Women worry if they work and worry if
they don’t. At the end of the day, you want to be able to say you are a
good mom. It’s easy to say if your child is successful, but what if they aren’t.
Good mothering doesn’t guarantee
success. There are proven parenting methods, but it's still an art
form. You’re a sculptor. Your child is the medium, but you
aren’t the only one chipping away at the marble.
Your responsibility is to do your best with what you know and
who you are.
It's true that when your child is ready
to go out into the world, their success or lack thereof will be attributed to
how they were raised.
Hopefully, your child will be
successful. Yet, it's important to separate their success from your
assessment of your efforts.
The good mom has given her time, love
and resources. The good mom has provided guidance, comfort, space for
independence, and a hearty kick in the pants. The good mom will love
their kid even if they aren’t successful.
No matter what, it's still your day. Happy
Mother’s Day!
