How can I be the best mum?

I have a 1 year old and genuinely curious of how I can be the best mum possible to him.

I try my best to spend time sitting, exploring and talking to him. I know how to make him belly laugh and I have never felt myself lose my temper with him. I do however sometimes allow miss Rachel or Mickey Mouse tv time when I’m overwhelmed (I work full time so balancing being a mum and working is tricky). I also don’t have a lot of money at the moment just with paying off some debt so I buy a lot of his things from Vinted - not sure if this makes me a bit of a crappy mum.

How can I be better?

The answer is simple and doesnt take a lot of money. You will put your life on hold for the next 20 years and always be in his life. Just always be there. You wont always be there when they skin their knees or have a tummy ache. Just never let them feel like they are alone when it happens. Do that alone and you will make mother of the year..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman thank you. It’s crazy how much you can love someone that’s only been in your life a year, I wish I could go into his mind and make him understand how loved he is lol

@Needchange1111 And thats exactly what you will be doing. You are the filter and the lens through which he will see and understand the world. And a child you will be his Superwoman. Able to perform miracles.😷
