I think I can say pretty confidently that the majority of us wonder, or question, at times, whether or not we are a good mom. I certainly do. I have been pondering this topic for a couple of days now. I ask myself, what does it mean to be a good mom? What would my children say? How can I be the kind of mom they will look up to?
I am wondering what you think. What do you think makes a good mom?

I don't know what it takes to be a good mom, but I do wonder all the time if I am being everything for my kids that they need me to be.
i think you are a good mom if you spend honest quality time with each child. I think being a good mom is about making an effort to have those you live with feel comfortable to be with you, and in your home.
I think time is the most important thing you can give your kids. That's all they really want from you really. My mom had to work when I was younger so I didn't get that time. It's something that I want to give to my kids.
Mommy guilt is universal. Every mom feels it. I wish I knew all the answers, but I don't have them. I feel like a good mom on days when I get the house clean, laundry done, play with the kids individually,feed them marvelous and healthy food, have scripture study, FHE, prayer and help them do their chores & homework. HAAA! That is about never. I think we just have to take one day at a time. Ask yourself, what did I do well today? what will I not do tomorrow? And of course, I take a quote from the Beatles. "All you need is Love" not perfection right? we just have to go into it knowing we are going to do a lot of things right and a lot of things wrong. That is what we are here for.
I'm pretty sure being a good mom has something to do with how many piggy back rides I give. That's likely Brianna's definition, anyway.
