Elly: Because I said to pick up your toys - that's why! Then you get into your pyjamas or else! Elizabeth: Mama? Elly: Be quiet and go to sleep, Lizzie! Noise: SLAM! Elly: And I don't want to hear a peep from you all night, understand? Sigh... you and Michael are such beautiful kids, Elizabeth... how did you end up with a mother like me?

My God I remember when this comic was first released. If I’m not mistken it was the first For Better or For Worse that I read. Had to have been either ‘78 or ‘79. This is the one that hooked me, I’ve been following the strip ever since. {BTW, hard to believe we were once that young!)

Talk about encouraging mom guilt!!!! I wish I didn’t have such a good memory of my Bad Mom days!!! But you can’t let that run your life, you know, or ruin your todays and tomorrows. If you haven’t already, tell your children frequently that you love them and hold them. And it’s okay to apologize to them when you’ve reacted in a Bad Mom way.
