Not such a bad momma

Today I have been looking through those mother hood websites and found an article that was horrifying. 

We all have “days like those.” You know – the kind of day where all you want to do is plug your child into a “Barney” marathon while you hide in the closet with a pint of Ben & Jerry’s or maybe a chocolate martini. Or maybe your bad day involves being so completely distracted that junior winds up at preschool wearing two different shoes. Or, perhaps you’re wracked with guilt on the days when every meal you feed your child involves some form of Pillsbury pastry product. (What? No one else does that?)
 
Whatever “bad mama mojo” triggers your guilty conscience, I have a cure. The next time you start beating yourself up over a trip to McDonald’s or 2.5 hours of television instead of only 2, consider the story of Kelly Marie Pocock of Wales.
 
Pocock was convicted of “cruelty to a child under the age of 16” for allowing her 3 year-old to smoke while she talked on the phone. An acquaintance filmed the incident with her camera phone and turned the footage in to the authorities. Apparently, the child had been seen smoking with some level of expertise on several other occasions – not only inhaling properly, but also lighting his own cigarettes.
 
So, seriously, I don’t think you need to feel bad about a few French fries or an extra episode of Caillou."

Not that I want to compare myself to this lady buy I suppose there will always be better mothers than me but also worse mothers. So I can only do my best and try my hardest even tho' it often doesn't feel like its enough.
