Am I a good mother???

Sleeping like an angel in Momy's heart

Have you ever wondered if you are a good or a bad mother? this questions must be raised by 99.9% of the mothers around the globe, and the fact that you popped the question means that you are a good mother because you care :).

I was trying to figure out if I am a good mother and started asking myself the following questions:

- What is the most important thing in my life?

- With who I'd like to spend my spare time? 

- What is the best memory of my life? 

- How much time do I spend with my kid?

- Do I cook my kids favorite dish? 

- Do I spend my weekends with my kids or I do programs on my own? 

- Do I criticize my kid or get angry when they keep asking questions?

- Do I get angry and upset when my kid mess the house, or I just ask him nicely to help me clean it?

- My kid still sleeps with me in my bed, does this make me a good or a bad mother? 

- Did I chose the right school for my kids?

- Did I chose a good pediatrician?

- Am I teaching them good manners?

- When I plan a trip or an activity for my kids, I do it out of duty or I enjoy being with them?

Breakfast with my son

Many questions pop into my head every day, and when I look at the answer I find myself a dedicated and loving mother to an extra ordinary child, well this is not new, every one of you would think the same.

In the busy schedule of our daily life, and the hard economic situation, sometimes we find ourselves overworked, and stressed out by our survival need to work a full time job instead of spending more time with our kids, it is up to us to find those tiny moments of peace and serenity and make our kids feel our presence without stress, it is not their fault to be brought into this world, and it is our responsibility to make them live their childhood to the fullest.

Family is the most important thing in the world

The inner conflict about motherhood is a very normal feeling, especially Mothers in the Middle East region, who bare almost a full responsibility of raising their kids, but we are lucky to be born and raised here, in a society where we still have great family values and bonds, and it is supportive enough to make us feel secure and surrounded. Be close to your family it is a very great support, your kids will always feel secure and loved when they have a loving surrounding family. I would give a special thanks to my loving family especially my special mother who keep giving and never ask for anything is return, like a candle who melt to lighten the way to others.

Good luck to all the mothers who are doing their best to bring to the society well raised children.
