[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just say I did the best i could with the knowledge and resources that i had. And secretly think: just wait until YOU become a parent![/quote]

I’m a parent now and that answer is garbage.

We all sometimes don’t do our best. Sometimes I make scrambled eggs and toast instead of vegetables— I have the resources and I did something else. We hope that we are able to do our best when it really matters but we don’t actually know, and so we need to be ready to take responsibility and not make weak excuses.

Claiming you always did your best is just a lie. [/quote]

The resources are not just having the vegetables. Having the energy to put that meal together is also a resource. If you don’t have the energy, scrambled eggs is the best you can do.

Scrambled eggs isn’t the best you can do— scrambled eggs is what you chose.  Maybe you chose to use that energy to read books to your kid and maybe you chose to use it sitting in front of the television but own your choices. Even if you were tired you were capable of cooking a vegetable. [/quote]

So you intentionally deprived your children of a good mother. Shame on you![/quote]
