How many times have you doubted yourself as a mom?
I have been filled with doubt so many times in these past ten years that I can’t even remember all the insecurities I faced. From the many parenting books I read to the many websites and parenting blogs I read, the many parents and mothers I spoke to and interacted with, the mommy friends, the relatives, neighbors, strangers, family members, and so many more people - almost everyone seemed to be so good at raising their children.
It seemed that all other moms were able to balance their life perfectly. The children were well-mannered and always dressed properly, the food was always warm and homemade and ready on time and healthy, the house was so clean and everything was in place, all toys and books and clothes and things in place, no drawings on the walls, no food stains everywhere.
And what about me? Was I being a good mom?
I was always tired and wondering if what I was doing was right. Was it alright if my baby cried and I took a little more time to get the food prepared?
Was it alright if I made my baby sleep in a diaper while everyone said a cloth nappy was a better choice? Was it okay if I missed the polio drop and waited for the lady to come home and give it sometimes?

Did I do the right thing by giving my children instant noodles one day for lunch because I was feeling too tired to cook?
Had I done right to leave them with the help and head out for the meeting? Was it okay if I shouted at them angrily when I could not take the fighting anymore?
Was it all okay? Was it alright? Would my children still grow up nice and good and would they still love me?
