Pop sensation Katy Perry recently did a interview where she commented that she didn't feel good enough to become a mother. Perry stated this feeling came before becoming a mother. I started thinking about that phrase "not good enough to be a mom." I didn't have that feeling before my now 20 year old daughter was born, but, boy did I have that feeling afterward. The first 15 years of her life I would look at her and myself and wonder constantly, "am I failing her, am I making the right decisions? - am I pushing to hard, not enough?" The feeling of - what if I don't get this right -was a constant in my mind. The pressure I put on myself was incredible. Parents want so much for their kids, at what point do we just be happy with where their at? Perry who has had a stellar music career still felt she had to prove herself, and even though we hear it, see it, read it #YouAreEnough when are we going to start believing it?
