It’s easy to feel like a failure as a mother, especially when you haven’t been doing it long.
You lose your patience, you fail to recognize the signs of an oncoming illness, you realize your kid has their shoes on the wrong feet (and they have been all day). Piled together these situations, while innocent, can make even the most self-assured mom second-guess herself.
But what’s important is that you don’t dwell on your mistakes.
Everyday, you wake up and try to do what’s best for your child. Occasionally, you will fall short. It happens. To EVERYONE.
You have to assure yourself that you are the best mother that you can be. Don’t aim for perfection, because it simply doesn’t exist.
