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?

Oh, geez. Such a difficult question. I mean, not really, so long as what you're typing is accurate and I'm reading it correctly. If such is the case, you're being a wonderful mom. The future is not known, so you won't know what the best choice will be. But you're making great choices now because you're living in the moment. And don't worry about using the TV to help you when you're over stressed. You don't seem to rely on it too much. So keep up the great work.
