    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.

    Great thread!!

    I'm a good mum because I get up to DS at 2am and sing to him for an hour and a half instead of yelling at him to go back to sleep, which is what I really wanted to do

    Sleep is over-rated anyway lol

    Ok, I'm a good mum cos I let DS have m & m's in the car on the way home from daycare cos otherwise he will fall asleep and the tanty that he wakes up with really sucks.

    Ummm... I let the kids paint inside and then wash off the paint from the floor.

    Ummm... I know that the sleep deprivation won't last forever so I keep having babies just to make it seem like it does

    altho most days i feel like the worst mum in the world, im still here, the kids are still noisily happy, so thats got to count for something...
    i am a good mum because, im willing to admit when im wrong,
    im more then happy to leave the house dirty when the kids want me to watch a movie or play cars with them
    im more then happy to lay down and pretend to nap when bubba girl is overtired but wont give in
    im a good mum as i just spent more on new shoes for the boys then ive spent on my own shoes in 2 yrs!!! only as they realy REALY wanted the expencive ones (and needed new ones!)

    df is a good dad because he knows when ive had enough and can take over bed time, dinner ect
    hes a good dad because like today, has taken one son out so the more naughty one is behaved and *hopefully* learns to stop back chatting!
    hes a good dad when mums had enough he gets up and does the early morning bottles
    and hes been even better lately doing some housework, telling me hes accepted my lazyness!!
