How can I tell if I am being a good mother?

A lot of mothers doubt themselves on their decisions and then worry if they are being good mothers. For example, working mothers may feel they are "bad" mothers for not being around to take care of their child during working hours. SAHMs may feel like they are "bad" mothers for cooking a meal their child refuses to eat, or when disciplining their child. It would probably be a question which you will ask yourself many times over. For me, if my child grows up to be a confident individual who contributes to society whilst being empathetic to the people around her, I would count myself as having done my part as a mother.
