Parenting on Female First
1. You tell your child you love them at least once a day
2. Your child goes to bed in one piece and happy3. Questioning or worrying about being a good enough mum means you already are one
4. Not worrying that your child is covered in mud, food or paint because they are having fun
5. When you accept that winging it is as a parent is ok. Because who wants to be perfect?
6. Knowing that self-care isn't selfish. Even if it's just finding time for a soak in the bath or getting your nails done
7. When you've managed to make the time to read to them at night
8. Accepting that a living room full of toys is okay, who needs a tidy house anyway?
9. When you spot a child having a public tantrum and rather than judging, you give the mum an 'I'm here for you sister' look
10. You realise it's okay to put them in front of the TV at times, so you can get a bit of peace and quiet / chores done
