Guilt about doing things different the 2nd time around

[Tuesday's Child]

I might have parented my children differently but I've loved them the same. In my book that's what matters most.

Perfectly said.

We do the best we can with the knowledge we have at the time.

We all do the best we can, armed with the knowledge we have on THAT particular day.

Next week you could find out more info, and make a new decision.

We're constantly learning, that's a good thing.

In a perfect world, you'd have done your learning before having number one, but the world isn't perfect, sometimes you only start a learning journey, cos something goes wrong, and then you go off on a search. Sometimes it the fluke of bumping into someone who makes a suggestion.

When you know better, you do better. And everyone's version of what "better" is, is going to be individual.

I have had one child and will ahve no more, i used to constantly replay the "well i've made my mistakes now, learnt what i SHOULD have done, i need to ahve #2 so i can put into practice, well rectify all the mistakes i made. And now, no #2. I've had to come to grips with that. I have done the best i could, armed with what i knew at the time. I still feel woefully inadequate, but i do know, i've done the best i could.
