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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have made so many mistakes as a mother. But the one thing that I know I do is I make sure my children know how much I love them and they are absolutely secure in that.
Once I started to grow up, I realised that my parents are normal people and they can make mistakes.
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.
I take all of my life lessons, which some people might call 'mistakes,' and apply them to my future so that I keep growing.
I was so determined not to pass on to my children what I perceived to be the faults of my upbringing.
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 was a good kid. My parents laid rules out for me, and I followed them.
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.
I have spent a lifetime watching kids make mistakes because they were not trained or well led or properly motivated to do well. I never faulted the kids; rather, I saw opportunity to train, to motivate, to improve leadership - not to punish the individual.
I'm still a big kid - I make mistakes all time.
