O...I absolutely KNOW you are an incredible mother. <BR/><BR/>Oh Deb, this is an awful experience I had with my son Connor. When he was a newborn, I brought him home. About a week later it was time for his first bath. I was a new mom and didn't know he would be slippery. I had him in a little baby tub and I picked him up to get his back and I dropped him. It was only a couple of inches - but oh I cried! I have felt horrible about this all these years. Even now I feel like crying and have highlighted my comment to delete it about 3 times now. We live and learn, right? I suppose we all have regrets. Great post, as usual. You are wondeful.Redhoodooshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18166935111744243313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645259015777233054.post-22213393872200945002008-11-01T16:04:00.000-07:002008-11-01T16:04:00.000-07:00Don't be too hard on yourself Debbie, I know you a...Don't be too hard on yourself Debbie, I know you are and were an amazing mother and would have walked over hot coals for your kids. Look at the name of your Blog! You did it right. Don't ever doubt that. I can think of a few funny moments when my kids were little having to do with food they wouldn't eat and stuff like that. At the time it was serious but now it's funny. And as mothers we need to forgive ourselves and remember we did the best we could at the time. Now that we are older and wiser we're different people. The hot sauce thing doesn't work anyway they just learn to love hot food! hahahaAdele Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00855865200330675286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645259015777233054.post-76193367545640230512008-11-01T15:14:00.000-07:002008-11-01T15:14:00.000-07:00thank you for the scripture references! i always l...thank you for the scripture references! i always love your posts!!!!!! seriously!!!!<BR/><BR/>and <BR/><BR/>that is NOT too bad....you were sorry and you had good intentions. and now you two can laugh about it together. sounds to me like you have been a WONDERFUL mom!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645259015777233054.post-20916301612264363292008-11-01T07:48:00.000-07:002008-11-01T07:48:00.000-07:00i've raised a few kids and continue raising some m...i've raised a few kids and continue raising some more....so yes i have my fair share of worst mommy moments....<BR/>always trying to do better.<BR/>i loved this post the insight and the scripture to go with it.<BR/>what i loved most about your moment was that after all these years you two could kinda joke about it--a little inside joke between the 2 of you...that's what we should all do...mess up, repent, forgive, do better and then don't take ourselves too seriously.Pedalinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13994292348608214093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645259015777233054.post-11732412304302411802008-11-01T06:59:00.000-07:002008-11-01T06:59:00.000-07:00Thank you for the comment and I do enjoy reading y...Thank you for the comment and I do enjoy reading your blog. Love the scripture quotes and your insights. I don't have a worst mommy moment, yet, but I am very grateful that Heavenly Father didn't expect us to be perfect and that because of that he provided Christ and the Atonement and many chances for us to mess up and keep trying.Myndiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11967436578749899254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645259015777233054.post-6969040805701801312008-11-01T01:45:00.000-07:002008-11-01T01:45:00.000-07:00This is a great post.

I often feel like I should have been better about all the things we are counseled to do with our children. You know the things that it seems everyone else seems to have no problem incorporating into their busy schedules. Family Prayer, Family Scripture time, Fasting as a Family, Family Home Evening, Family Council. Sometimes I wonder does it count if we tried? Is it enough that we made the attempt? Does it matter that I really wanted to do all of these things. Being consistant with all of these things was a constant struggle. Would I do anything different? Yes, I would have tried harder, I would have perservered. I would have been more dilegent. I would have fought harder. <BR/><BR/>When I first read your question I wasn't going to comment because what sense is it to dwell on past mistakes. Now that I see what I wrote I guess I have alot of regrets. However, in many ways I know I was a great mom and I will be an ever better Nana. That is the best we can do. Just do better with what we know.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01147410397562366167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645259015777233054.post-66134178285942796762008-10-31T20:43:00.000-07:002008-10-31T20:43:00.000-07:00One Sunday morning I was blogging before I got rea...One Sunday morning I was blogging before I got ready for Church. The kids were being loud and detsructive and annoying, and Husband was sleeping in. They started hitting and chasing one another. Big brother had taken Little one's blanket. I took the blanket and frustratedly snapped it in the air, yelling at him to be nice. A fringe of the blanket hit Big brother. It hurt him. <BR/><BR/>My lowest of lows.sleepless in cyberspacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10679132566879414933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645259015777233054.post-52901573431463407112008-10-31T18:20:00.000-07:002008-10-31T18:20:00.000-07:00Love this post because it's true.

What made them a Zion people wasn't their lack of mistakes, but how they dealt with them. I think you and your son are example of how you deal with your mistakes in a Zion-like way.<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>CindyCindy Garber Iversonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543940998038589239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645259015777233054.post-2520210237667914242008-10-31T13:09:00.000-07:002008-10-31T13:09:00.000-07:00Great insight and scripture.

I bet it did eat on you but at least you guys joke about it now. <BR/><BR/>I have criticized way to many times when they were little. I wish I would have just known how to be a better mother and look for the postitive more in those moments. We all have the wish I did it different. But then that is why we learn as mothers and that is why our kids have to rise above what they have endured right. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for TREATING me today.

Or Jason, hey never play hide and see near mirrors, that way you wont slash your arm to the bone! <BR/><BR/>Deb you really ARE one of the greatest moms I know!
