Are you a good mother?

Good enough, I hope. I made plenty of mistakes when mine were little, and felt guilty about it. Last week, my eldest son commented that he can't really remember being younger than seven, but he can tell how he was treated by the way I treat my baby grandson. Phew...swerved that one, then!

I was a good mom.Im very proud of how my son turned out. I'm not a grandma but want to be. I wasn't one of those huggy,sit in my lap and let me sing you to sleep type moms. I was young.It was all business and do it by the book behavior from me.Luckily he was well behaved and a easy child. always wanted to please me. Hope to get to rock and cuddle with a grandchild!

Possibly tried too hard.

I wish, but I tried!

I thought I was the best mother ever when my DD1 was born and just did everything by the book, only waking to feed and be adorable even in hospital and going on to be the sweetest natured, easiest to care for Mabel Lucie Atwell baby ever.

I got my come-uppance when DD2 arrived, screamed and threw up non-stop from day 1, and generally behaved like something from The Omen for a full 6 months. She was banished on her first night from the hospital nursery because she was waking the other babies - I followed the horrendous din and found her bawling in her little crib in the staff kitchen.

All 3 of mine have turned out well though, and don't cross the road to avoid me, so I would guess I'm good enough!

I'm a good mother and a very good grandmother. I don't think I could have done any more than I've done.

I think I'm a good mother now. And an excellent grandmother.

I tried so hard.
