[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ha, we just watched an episode of the Middle last night where the mom was asking all her kids if they would do anything differently when they were parents. I told mine - don't tell me your answers until you have kids! Because parenthood/adulthood can be a little harder than it looks.

But my mom and I reflect on this sometimes. She has some regrets as a mom, just like I do so far, and there are some things she did that I promised never to do when I had kids. But she always supported me, was proud of me, supported my interests, and loved me for who I was (she always had this dream of becoming this popular, trendy person with all the "right" things, and I have never been a popular, trendy person who cared about stuff). She is well aware of things I wish she would have changed, but she is also well aware that I think she was and still is a great mom and there is no one else I would have traded her for. Being a "great" mom doesn't mean being perfect - there's really no such thing anyway. [/quote]

This seems very healthy. [/quote]
