[maz]

they see me in the raw...happy, angry, silly, serious...all parts of a normal person.

Im a good mum too cause I cant handle seeing them upset and as J man says, I spoil them to much to him I say

I am a good mum because i manage to breastfeed DD2 (15mths now), work 3 days a week (since DD2 was 4 months of age) doing shift work (including night shift) and manage a household and parent my girls as gentley as possible. Despite the tears, my "psycho mum" rages, children that dont sleep and not sleeping with my husband ever becasue he has to sleep with DD1 every night i manage to keep my cool most of the time. My girls are happy and healthy and i truely believe that is due to me and DH being such wonderful parents and the help and total support we get from our parents.

Wow that felt good saying all that!!
Thanks for a good thread Dedicated_Mummy

Wow I need this thread today,
I am a good Mum, because I will never give up on my kids, I will never say its too hard.
I am a good Mum because I am LEARNING by my many mistakes.
I am a good Mum because I value the individuals my kids are
I am a good Mum because I would go to the ends of the Earth for my children

Im a good mum because

* I try and make time for one on one time with each child everyday. Be it reading a book, building blocks, making playdough or dancing with them Im doing something with just them.
* I narrate my day until Im blue in the face in hopes DS speech issue will improve before they label us .
* I am working on my issues (my weight, PND etc) with them in mind. Im a better mum when Im active, eating well and following my mental health plan.
and last but not least...
* I can tell my twins apart BUT dont correct people who have trouble so not to embarass them

Excellent post tattoo_mama! You are a wonderful mother and an amazing role model for your beautiful girl. When things are suckful I hang onto the fact that no matter what they can be proud of me because everything I do is to benefit them (uni, gym, whatever) in some way and hopefully they'll see it too.

Well.. My 6 yr old told me tonight that i am the best mummy ever because I cooked him cabbage for dinner!!
I think right now I am a good mum because even when I have had enough and I want to shut my self away from the world, I know that my kids need me and I some how find it in me to be their everything
