I can't count the times over the years that I felt like I failed my boys. I was always working long hours for little pay, very little sleep. I even stole food to feed them for about 2 years. But now they are grown and have wives and kids of their own and they have told me more than I few times what a great Mom I was.

I learned too late that kids see things differently than we do. All they want is warm hugs and for you to just be there as much as possible.

Be kinder to yourself. I bet your little one thinks you are a great Mom too.
