I've made the same kind of mistakes. Letting my toddler play too close to the edge of the bed (yup, he rolled off). As hard as we try, we're only human. We do the best we can, making mistakes along the way, and pray that we don't mess up too bad. .-= Allison´s last blog ..10 Ways to Get Fit After the Holidays =-.

You’re right, we’re a powerful tribe. And do you know any group that will eat each other up the way we do? It’s almost like we’re waiting for each other to fail so that we can say, “SEE! I’m not as bad as you!!!” How is that helpful? Supportive? Encouraging? Your post was so right on.

I can so relate to this. I know with my first I did so many mistakes (didn't give him water for his 1st yr- no one told me I should!, dropped him from a shopping cart- no seatbelt!, he stopped breathing on me- I didn't know babies aren't supposed to snore and he had pnemonia!, and so many other Ah Ha moments!) its only by God's intervention he made it. There were so many things I did not know and I had no one to guide me at the time. He's grown into a wonderful teen, and I know deep in my heart that its because we have HIM in our lives and not because of anything that I ever did. Its a wonderful feeling to know that He was always there, just like He is with you! .-= Ms. Latina´s last blog ..The Spy Next Door Movie Giveaway =-.

I can sooo relate to this! I have made more than one foolish decision during my 12 years of being a Mom, thanks for the post, and I'm glad your little guy was okay! .-= Liz´s last blog ..Yet More Winners! =-.

Makes me a bit panicky to read about these – SO glad the outcome was good today!!! And definitely a great reminder that they are ultimately His children, not mine.

loved this. blogged about this “mommy guilt” phenomenon when my 1 1/2-year-old scaled the side of his crib, fell over the other side and broke..his..arm.

awesome. we all have our “awesome” mommy moments, don’t we? thanks for the reminder that we are human too.

How timely- yesterday my son who has been home with us just a month ran out into the street while I was keeping an eye on him from a distance. He ignored my voice calling him and telling him to stop. Another mom closer pulled him back to safety. (Moms helping moms!) Thankfully this happened at church where there are nearly more kids than adults so drivers are on the look out, but it could have been SO MUCH WORSE. .-= Jeannette´s last blog ..Yet another first =-.

Girl, my heart goes out to you. You are so right, they are not ours but we are allowed to raise them and ultimately, He is the only perfect parent. I’ve made so many mistakes just like the ones you mentioned and I *still* beat myself up for them even though (THANK GOD!) everything turned out fine. I’m so glad Silas is fine and I hope you are!
