What makes a good mother, anyway? Is it the amount of time that she spends with her child? Does it relate to the disciplinary measures she uses? I guess my opinion of what a mother should be is based upon my mother. She is a good mother. I watch her interact with my daughter and wonder how I can be like her.
When I was growing up, my mom always had a good breakfast for our family. We always had clean clothes, our house was always neat. This boggles my mind, because my mother was working full-time for a ministry at that time. How she managed to maintain everything is beyond me.
Now, I am in the same position. We work for a ministry; I have taken on a part-time job, and am attempting to finish a semester in college. My poor baby is getting the "shaft" to put it loosely. I don't want her to feel that I don't love her or want to spend any time with her. I'm up early this morning trying to do some things that I would normally do during the day, so that I can spend some time with her later today.
I just feel like I'm a failure sometimes.
