I think I may have failed at a lot of things, but the one thing I can say, and that I'm proud of, is that I am a good parent.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think I had really good parents. I got really lucky. They said, 'You're a woman; enjoy yourself and believe that you can do things.'
Proving I'm a good mother is the one achievement I'm most proud of. It's brought out the best in me.
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.
Sometimes, because of my success, I am afraid that I was not a good father. With the first two I was too strong, and with the other three I was too weak.
I don't want to look back and say, 'Yeah, I was really successful, but I failed at fatherhood because I wasn't there.'
The only thing that I can do is know that I have great confidence in raising children and being a great mother.
My greatest sense of accomplishment has come from having two amazing sons, but it's also a paradox in that the times when I felt like the biggest failure have been times when I felt like, as a parent, I wasn't making the right decisions or succeeding in the way that I should.
I'm a really good parent to myself sometimes, and I do things that make me learn and grow.
As a mother, I'm constantly feeling like a failure.
I married an excellent parent, but I'm not sure that I've made a great parent.
