I qouldnt care at all if someone commented on my cooking or decorating..whatever. But a bad mom? that stings. Our kids dont need to hear that. we dont need to hear that.<br /><br />I am a new follower:)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15723750357398720115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345635846849605714.post-47540453869049397772012-01-09T21:28:40.289-05:002012-01-09T21:28:40.289-05:00oh have i been there! especially since having a g...oh have i been there! especially since having a girl have i thought more about my words. specifically words about myself. and then when i began hearing my veryownwords coming out of the mouth of my boy...whew! talk about a life lesson. thanks for the reminder that we all mess up. it is by God's saving grace that we are made new.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12391495091801935424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345635846849605714.post-466534471427789732012-01-09T17:28:01.351-05:002012-01-09T17:28:01.351-05:00So true!

But, it's also something I allowed myself to be labelled (even in my own words, occasionally). I have two boys but have often said things sarcastically that I wish I could take back. I have beaten myself up for the things I have done that I couldn't undo. <br />Thanks for the reminder that, despite it all, I am a good mom.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388985133955299308noreply@blogger.com
