I
read an article about how Maggie Gyllenhaal stopped judging other moms
once she became a mom herself, and I got to say that I can really relate
to that. I'm ashamed to admit that I used to do the same thing, in my
head I would always think about how some parents didn't do a good job
and I would think of how I would do it differently("better")...... then I
had kids and my whole perspective about parenting changed. I was
reminded that we can't judge people, we don't know what 's going on in
their lives, we don't know what circumstances let them to be or do or
act a certain way. I am slowly learning to leave the judging to the only
one who is really aloud to do that. To God. Being a parent is hard and
there is no perfect way of doing it. We all have our "I'm an awesome
mommy" days and our "I wish I could start today all over again" days.
That's just the way it is. I love my little ones and I know that with
love and patients I can be a better mommy everyday.
