Okay, for the most part and for that matter for most days I know I’m a good mom! Of course there are days when I doubt myself which today was one of them. Saying that me being me, I had to learn about myself and of course write about it.

How do you know your a good parent?

1. I think the first indication would be you read this post! Meaning if your questioning yourself, then your a good parent.

2. Do you spend quality time with your kids? If this is hard to do, at least develop a nightly ritual so all is forgiven each day!

3. Do you make sure your kids have food, clothes, enough sleep? We do not really think about that stuff but it is basic survival.

4. Do you drop or cancel your own thing for the sake of your child?

5. Do you put your child’s needs before your own?

These are just some of the ways you can tell your a good parent, but really if you do anything and everything for your child you will still doubt from time to time. Parenting is the most selfless job out there.

The way I handed to today is I texted a friend and asked her to remind me I was a good mom. Of course by the time she got back to me which was only 30 minutes later the feeling had past. What it boils down to me that if you question, your a great parent.

You of course can try my trick but also want to know your tricks on how you remind yourself your a great parent!
