I constantly feel inadequate. I try not to compare myself to other parents but I can't help it. I don't really play with my DC's. They're 3 and 14 months. I read to them, take them for walks, to nursery, to playgroup, to an indoor play gym, to the park when the weather is nicer than it is now, we do some light crafts (cut and stick, glitter, lollipop stick men etc) but it seems a great deal of time is spent talking to them and watching DVD's (Barney etc so semi-educational for a big purple dinosaur).
What makes someone a good parent? How do you know when you are one? Do you feel like one?
