Perfect

What is socially acceptable for parents now a days?? I am a firm believer in the phrase "I am what I am".
I will be the first one to say I am not a perfect mother/wife/daughter . I do not see the point in pretending to be. Everything can not always be sunshine and rainbows as the saying goes. Wouldn't it take more time and energy to pretend that it is?

Then there is that 5% out there in the world who thinks they are PERFECT. They make sure that everyone else KNOWS they are too. What a waste. I would rather my children know I am human and make mistakes then try to push themselves to do the impossible. Setting themselves up for failure later in life when they finally realize NO ONE is perfect.
