Do I know what I'm doing as a Mom?

Everybody knows how to raise children except for the ones who actually have them. This is so true because everyone has a word of advice to a new mom, except maybe another new mom herself who must be equally struggling with the little bub of hers to actually care about yours! The only empathy I found was from another fellow mom who was struggling just like me. The rest of the world are so high on their ability to judge and hurt moms like me with their opinions or so called suggestions. All I ask is for a little care, without the judgy part definitely. I can manage all my responsibilities on my own and I don't need your help in that department. I would rather have a sympathetic listening ear, a shoulder to cry on and a tight hug when things seem to be going downhill. Everyone has their experiences from parenting their own not so perfect child and yet when they look at your parenting style they just seem to act as if they have created the world's finest human being, so flawless and so perfect. Only when you live with them for a while do you realize how terrible of a parent they must have been to have raised such a baby! Yeah I'm talking about the biggest baby who is none other than my husband. I knew a mom who almost forgot to collect her daughter from her parents and in-laws who had come to see her off at the Railway Station. I wouldn't blame her for almost forgetting because taking care of two toddlers and six pieces of baggage was no easy task and if I was in that position you never know I might have forgotten to take both the toddlers with me! But nobody spared her, the poor soul was mocked at and insulted in front of so many relatives because she accidentally forgot. I really don't think that this mom would have required all this mockery and insult because she herself would have given a pep talk to herself to last her a lifetime. All she would have wanted was a bit of a compassion, a reassurance that it happens to all of us most times. To help her feel less guilty, to help her get over the shame of forgetting her kid. I am their mom, and I know when to give in to their tantrums and when to hold fast to my opinions. I dont need a constant critique trying to analyze my every move. I know that if they hurt their head I need to massage them, I will do it my way. There is no need of a third party to comment on where and how I should massage their head. This is where the concept of nuclear families seems so much more feasible than a joint family. I don't say I'm perfect. I don't say I am an over protective mother. I have my flaws, but no matter what I am their mom and why I have for them is and unconditional love. No matter what I do, it's with the best intentions for them at heart. There are times when I kiss my kids standing at the edge of the sofa without thinking much, and they fall. But that wouldn't make me a band mom would it? I don't need you free advice, I don't need you to constantly eat my brain telling me what to do and what not to do with my kids! I might be clueless but yes I have google to help me, I have my motherly instincts to guide me, no thank you for your help and advice.
