Mothers day is one of the times that you can reflect on how you are doing as a mother and try to assess if your children are the people that you would like them to be. The things is that your child's nature is set by the time that they are 6 so all you can do for the rest of your life is attempt to not cause them too much embarrassment and certainly no pain. What you need to worry about is all the other influences once your children have grown up, the things they see and do often are not what you would have liked for them. If you take a horrid and harsh look at yourself, I am sure you would be able to spot all the things that were not perfect in your children's lives and how in all honesty you didn't stop them. Then there are time when the words out of your mouth were not just pure love and support but were flecked with nastiness that your poor children then had to deal with.
My feeling is that as long as you do not abandon your children and attempt to raise them so that they are decent human beings it is good enough. Each person has their own journey so the only thing you can do as a parent is to attempt to send your child out into the world with a solid foundation.
If you are being all deep then just think, your children actually chose you to be in their life experience, just as you chose your parents to be in yours.
Namaste
