Part of me felt guilty for enjoying Mother's Day, because God knows I'm not perfect and I've been downright selfish at times.

But you're right and I need to be praying for all those neglected, abused kids out there...far too many. <BR/><BR/>On another note, I yell and get impatient too and I too wish I didn't. We are a work in progress...I pray everyday for God to make me into the person He wants me to be. But like Paul said, we forget what is behind and press towards what is ahead and we won't reach the goal until we are home with Jesus.<BR/><BR/>Be well, Jenni.

(The ex-MIL) Hey, I think the very fact that you notice what makes a good mother and what doesn't, and sincerely try to better yourself is what makes you a good mother.

I have spent a lot fo time watching other moms myself, since my own mom died when I young, and then I had a crazy stepmom for a while... sometimes it's strange to me that I'm just a "normal" mom who loves her kids. I can't believe I am one of those, someone who is not perfect at all but just loves her kids and takes care of them. That's what I do. Wow. I'm so thankful.<BR/><BR/>Did you eat the spaghetti, though?

I think the very fact that you are noticing your own flaws is an indication that you ARE a good mother--none of us are perfect, but those of us who are trying to improve are on the right path. The bad mothers are the ones who are flawed and don't care and don't work on changing.Brightonwomanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01279308378287322473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37095225.post-61102577879761016992008-05-12T11:02:00.000-04:002008-05-12T11:02:00.000-04:002008-05-12T11:02:00.000-04:00Thank you.

I think we more of us should strive to be the best mother's we can be. I recently witnessed a few awful parenting events (I posted about them on my blog) that made me realize that while I will NOT be a perfect mom (because who is?) I certainly will not be as bad as the ones that you mentioned or I witnessed. <BR/><BR/>Happy (belated) Mother's day to you.
