You Are A Good Mom

May 22, 2013 By Emily 37 Comments

Has anyone told you today you are a good mom?

Guess what?

You are a good mom.

I’m not sure who wrote this – if you know please comment below.**

It is so true.  Moms, no matter how you do it, have the best job in the whole world.  Love is love it shows through a child’s smile.  Many of my best mommy friends parent differently from me, and I learn so much from them.  My own mother parented differently than I do, and I love her and the example she set for me.

I will be the first to admit, I have been guilty of judging a parent before. Especially before I had kids of my own. The longer I am a mom myself the more I learn grace for the tough days.  The choices that work for me may not be the choices of others, but that is okay as long as the children are loved.

 

"good mom" "Mommy wars" "Breastfeeding vs formula" "parenting" "pregnancy" "Motherhood"

Let’s pass on the love.  Tell one of your mom friends today how much you admire them and that they are a good mom.

**UPDATE The author of the text in the picture below reached out to me to let me know it was hers. She is Samantha Horn and writes a blog called Mommy Molecules and Parenting Particles.  You can find her original post and many other wonderful posts there.**

    Wow! I have never seen that before. We just had an 11 year old boy commit suicide in our community and there have been rumors about his mom recently. I didn’t know them, but one of my friends said it best. She did the best she could. Thanks for posting this.

    Probably because of the situation, I get told that quite often… but I assure you I am far from perfect. Mom’s of typical kids in 2 parent households should hear it more often. They work just as hard.

    Aww thanks for posting this – I was feeling a little bad today because we left our daughter with friends for a week when we left today to go house hunting in a different state. Even though she’s 17 I still didn’t like leaving her behind even though she was fine with it.
