Just a short reply to the posts...I really don't spend much time feeling guilty. I think most guilt makes you a worse parent than a better one. But guilt also serves a purpose, without guilt we wouldn't have a conscience. I often think I don't feel as guilty as a should lol. Anyway, it is always good to look back on your past and say, "I did the best I could and it wasn't that bad." But I strongly believe in improving myself. I think the thing for me is that, while reading this book, I noticed a problem with myself and I want to change it. There really is nothing wrong with that. I don't want to do things to my kids that I know aren't what I believe (like yell at them frequently or stunt their emotional growth) then look back and say I did good enough. I am more than a "good enough" parent, more than a "good enough" person.--read more
