  Don't feel bad...We are bound to forget things. And it doesn't make us a bad mom when we forget, it just makes us human..I need to remind myself as well a I always feel bad when LO is just relaxing by himself, not fussy or anything and I feel like a bad mom for not reading to him or doing something with him since he is alert.

  I have to remind myself that LO does not need to be stimulated by me 24/7.

  Don't feel bad mistakes happen. We went to Sea World and I forgot to put a wetbag in DS's diaper bag to put the dirty cloth diapers in through out the day "doh" Sea World has a no plastic's policy so we couldn't bring in a plastic bag and ended up putting all his dirty dipes in a paper bag....it stunk so bad! LoL

  Babyruth, you are not a bad mom! These things happen to us all. Try not to be so hard on yourself. It all worked out in the end!

  I struggle with this too. I always feel guilty but I really need to get passed it. It's hard though.

  This bothers me as well.  I need to find a balance.

  You are not a bad mom!  These things happen.  There are so many things to remember nowadays.
