I Am Honest

The truth is that I am not the best mum in the world... In fact, I haven't a compass which points towards true greatness. The needle spins about. So, I muddle through motherhood relying on feedback from the children and from Jon. Is that wrong? Probably.

Just when I thought I had done something fantastic and I was about to pat myself on the back and say "Good one Mum!"... that is when I hear negative feedback from one of the other children. So, perhaps you cannot make all of them happy all of the time. Is that it? I don't know... I am only asking the honest questions. Does anyone feel like they are a great parent? How do you do it?

You can never keep all f your children happy at the same time. There is always jealousy as well as sibling rivalry. You sound as if you are a very good mum indeed. All that you and Jon can do is instill upon them your own values. And then hope that they learn the lessons that both you and Jon have tried to teach them. ☺☮
