mother, but everyone has their own definition of what a good mother is. I am really struggling to be a good mother. I was recently diagonosed with Bi-polar and it is getting a lot easier for me, but there for a long time I yelled at my kids because I was in a bad mood even though I knew it wasn't there fault. I would feel so bad afterwards and go to them and tell them I was sorry and hug them. THey always said, It's ok, mom.", but I always wondered if I was doing more damage than good. Now that I am on medicine for that I can really tell the difference and I think my family is better and happier than we have been in years....
