You'll have to discuss the concept of a "good enough" mother with Minna sometime. It's not an excuse to be a slacker as a parent, but it helped me to be OK with being "good enough" and letting some over-idealized expectations go.
Oh...and realizing that, sometimes...other parents lie. Sometimes little Sarah Ann really isn't a rocket scientist, Mother Teresa reincarnated and a musical prodigy all rolled into one. Sometimes...Sarah Ann is just a kid with a really proud Mommy, grin. Caring makes you a good mommy...obesessing...well that just makes you tired, hahahah
