I learned something interesting once (and...Love it! I learned something interesting once (and only once.) I read a rather gritty autobiography of this girl who had been neglected and abused. But through the worst of it she loved her mommy and she needed and wanted her mommy. I'm not saying either way that she should or shouldn't have had a shot in foster care. But what that tells me that on a very core level kids need and love their mommies--even when they are a bad mommy. <BR/><BR/>Bottom line: we are almost always the best our kids are going to get--even when we are not at our best. And for most kids that's OK. That's life.<BR/><BR/>Good mommies love their kids. (Even when they don't particularly like them.) And somehow those good mommies learn to deal with all those conflicted feelings sorting themselves out in their hearts and minds and it's all a part of the mommy package.

I know that you are a great mommy, and I want to know what you do that is different than what I do. And I want to know what makes you feel inadequate, and I want to know what you see as hypocrisy, and what you see as divisive. I want reassurance that you can be different than everyone else, and still be a good mommy.
