I'm not a bad parent and partner, even if I make a thousand mistakes.

Though I made my share of mistakes, as all parents do, I was devoted to my kids. I walked them to school every morning and walked back to pick them up at 3.

You know, parenting is so personal. And we're all afraid that we didn't quite get it right. And it feels like the stakes are so high. By we - what if we made a mistake?

I learned a lot from my Mom. My favorite lesson: remember there is no such thing as a certain way to parent and to remember that you are learning along with your child - it's ok to make mistakes.

I wish I could prevent my kids from making all the mistakes I've made. But I can't do that. No parent can.

Like everyone else, I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. The only way I know how to handle them is to learn from them and move forward.

I love to talk to children about making mistakes. It's important that I tell them about how I don't get it right the first time. We live in such a perfectionist society, and they see so many finished products and polished performances.

I was able to be more reckless and now I still make mistakes, but having kids, you have a responsibility and these little people who are looking up to you for everything.

Telling lies and showing off to get attention are mistakes I made that I don't want my kids to make.

I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. And I'm really sensitive, so I take even small mistakes as huge ones.
