What makes a good parent? I ask this question with the intention of sharing my answer with you.
Being a parent is a great responsibility. It is you choosing to be responsible for another who either comes to you by choice or by circumstance but either way, YOU are going to be responsible for your new addition. Being a parent is a VERY big task and requires lots of SACRIFICE, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND PATIENCE.
If you are a parent and your kids' needs come last to you, yeah, you're a BAD parent. Your kids' need should always be at the top of your list. This is not to say that you ignore your needs but you should be in a hurry to meet your kids' needs every SINGLE TIME!
Any parent who claims to be good but doesnt make sacrifice in time and expenses for their kids, is BAD!
I do understand exceptions where certain parents are just bad and are not supposed to be there near their kids but this post is not for such parents. This is for those who are ready to take being parents seriously and want to do the best for their kids. Kids need nurturing and love. Someone has to be there to show them love and a good example and this takes TIME, SACRIFICE AND UNCONDITIONAL love.
One of the most important advise I can give myself and anyone who chooses to listen to me is to put GOD first!
Let God guide you in your parenting and also use common sense.
