The words "well, if you were a better mother?" Stick me like a knife. My wound heals quickly as I gather my thoughts... "well what if YOU were a better father?" The balls on this man. You really want to go there?

I am not by any means a perfect mother. However, I can tell you everything that I am, as a mother. I am STRONG, I am LOVING, I am COMPASSIONATE, I am there for every cut, every bruise, every ache, every pain. Through all the sniffling, sneezing, runny noses, fevers, and asthma attacks. I am the one that is there, usually the only one.

Trying to break me down by telling me that I should be a better mother, has no reflection on me, but yourself. I am the best I can be, for them.... these beautiful little girls give me a confidence like no other. For them, I will do anything and I can do everything.

For years I never understood when my mom would say that she was a single mom, that raised us on her own. Mom, I understand now, completely. My dad was there, or so I thought. Yeah, he was there but not like Mom. My mom was there for EVERYTHING.

I have had enough of people trying to make me feel less of a mother. I am a GREAT mother, and my girls, they'll one day be great mothers too. I'm just going to throw a few statements out there... I'm curious to know how you would react.

"You're setting her up for failure!" For not applying to a charter school that is outside of the county I live in.

"You're mentally abusive." For yelling at my child who wouldn't let me put sunblock on her, while on the beach.

The best one "You treat Ava better than Aubrey. Your treat Aubrey like cinderella!" I help out raising my niece & to be completely honest... I feel like I treat Aubrey better. So where this is coming from... I don't know.

All from someone who shouldn't be throwing stones at my glass house.

Mom's - if you have a loving supportive partner, no matter what, feel blessed.
Mom's- keep doing the best you can.
Mom's - don't take any shit and stand up for what you believe.
