"Everyone does the best they can at any moment in time. No one ever sets out to make a mistake. However, once we know better, we are obligated to do better." - Anonymous
I thought of my children first, sometimes i am really hard on them for making mistakes... i was after all the almost perfect child, and i am not just saying that, my parents would agree... although i do remember my dad getting upset at me when i was 5 that i chewed with my mouth open once, eating with our mouths open was a personal dislike for him, but he said it once and i never did it again. And now that i am a parent i see myself doing that with my own kids. i expect my kids to be the child i was, but i have to say, i wish i had been more carefree as a child and acted like a child sometimes, i always had to do what was right, not allowing myself to make mistakes ever, so reading this helped as i know we do not wake up in the morning thinking about what can we do wrong today to really mess things up, we always do our best, and sometimes we could have done things better, but being perfect is a hard standard for anyone, let alone a child, to live up too!
