[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I regret some of the way we parented when the kids were small. Some days it really wears on me, other days, not so much. I told my kids that I felt I could've been a better mom, and they were so understanding. They said I did good, and the negative stuff I constantly think about they don't even remember. I contemplated not having any kids because I did not think I could be a good parent, but they seem to be pretty great people, despite my sometimes failures. I think some of us parents are too hard on ourselves, but I cannot help but regret some things. I tell my kids parenting is so hard, that parents are human, and at times, we have no idea what we are doing. I'm pretty honest with them about my failures, and when I do fail, I apologize to them. They are now almost 16 and 19, and I'm really proud of them.[/quote]
