I am taking part in Blogtober16 and will be writing posts with various themes/prompts throughout October....
When I was in hospital waiting to go for my c-section with Becky I can remember crying on the shoulder of a midwife saying what if I am a rubbish mother, what if my baby doesn't like me, I don't know how to be a mother.....I really needn't have worried....It turns out I am quite good at this mothering lark...
Without a doubt being a good mother is my greatest accomplishment....I know it's so cliche but it's true.
I am far from a perfect mother....I shout when I know I shouldn't....I am sometimes short tempered, I feed my girls junk food, I let them play on the computer for too long and I over spoil them....
I think I am doing a good job though....My girls are kind, thoughtful, pretty sensible, happy, polite and do well at school....They make me so proud every day....
I have taught both my girls to cook....Just simple meals. Beans on toast, scrambled eggs, toasties and things so I know they have the basics to keep them selves alive....
The both like a variety of music. 70's, 80's, 90's 00's. Rock, pop, classical, musicals and country.....I have taught them well....hehehe I love it when they sing a long to a random old song....
My girls know they can come to me and talk to me about anything....Some of the discussions we have are deep and also things I would never dare talk to my mother about....I am so glad they feel confident enough to talk to me!
Good morning Kim, I love this. I love the way you acknowledge that you are a good Mum and that you are also human. I am sure you have accomplished other things too ( meal planning is a major accomplishment in my eyes!), but if being a good Mum is the only thing any of us accomplish in life, there can't be much to top that.

That's not a bad accomplishment, bringing up children and being a good Mum, well done. #Blogtober16
