Being a Good Parent

My constant struggle as a stay at home mom is .... Am I doing enough? As Americans we believe that unless we have made a name for ourselves we are nothing. So let me ask you if any of us were to die tonight how would we be remembered and does it really matter?
I wake up every morning and have close to the same routine every day.... not much changes. The only thing that I can change is how I respond to my children. Will I be mean today and make the day bad for everyone (myself included) or will I show patients, understanding and in doing so teach my children to respond the same way. I want to raise my children to be Godly leaders and so I need to show them what that looks like.... (Now do I always) No way... Many times I lose my temper, get frustrated and sometimes even freak out. The question is then how to I handle it after the fact? Do I go and apologize or do I blow it of? I have made the choice to discipline out or love not anger. What does that look like you may ask? Before to disciple stop and check your attitude and actions first.... make sure you are responding the way that God would want you to and then administer the disciple. How will your children remember you?
Will I be the parent that my children will talk good about when they are grown or will I be the parent that they will say I hope I am nothing like my parents when I grow up?
