I would say being a good mom is something that is important to every mother. I remember when I was pregnant with my daughter I would get overwhelmed thinking about things that I wanted and thought I needed to do to be a good mom.
Being a good mom is something that is extremely important to me. I am now a mom of a teenager and everything has now changed. Not only am I worried about her brushing her teeth and doing well in school, but I worry about her being able to talk to me, I worry about her hanging out with the wrong people, and I am really worried about her getting her drivers license. There are so many things in our world that can steer a child the wrong way and lead them down a devastating path. This is the last thing I want for my daughter.
Communication is very important when you are a mom of a teenage girl. The last thing I want is for her to feel as if she cannot talk to me. I want to hear about her first kiss and the fights she is having with her friends. I feel that her being able to talk to me about uncomfortable topics is good. If she doesn't talk to me about sex and drugs; then she is going to talk to someone else about it. This is what I don't want.
Having a good relationship with my children is something that is very, very important to me. I want my children to know that they can count on me to be their for them to talk to and not be judged. They also need to know though, that they will not always like what I have to say in response, but that is what a parent is about.
