What are your greatest strengths and greatest weaknesses as a parent?

I see myself as a very independent, tolerant and adaptable person and I think that this will translate well into being a parent. Having lived away in another continent without my immediate family support has made me a stronger person and I know this will count towards being a mother. That being said, my independence and strength are my weaknesses too. I'm so used to being on my own, I forget that I can ask for help, that I have loved ones who will do anything for me. When I become a parent, asking for help from loved ones should be second nature and there isn't any shame in it -- which is something I should remember.
