Can you get better with motherhood?

[mumintraining]

Well I don't know about others but your comments so far have put a smile on my face.

I thought of another one:

Since becomming pregnant I have seen my own mother (and MIL) in a new light. I am more forgiving and understanding of their decisions and the past.

This really hit home when I realised that every decision I make affects their little life. While I will make mistakes I know I am trying my absolute best - just as my parents were trying to do for me.

Keep up the positive comments, I know you've made at least one persons day brighter.

For short term my body image improved alot. After 10 years though, I'd still like to feel better about myself. HOwever.......
I have learnt a new level of compassion.
I have learnt how to put my self in other people's shoes
I have become MUCh easier to set off into tears!!
I truly appreciate what my parents did for me.
Mainly though, it's taught me that there is nothing on this earth like the love of a mother for their child. I would do ANYTHING and go ANYWHERE for my children. I can't believe how strong the love is. I also have to remember that other mothers feel the same about their kids, and this has helped me especially with MIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
