I am a good mum

Today me and Kory played lots of games together and read lots of books.

I am a good mum.

Today me and Kory did nothing but watch tv all day.

I am still a good mum.

Today Kory ate only homemade healthy foods and fruit all day.

I am a good mum.

Today Kory ate pre made baby food from a jar and some crisps and chocolate.

I am still a good mum.

Today I took Kory to play group.

I am a good mum.

Today I didn’t take Kory to play group. We stayed home in our pyjamas all day.

I am still a good mum.

Today when Kory wouldn’t stop crying, I didn’t lose my patience.

I am a good mum.

Today when Kory wouldn’t stop crying I could feel myself getting annoyed.

I am still a good mum.

There is no right or wrong way to parent, some days are harder than others and we can only do what we feel capable of. Some days I have more energy and patience and others I feel like I simply can’t be bothered and am more short baited than usual. That doesn’t mean that i’m not a good mum or that I musn’t love my son. It just makes me human.

All that matters is that your baby is taken care of, happy and healthy and that you are too, mama.

I am a good mum and you are too.
