Am I a good mother for going to Build-A-Bear Workshop with a 5 year old and an 18 month old baby? Am I a good mother for standing in a 1.5 hour line? Am I a good mother for not murdering "Jerry" the Build-A-Bear Workshop employee who kept poking my baby whilst in said line.
It's amazing what guilt can do to a girl.
I always thought I would be a nutritionist/pacifist/healthy kind of mom, when in reality I am a Mcdonald's going/SUV driving/soon to be soccer mom. I left with both kids (only one screaming) two new bears built with "love" and I didn't even yell. That is the best I can do - so yes I'm a good mother.
For further shock, I finally put Lily's pictures of her first year in a photo album. Here in Utah, that's called scrapbooking. It's true. You may not recognize me - I am the fat, scrapbooking mom who is pushing two kids through the mall frantically looking for presents at Hot Topic.

You are a good mom! Who else but a good mom would take both kids to two birthday parties in one weekend. I'm going to restrict Zoe to have only one friend. And that one friend will have to not allow birthday presents. You know how bad I am with presents.
Here's a link to another good mom:

What is "hot topic"?
It's a perfect example of bad motherhood. I actually saw a punk rocker with a red mowhawk. It is a store full of punk rock t-shirts, underwear and pins with anarchy on them.
You know you're a good mother because you wonder if you are. Bad mothers don't wonder, they blow cigarette smoke into their kids' faces and let their children run out into the street. We would never do that. Why? Because we are good mothers!
