The Mommy-hood

My biggest fear is failing as a mother or having a failed marriage. I also feel that if I fail at my marriage, I have in a way, failed my children. Our children learn how to love and how a marriage is supposed to work from watching us. This is something that I try to be very mindful of at all times. My main goal as a mother, is to make sure my children never feel like they are less, that they have failed me, or that their goals and dreams are not up to my standards. I want my children to feel that they are the brightest stars in my sky. I never want them to be scared to talk to me, about anything. I want them to know they can talk to me about anything without worrying what I will think of them. I want them to want to come to me, not fear it. I want them to know they can depend on me, not wonder. I want to be their friend, but I can accept them hating me at times. I know that there will be times that they despise me, but that means I'm doing my job, right?
