You know you\u2019re a good mom when, after battling an epic tantrum, you sneak into your closet and sob on the floor. Wondering if you\u2019re doing anything right. Worrying if you should\u2019ve handled the situation better. Questioning everything, your whole outlook on parenting. Which parenting style is the best? Do you deserve to be a mother when you yelled instead of used a calm voice? Gave into your child because you couldn\u2019t take the screaming one more second?<\/p>\n

In my opinion, the good Mom\u2019s are the one\u2019s that care the most. Question the most. Worry we\u2019re screwing up our kids. Because a bad mom wouldn\u2019t care at all.<\/p>\n

When you feel like you\u2019re doing everything wrong, take a look at your child. Are they happy? Healthy? Well fed?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so easy to pile on the Mommy guilt, and look at other Mom\u2019s and feel like they are perfect. But, talk to them. Get real. Ask. I bet they\u2019re having just as hard a time as you. Being a parent is hard. It\u2019s holy work. It can feel like a grind. It\u2019s exhausting, and overwhelming at times. But, also wonderful. Amazing. Exciting.<\/p>\n

Take a look into your child\u2019s eyes. See the world with their sense of wonder. Take a little time to ask them things and really listen to their response.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had a really rough week in the parenting department. A defiant and independent threenager. Little sleep. Lots of tantrums. Overwhelming and exhausting. But, after a good night of sleep (finally!) things seem a little easier. This little fella of mine is teaching his Momma patience. Teaching me to slow down. Teaching me to enjoy the little things. I\u2019m learning not to over schedule myself, to take the time to stop and play. Exactly what I needed to learn.<\/p>\n

When your little one is testing you, remember, this will be over. This longest day will end. I\u2019m not going to say you have to cherish each day, especially the hard ones. But, I promise,\u00a0they\u2019ll be over too soon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hang in there Good Mom. You\u2019re doing your best. You are enough. You are the most amazing person in the world to your little one. Believe me. Even after this tantrum filled weekend, when I thought my child hated me- he woke up in the middle of the night and asked for Mommy. He just wanted a cuddle. They need you. They love you. Don\u2019t be too hard on yourself, Mom. You are awesome!<\/p>\n
